Well guys...as i do love my 16"s Im thinking its time for a change. I would like the 96-00 stock SI rims with tires. They must be great condition and the tires must be good brand. The tires must also be in 90% + shape. No hardcore dings or scraps...nothing thats not perfectly balanced. Would prefer 205 tires, but i guess 195s will do.

In trade i will trade you my white 5Zigen Inperio with Ventus tires. The back are 205-45-16s in the back and 205-40-16 in the front. The backs are in awesome shape, id say 90%, for the back, id say about 50%. The rims are in ok condition, they have a bunch of scraps and little of the lettering is wearing off. Id give them a 7/10 since the scrapping is bad. I can provide close up pics later. Since the tires have been put on, they are balanced what they have on right now. The are pefectly straight and no major damage to them. Its all pretty much cosmetic damage. I might include the locking nuts with the key if your stock SI rims have something similar to prevent theft.

Well you may be asking, why would i do this? Again, i want a different look. I know my rims alone are worth more then your whole stock setup, but theres a catch. You must pay shipping both ways. Also, since i dont have any other tires atm, i would need to have them shipped first. I will of course provide you with all my details, we can chat on the phone and you can verify my feedback on Heatware.com under HighLife. Local is South Florida area....Palm beach, Dade, Broward Counties. If local, i will not be making anything on the deal since there is no shipping...so i will just ask for 75$ to cover my gas trip to you and maybe some extra left over for a beer afterwards.

Again, your stock must be 96-00, must have 90%+ tires...must be perfectly straight and balanced, must be in 9/10 cosmetic condition. I dont mind a few minor scraps, but nothing more. I will be taking these to honda and letting them check them for any type of misalignments or damage. If they are not in great-new shape, they will be sent back at your expense. So please dont give me anything thats been banged up. These will prob be my last set of rims on this car before i decide to sell it, so would love a honda brand rim to go with the car. Also, for me including my locking nuts, i will need at least the samething or similar for the Si Rims...If my lugs fit, might just keep them.

If you want to contact me, you can get me on Aol (mourdrede) ICQ (875328) MSn (highlife_@hotmail.com). Please take pics of all 4 rims and tires, close up if possible and send them to domchin.us(AT)gmail.com I would also love to see the tread, a penny inside the tread would be perfect.

Some pics...

EDIT- Just PM what you got, might be able to offset the condition with some cash. Will accept cash now, 500 local pickup or 500+ shipping.

Some offers, but nothing solid yet

 

Here are some shots of a penny inside the tread.

Fronts



Backs

 

Ok, lots of offers for steelies....come on guys, Si rims only. This is a AWESOME deal for someone who is looking for a new look. The rims cost me more then your whole rims and tires setup.

Come on, Civic 96-00, hell even the 01-02 EX rims are the same i belive, but the stock tire is higher...must be a 45-50 series tire.

 

whoops, double post

 

still looking

lol... good luck buddy. Si are more desired then those... you act like they are Volks or something.

 

It depends really, if they are more desired then Si Rims, how come there are hardly anyone running Si rims on their civic anymore? I live in Broward, there are about 50,000 civics in my area, including the old school people who use to hit Tower Shops on Friday nights. I dont see Si on any of those civics. Nor do i see people selling their Si Rims for more then 400-500$. I think the majority of people who have them, keep them cause 1 day they might trade in or sell their civic.

Si rims more sought out then 5Zigen, thats a joke right? Cause it for sure made me laugh a sec. If Si rims soooooo great and soooo sought after, how come people even buy aftermarket rims/tires? I guess you must know something everyone else doesnt

Basically the only people who ride Si wheels are A- Poor and cant afford nicer rims and tires or B- going back to stock look for selling or trading in. Im not saying these are the best you can buy, but they are sure nicer then stock. I would keep them but again, i think im going to sell my car in a few months and try again for a Evo. So i want the car as stock as possible.

Ive had great offers for them, but just no in the condition i would want.

 

lol, why not just get some donuts and hubcaps with spinners and call it a day.

what made me laugh my *** off was "Well you may be asking, why would i do this? Again, i want a different look. I know my rims alone are worth more then your whole stock setup, but theres a catch. You must pay shipping both ways."
Your a salesman or something? hahaha

then...

"I will be taking these to honda and letting them check them for any type of misalignments or damage. If they are not in great-new shape, they will be sent back at your expense."
how the hell u gunna do that when a trade is a trade and whats done is done. its not their fault u didnt look at what was infront of ur face.

they not made of gold buddy... towers is for ricers... much like ur wheels.

 

Most people think that when you trade for stock, that something is wrong with the rims/tires. To stop this, i posted that statement.( Well you may be asking, why would i do this? Again, i want a different look. I know my rims alone are worth more then your whole stock setup, but theres a catch. You must pay shipping both ways." ) I wanted to make sure that the trade is 100% clear. Not some misleading information, which leads to a bad trade, which leads to a bad trader rating. I like to make sure all my bases are covered. I can tell by your last comment that im the only one out of you and I Also, there is another reason. I plan on getting a new car soon. As you all know, its much easier to deal with you car ( to dealership ) if you car is stock. They not going to pay me for my aftermarket parts. I want my car as stock as possible if my deal for my Evo goes through.

If you read you will see that i asked that the rims be shipped first. This is the wonderful magic i was using to have the ability to have Honda look at them before they mount them for me. Pls take time and read again and you will clearly see that statement.

Im not saying they are made of gold. Im saying they are worth more then stock Si rims/tires. The tires alone are what most people charge for the Si rims/tires.

As i said before, i wanted this to be clear and everything covered. I didnt want to have a person wonder why i would do this trade in the first place. How many people you know that are trading nice aftermarket (Not Volks, not GOLD) for plain Stocks?

Tower shop was for ricers, but also alot of other people who were not ricers. I never really hung out with the Honda people, just browse their cars and what they have. Mostly i was in the Suburu area since all my friends had WRX's. There were about a dozen or so civic people that showed up that were more go then show. These people also showed up at Miami scrubs (haha) on sat nights to show off their cars. Again, alot that went there were ricers. More show then go for sure...However, not everyone is a ricer. I consider myself a ricer cause, well im asian and i eat rice hahahahaha.

So pls read through my post again before you make more senseless comments.
