anyone else find it ironic that Stars post is retarded and what the original poster asked was not that hard a question that you had to state the obvious he spelt a word wrong.

Now having said that, those were nice rims but i'd go Motegi Trak Lite in 17" or Volk CE28's if possible. Both are light and would look nice. Besides the rims, how did you make out once you got the car back from the bastard thieves?

In my personal opinion, either Rota Circuit 8's in a 16 and bronze or these.

Some Work Meister S2R would do you well. Or maybe some Rota Auto X 15" if you have financial restrictions.

No they took the rims, my carbon fiber hood, my Spoon 5" cold air intake, 2 L7 kickers , a hifonics brutus 1600watt amp, 4ch ppi amp, pioneer deck, vtec controler, and like 3 bucks of change that was in the pouch. oh yea and a year supply of honda magazines my buddy gave me.

as for price range i gotta get a new hood,ignition,door lock, alarm, and i have about 1500 to spend possibly. so im trying to budget as much as possible :-)


id like to get 17"s (were on there) and good tires were only running me about 72 bucks a pop, kuhamo? (not sure how to spell the name). were AA traction, and temp A. compaired to 18s run me 150+ a pop

I second that... but also consider Buddy Club P-1 Racing QFs. Black finish, forged... sweet wheels.

I was told Buddy Club does not import the QF into the US or Canada, only the SF version.

The SF are cheap, $399 shipped for 15" in the marketplace, so what $599 for the 17's? Konig Heliums are also pretty cheap, light and look great with a bronze finish. Treadepot.com is where I got my old 17" Heliums from.
