There is a soler that parted out and selling a set of SSR wheels...gunmetal with the polished lip

I saw a set of them in black last night looking through classified and really like them...I think I might have a pic somewhere

That's a Techno-R / Type-M (Mugen Replica) with the foglight holes shaved.

wow, thats some crazy fitment...yes on the 16X8 if its got like a small enough offset (i'm guessing 35 or less) but the 16X9 might be real tough unless its really low...

You could play the spacer game to fix any rubbing you encounter...definitely will be an agressive fitment for sure

Bingo, we have a winner! It's a euro bumper. The bumper doesn't have a real name, all the companies that sell the bumper give it another name.

A really good scam? I've already made $2k doing this and have been doing it less than 30 days.

That was the day we went to Santa Cruz. I don't post many pics of it because I don't have many pics of it. My camera sucks so I don't like to waste my time taking pics with it.

got my springs, struts, and lca's in, just need to get them on the car and she will be a roller again. need to change out the steering rack since my p/s rack is garbage. I have a non-p/s rack waiting to go in thats in a good shape. then put some work into the engine bay and I might be able to drive it again by august or september. haha.

koni yellows, h&r race springs, and skunk2 lca's btw. also bought 2 new black door handles, black button maplights, and part of the shift linkage with the u-joint in it since mine was bad.($44 from honda for that part, not bad)

If you want to do 16's, do them properly.

Don't be running any of the newer stock honda rims, the offset is an eye sore.

I've always heard 16 is the way to go on a sol...anyone have more input on the 15 v 16" wheel?
