You downgraded to LS webs from a 5 lug?

And there is an appearance/cosmetic section for threads like this.

i like the LS's the way they are, they look perfect on your car and the replica mugen lip doesn't even look bad either.

why did you lose the 5 lug? that's a huge downgrade if you ask me.

I'd go 5 lug again, even keep the gunmetal R wheels. and a OEM 99/00 Civic SI lip, other than that it looks perfect to me.

Hot hatch bro!!!! Definintely a head turner if you ask me.


Some white 16x7 Track R's with 205/40 tires and red blox lug nuts would look ideal to me.

But the anodized LS meshies and CTR rims looked sick!
