I wouldn't have done that, but I'm not you so do what you want man. I dont' like the way the slips look, so in that aspect I like the Si's better. Be sure to trade lugs also

Tires were what, 10-15 more than what 15's cost? I'd take the 16" slips over the 15 Si's anyday. The slips prolly weight less than the smaller Si wheels and will handle better.

Not big on body cladding so the CTR lip doesn't do anything for me.
Oh well to late to do anything now, and if your happy with them that's all that matters.

best trade every those factory option wheels that come on the SI's are great wheels they improve the look of every car out there, plus you will get less attention from cops, thevies, and stupid ricers. i love my honda optional wheels

I couldn't agree more. i wanna get rid of my TE's and rotas and just hook some Si wheels. I want my car to be more low-key.
