no unfortunatley not this one. I am not to sure if any of em did... May be.
But all i got is that poket piece and conect it with the radio part and the center console. The thing is, they should be out there in different colors( i would imagine anyways), was your interior red or brown? somethign like that, right?
Cuz so far ive seen this in blue(which i got right away) and one dude had it in black in his SE Si.

Well.. I said I picked some wheels up, been working on them tonight, the clear was peeling so I sanded them down by hand, first with 120 then with 220. Then washed really well, and painted. Here's a teaser of them still in the booth. AKA on the floor... in my basement...

Not sure what they're off exactly, but they're called Flyers by the VW community. 45et, 14x6, 195/60/14 Goodyears.

Thanks, I cant wait to get them on. I finish work tomorrow at 6, so I'll prolly top up the air in the tires and slap them on before it gets dark. Pics by the end of the weekend! They stick out a bit wider than the steelies did, so I assume they'll handle better.

Well... they call it bronze, but I think its more of a dark pewter. I did 4 coats on each wheel. To be honest, the hue never changed. I could have left it after the 1st coat. But I figured, might as well slap that **** on while I have it. I got 13 coats out of one rattle can of Rona brand paint.

Did you notice a big difference in handling with the new rims?

yeah, Toronto the roads are really bad after winter, so I feel EVERY little bump with the shorter series tire. But it does seem to handle a tad bit better, the tires are 2 cm wider so they'll hook the ground better, and I havent swung it around corners because I havent torqued the lugs down yet. I checked online, and it says Honda's take 80ft/lbs? correct?

It also kind of pulls sometimes to the left now with the wheels on. I dont know if that's due to the slope of the road and the wider tire is just the culprit, but if I'm on level ground and gun it with my hand off the wheel it tracks straight. Anybody know why this may be? Things I should check?

Probably just because of the wider tyre. the roads here have a huge crown, and i find it pulls hard to the left, but on flat surfaces it tracks straight.

oh ok good thanks, thats what I was thinking. What's a midrange 195/60/14 or 195/65/14 tire cost in the US? Make/model/price please. I would like to compare and see what it costs here. The US border is only 1.25 hrs from my home, so if it's a substantial difference I may just make the trip. I also need some stuff for my Cutlass. Not that anyone cares lol. TIA for anyone that has bought a similar tire, or knows prices offhand for some reason.
