Yes, stock 15" wheels.
It's got 180,000 km which is about 115,000 miles. It's up there, but it still runs good. I still daily it too.

The sticker was never missing, it was just ripped due to some kids trying to steal it, so the photographer photoshopped it out.

lol@kids. tell them they owe you the $50 for another set.

see, the problem with having a low mileage R is that you dont really want to drive it, even if you have no intention of selling it in the future. Sometimes I wish my dad and I got a different R with close to 100k on it so we wouldnt worry about putting miles on it. our 97 currently sits at 64,818mi. we've put almost 400 on it since getting it in mid august

We have some incredibly rough roads up here. More rough than you can imagine. +40 celcius in the summer and -40 in the winter beats our roads to hell and the PIC's are just incredibly stiff, even with their softest setting. I just want something a bit more dailyable but still trackable, and I've heard the koni/gc combo does just that.

but we dont go to parking lots :D we go on the interstate weekend-warrior style. and there were 2 owners before us. the owner we bought it from only put on like 2k miles or something small, and the original owner supposedly never hit vtec lawl.

I don't really have an answer to that. I guess I just thought my car wasn't that worthy. But I figured I'd just join the R community, you guys seem like a good bunch of people.

99's are rarer than 97's.

It's entirely up to him. All 700+ that are currently on there were all added voluntarily.

I have no idea. They were on the car when I bought it, but they're too stiff is all I can say.

I believe there were 250? Perhaps even less.

And I just added it to the registry
