And it makes me sleep for some scary reason. Only on the highways when im driving constantly. My school is like a 60 mile drive round trip 4 days a week and 2 days I leave for home at 10 at night which is a very sleepy ride man ! Rest of u all: Thanks for the comments :) Next Project (God Willing) ---->>> Complete Sound Deadning for the entire Cabin !!! Hopefully in Decemeber during my winter break :rolleyes: |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) ^hahaha it's all good man, I figured it was something like that.. just fu(kin w/ ya! I do like those 15's more tho:tup: |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) saddly i liked the 17s better |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) imo i think 15 looks too small on these cars. i had 15s on my sedan and it looked like sheit. 16 is perfect. but in any case those rims are nice :D |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) Good looking rims. They look kind of funny after the 17s but hey, downsizing will always be weird. |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) mucho chiquito |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) whateva makes you happy.... looks nice and i'm sure it feels less bumpy and a little faster.. IMO i always thought the 15's / 16's looked better on the late 90's civics, but that's just me... |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) Thanks all for ur wonderful comments ! :) And I got hell of a hook up on the price >>> $650 with FALKEN 205/50/15's plus Free wheel locks, Nitrogen fill and Balancing and Mounting :sweet: |

Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) Why fill with Nitrogen, is it because the psi is more stable? |

Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) ^^^ nitrogen atoms are larger and wont leak out or heat up as quickly as compressed air. Also is supposed to protect rims and tires from rusting/deteriorating because nitrogen contains no moisture. new wheels look a tad small 16s would have been perfect but those wheels are a nice design. Now you need to drop the front a bit more the gap is more pronounced with the smaller wheels |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) small rims ftw! |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) i liked ur 17s better bro... the 15s are a nice design but a tad bit too small for my taste. still look good tho.. what happend to ur old wheels?? im in the market lol |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) well... Nitrogen is only good for roadracing i say! if you travel a ton, that i can read, it is good, but finding nitrogen is hard to get to!, i mean i like my air...it's FREE!...87% of places! |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) i like the new style, look good, would like to see those in 17's |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) Hmmm... I just put Falken Azenies on mine and got rid of ALL tire noise... What tires did you try? |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) You car looks good. I went from 17" to 15" wheels a while back, and found that it rides smoother, has less road noise and actually gets better mpg. I guess if you just drive around town, you don't really notice. But I also drive pretty far (100 miles round trip each day) and won't ever go back to 17" wheels. I mean, honestly how much performance do you really think 17" wheels are going to give a 90hp Civic? LOL |

Thanks man ! Yeah I saw these in 19's on a 350Z in a magazine bro !!! Sick I tell u :clap: Well it might be hard to find but if u go on wheelmax.com and put ur zip code. They actually tell u a lot of places near ur house which u might not even know of. And Nissan Dealers carry Nitrogen fill ups. They have had em since last year ! Sold for $250! Eggrollbandit05 took care of that ;) in addition the guys said there more quiter for some reason ... well might be! Im actually dropped on 2inches right now. They are dropzone. I dont know of any other way to go lower than that other than coilovers. But at the same time im getting a front lip, So i dont prefer going lower coz of road conditions here man ! Ooo your post count is 666:evil: |

May be next time when i get 17's or 18's I might go for some Michellins coz my buyddy has an 07 TL type S and he said that the factory tires were noisy and he replaced em with these Michellins... $200 for each tire !!! emm i have to graduate for that kind of expense man ! :lol: |

Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) pretty sweet! |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) my 17's make almost no noise.hate those crappy coilover sleeves tho |
Re: Bye Bye 17's :-( Welcome 15's :-) I'd never go back from my 17's to anything smaller, I don't care if my rims called me names everywhere I drove. I like the stance of our dropped Vics with 17's...everything is big on 7th gens, headlights, tail lights, bumpers so why not have big rims on there? Just looks like they belong. I guess if you are happy though thats all that really matters...oh yeah my solution to the noise of my rims...subs and new 6 1/2s...I don't hear anything but good quality music... |
