Default falken hanabi on my 2000 Si

Sunday last week I ordered some wheels from Edge Racing, hoping they'd get here before the DC ProSolo. When I found out they werent shipping in time, I tried to cancel and Edge gave me the runaround, so I decided to wait untill today, delivery day, to just refuse delivery and get my money back that way. Unfortunately while the postman always knocks twice, UPS just leaves your stuff in the backyard (and came about 3 hours earlier than they ever do) so I came home to this around 2:30pm:


Instead of continuing to be pissy with Edge, I just kept the wheels because I really didnt feel like making UPS come back out tomorrow because I'm being a douche about wheels taking a week and two days to get to me from Miami. Besides, all the wheels I've found locally for sale are either rota's i.e. heavier and narrower, had **** tires, and cost just as much. Opened up the wheels, which were individually packed, found the lugs and cheap plastic hub rungs (which are sitting in the basement since they're crap and not really needed) and put the wheels on. I think they look pretty good, and being relatively light at 30ish pounds I cant complain. Cost me about $730 shipped.

So far I like 'em. Its been raining since saturday, so no idea how they'll be, but in the rain so far they're great. Much quieter than the Nokians on the stock Si rims, ride better too.

They're backwards on one side of the car!? Looks good, but yeah that backwardness

You sure those wheels aren't directional?

That's normal, GSR blades look like that too.

Hmm, they are different. I have seen these wheels on a few cars in a few different colors and I'm not really feeling them in 15". I think they might look a little better on that car in 16" What type of tires are those?
