Default Okay, time to spill the beans. (need wheel info)

I plan to buy a set of these for summer wheels and slap some nice summer tires on there... considering Nitto or Toyo maybe. Not sure on tires..

Basically I need to know if these will fit no prob or if i will need spacers ect....

They are 17x7 with a +45 offset so they will fit perfectly.

Sorry, not sure about the spacers but those are some clean rims. Nice pick.

and you can't base wheel weight on looks... thats like looking at a blonde and assuming she's retarded... some of them are pretty damn smart (okay bad anology) but you catch my drift

and NICE PICK UP!!!!! i love the rims, but way the **** to expensive (I say that because they aren't exactly light weight) but I love the look

for tires, put some Falken Azenis on them... tires are as sticky as the sticky icky

They are worth the money I say, its hard to find Gunmetal EP3-R wheels. I ebay checked the wheel model and only found them in white. Made by Enkei so I'm assuming they are quality wheels.

I'm just going to make an observation:

When the Si was not even released yet and all the magazines went and tested the pre sale models, they all said something about the stock Si wheels being really girly or something to that extent.

Anyways, despite early comments like that, I have barely seen any other wheels besides the OEM Si's on Si's. Usually on HT someone slaps on a set of wheels first thing, but you guys are sticking to these OEMs like Accord guys do (but that's because we have no choice )

Anyway, those new wheels are nice...

Yeah OEMs are nice. Everybody's spending their money on other mods (suspension, performance, shift ***** etc.). Wheels will continue to come out so they can wait.

yea lol

as for the ep3-r wheels

they are great looking wheels
however for the money...... ALOT nice/lighter/super high end wheels can be purchased or even a little cheaper rim with an insane tire combo.
