If you're daily driving only, I would suggest rota slipstreams brand new they are 500,on craigslist they are around $200-$350 sometimes 100 bucks if you're lucky or some gsr blades for about the same price

Save up for something nicer than STR/XXR. Trust me, only a couple hundred more isn't that bad.

99-00 EM1's in EBP are hard to find, even harder to find stock. I wouldn't touch that car apart from routine maintenance. Unless its just an EJ8
resprayed EBP.

edit: Grill looks non-Si. Can't tell if rear disc brakes or not.

in that case, I'd source a front lip and grip, OEM Si wheels, sell the wheels you have and fund a B16 swap.

But thats just me.

If you peep his post he has 10 available, he's just selling them one at a time. Not a bad price either!

I do like those rims! I'd go with the si's still, but they do look very similar! If you can get a good deal go for it! Maybe do some tire shopping to see what rim has more options in that catergory also! I went with 16"x7" sprint sw9 because they have the itr style, in 16" there are wayyyyy more tires to choose from! (michelin a/s 3 v rated will be my next set 205x50r16)

yes, they look clean, those rims are becoming more rare, and a clean set is getting hader and hader to come by, ever checkout any sprint replica rims?
