Default New wheels... whadya think?

Went down to Vancouver on friday to meet EkCoolGuy and pick up these gunmetal HX's w/ Falken Azenis from him. Gave my car a wash yesterday and took some pics... check here for the rest of them: http://www.nwhonda.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2734

Yeah, 14's... and I had to shave a little off my EX calipers to make them fit at that. I do agree, the tires look a little "balloon-ish" on my car... but i'm satisified with them, and for what I paid, they're a decent wheel/tire combo... plus it's something a little out of the ordinary from all the big chrome *bling* *bling* wheels all the other honda "enthusiasts" around here have...

I also have the feeling that lowering it about an inch more will make a world of difference as well... tuck those tires up in the fender wells just a bit. Too bad UPS can't get my coilovers to me in a timely manner...

Yep, they're OEM... no hub centric rings required.
