Default New rims for summer 2013!

From this:





16" Gunmetal ITR

To this:



16 x 7 +44 Work RSZ-R

Near new condition, were installed on a showroom car for years, never used on the road.

Nothing special to some people, pretty ballin' to me, since I usually rock OEM or oldschool.

Still need to order a new set of Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's, my current RE-11's are done.


Sorry in advance for the poor quality Iphone4 pix. Just test fitting them for now.

Clean car and great wheel choice!
This car looks like it's being used for what it's made for

Seems you like gunmetal wheels, they look nice. Ever thought of white?

I have for awhile. I was trying to find a set of all-white RSZ-R's. Although in 5-lug with a fairly functional offset was damn near impossible to find. Seen a set or two on NWP4LIFE forums awhile back but the size and offset was too aggressive for a Civic at 16 x 8, +26. I like to keep my suspension and wheel setup very functional and performance-friendly. Especially when trying to put down 400+ HP to the front wheels. Need as much tire contact as possible.

I do like the gunmetal. It seems to compliment the Milano Red nicely. Although, I agree about changing it up, but these became available at a price I couldn't pass up and I've wanted a set for 10+ years, so I had to have them.

Thanks for the positive feedback so far everyone!

I swear I've seen white RSZ-R's... 15x7. Somewhere.. maybe either MemoryFab or VRWheels.

Thanks everyone, means alot, even though the picture is sub-par at best. Just a test fit. Picking up some new Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's this month.

The EJ will be getting a trans rebuild/upgrade aswell as CRV front knuckles/hubs/bearings to fit the new RSX-S 36mm axle setup with extended balljoints. Looking to put some mid-high 11's down at the track this summer in current street trim at 400-440whp @ 2600lbs w/me in it.

By the spring I will have it ready to go again with a new race gas tune and more upgrades. Fresh pix will be posted when it's finished.

Thanks again!
