Finally! traded 20's for 19's - pics inside - tell me what you think
 
So i posted a thread last week about trading some 20" Lexani Chrome Slate Wheels for some 19" Enkei RS-7 wheels. Well... I did and I am pretty happy with them. I slammed it on Ground Controls, not as low as i wanted it but good enough to tuck the rear tire and a little in the front. Tell me what you guys think, sorry for the bad pictures, took them in school parking lot - lol.

Thanks for looking!

looks a hundred times better man....are those enkei's?

Mralbino 12-11-2006 08:38 AM

Eh... Nice rims but not feeling the size, you have a pretty clean ride but the wheels are way to big for a civic. 15-17" ftw

thanks, yeah i was thinking about getting 17's a while back but when i saw pictures of them with a drop, i didn't really like it and the anything smaller is just too small in my opinion but that's just me :)

19" damn do you have any suspension travel at all? What happens when you turn? Your tires must be rubbing and I know 19" tires aren't cheap. Anyways, keep the ride looking clean.

kronickz 12-11-2006 08:52 AM

Oh, one more thing, i need opinions on whether i should paint my lip kit white because when i recieved it, it was already painted black. A lot of people say that it corresponds with my hood, grille, and soon to be headlights. Plus, i think i might paint the wheels black and leave the polished lip. Dunno help me out guys!

I can make full u-turns without any rubbing and it rides pretty damn good for 19's. About the tires, they're only like $100 off of tirerack for like a continental, cheap tire but useable. and yeah i plan to keep it jdm, i'm working on a turbo right now, i have everything i need, just missing an e-manage.

ronaldo9 12-11-2006 08:56 AM

I would paint the lip kit white but thats just me bc I like flow. You can get away with just the hood being black and black rims look very sexy on a white car in my opinion.

kasimmmmm 12-11-2006 09:02 AM

damn.. those must be some really low pro tires... wuts the profile? looks really nice. Post more pics!!!!

kronickz 12-11-2006 09:05 AM

the tires are 215/35/19's. Thanks for the compliment and i will post more pics when i get my lip kit, grille, and mirrors painted.

djrabbi 12-11-2006 09:15 AM

wow which idiot traded with you? i hope he had a SUV

abmerop18 12-11-2006 09:41 AM

lookin clean, but i think it would look alot better with 16s or 17s

kronickz 12-11-2006 10:50 AM

you always have something to say don't you?

Kevbotron 12-11-2006 10:51 AM

HUGE improvement:tup: it looks like you lost the chrome door handles and such too. Now trade the 19"s for some 18"s or 17"s lol

Str8UpCivic 12-11-2006 11:00 AM

I would say keep the lip kit that color i like the way it goes with the hood nd u said u are going to paint the rims so itll look pretty raw. the car is sick. post pics when u get the turbo in! good luck keep it up

01HonderCivic 12-11-2006 11:15 AM

Paint the lip and black out your headlights and you'll be good

metalviper 12-11-2006 11:28 AM

yeah i ****in do... have a problem with that??? im not the one goin from 20's then 19's

Suzy Q 12-11-2006 11:54 AM

paint lip kit, BOH, trade for those 19s for 17s or 18s, oh and clean the car i see bugs! >_<

jester444 12-11-2006 12:40 PM

Not really feelin the car, man. Not sure why.

Personally, I think the wheels are too big, but I doubt you're gonna change that. Black out the headlights, that will help an amazing amount. There's a DIY somewhere on here if you don't know exactly what we're talking about.


Oh, and if I were you I wouldn't be stepping on the toes of the few people on here that actually have experience with the car.

tnel2005 12-11-2006 12:51 PM

hows the ride quality??

SOAD 12-11-2006 12:52 PM

i still dont like them but anything is better than stupid chrome

kasimmmmm 12-11-2006 12:56 PM

nothings wrong with 19s... they're just strait pimp! im' personally sick of seeing civics that all look alike. Everyone does the 17s/or 18s. The 19s are looking nice. I understand why you're not painting the lip and there's nothing wrong with that... goes well with the black and white theme. Nice work bro.

jester444 12-11-2006 01:14 PM

The lip looks great. I think BOHs would accent the lip, actually.

MidnightCivic 12-11-2006 01:31 PM

Car looks nice, the rims go well with your car. Like said before blacking out your headlights would make a big difference. Personally i like the black and white theme it might be played out but it sure as hell looks nice. Keep up tha good work and keep it clean :cool:

Kevbotron 12-11-2006 01:45 PM

what a difference :eek:

jester444 12-11-2006 01:49 PM

Oh good call, dude. That looks SO much better. The previous wheels look like a bad photochop.

estebomb_ftw 12-11-2006 01:56 PM

Looks clean, but trade those 19's for some 17's now. And it'll look a lot cleaner.
