Default Miracles DO Happen!! (finally got off the 16" STOCKERS)

Today has just been a good day... new wheels, return of Heroes! w00t

Pics are courtesy of my homie with is Nikon 30D... front/rear lip getting painted this weekend (unexpected issue with the paint lol, s'all good)

Finally got me some 17's!!! w00t w00t Although for some of you this is no big deal @ all. To me it is. the 07 wheels we all know are darker. And I am by no means rich enough to buy rims cuz I don't have money for tires and won't anytime soon, this is one of those deals you can't pass and I happened to have stumbled on some cash on this excellent deal of 07 Si wheels and tires. This makes me so happy!!!! FLAME AWAY!


bye bye to the 16's!!!!


06 Civic EX with 07 Si wheels and no spacers (extremely close and CAN in fact work that way)


But lets be save and not damage the rim, added an 8th inch spacer (3mm)


how it looks w/the spacer in


YYIPPPEEEE


2006 Civic EX on Tein S-techs with 2007 OEM Civic Si wheels/tires

Damn dude... looking good. Its funny, I am doin the exact same thing. I got a good deal on some 06 SI rims, and lookin forward to puttin em on. I have a ASM ex coupe like you. Are the 07's better color matched than the 06? Its hard to tell. But yeah, i'll be rockin those rims soon too!

thanks bro, and good for you.

like i said, we all know that the 07Si rims are darker than the 06Si rims... and I'll be honest, ASM is by far the worst, wish I had my FBP EM1 instead lol, very hard to pick a color... but the 07Si rims being darker kind of offsets the hella bright *** silver that ASM is, good match IMHO, i'll have much better pictures next weekend... Glad I got some 07s instead of some 06s.

good luck with urs!
