wrong offset for a honda. Looks dumb. But the car itself isn't bad.

wow i couldve expected better advice than this..according to u what do u recommend...and for the other people that said the offset is not for honda well i tell u this much everybody uses different offset on their honda. for example on the axis og. work wheels.etcc... me personally im not a fan of smashing the tires inside the fenders.. thats y i dont like the offsets that most companys sell. oh and how is it a mexican fitment wheel, i see no chrome spokes??? Thanks for the advise guys!!

it looks good forget what other people say i think what you need though is to drop it a bit more and add more negative camber and less offset to have those wheels flush otherwise it looks weird heres an example


to the owner i will take them down at your request

lose the Egay lips and get the real versions. paint match them and your sideskirts. change your mirrors and grill. roll your fenders, drop it about 1.5" more, thinner tires, and put the center caps the wheels came with.

Apparently you were not old enough in the 90's to remember stuff like nissan maximas on daytons.

This is what I think of every time I see hondas on low offset wheels........maybe its because im 28


I think some angled chrome mud flaps would set the look off nicely

low offset loooks nice when the car is..low..er..those center caps gotta go tho.

i like those rims (i have them in 16's +40/45) but i want low offset like +10 which i assume is what you have..i think this low offset thing is best on EF IMO..

otherwise car looks good and i think mugen lip or Si lip looks good..type R lip is ehh..
