I AM!

New setup for this year, heres one teaser pic.



Wheels were just slapped on for picture, more camber/rolled fenders coming.
They are 15x8 with a 5 inch backspace.

me niether, one thing that makes them look good on vws is thier boxy & dated styling. The civic looks too modern to work well w/steelies. Cool idea though

the wheels look alright on the car at the moment, you definitely need a more aggressive front lip & stance to pull them off. maybe if you lowered the car another inch or so and added some more camber it would look alot better

I agree.





Also this saying from -Na-All-The-Way- comes to mind.

Becoming original is now so common that originality is now, in fact, unoriginal.
