Default Alright Finally.....THIS or THAT????

Aight...in the "downgrade process" from Ricer to Racer. H22 swap and everything....

Have got rid of the kit, and the tails (atlthough they're not off in the pic). Now need Opinions on the wheels.

I'm goin with the BFG G-Force Drag Radials for great grip or slicks, with the great "street legal" plus.


Now my wheels are either the Rota Slipstreams in black :

Or I'm actually leaning more toward these Black Racing 15's (In Black also)
(4th from the bottom):

Now ANYONE heard anything good about these black racings? I know they're supposed to be light as **** and all....but what do ya think? Check out the zoom pic.

i dont know what you were saying about being a ricer or something.. anyway your car looks very clean, but some 16inch slipstreams would look nice on it

everyone and thier mom has rota's. Why get light rims ?
everyone says a 14lb rim is awesome, 12lb rim, etc.. but guess what...

you still have stock civic susspension componets, still 4x100, still have heavy *** brake componets, and a car that runs 14-17 seconds in a qtr mile. Thoose rota's/light rims won't do jack **** for you. As far as looks, well.. again your just gonna look like the next thread.

Ha...my thoughts exactly. See my problem is I can't hook up at the track worth a ****. I still ran a 9.013 in the 1/8th (and it was my first time EVER at the track). So I'm goin with 15s and some of those BFG G-Force Drag Radials:

And i was liking the Black Racings, but wondering if maybe the slipstreams have an advantage that I'm kinda over-looking. I've got springs and suspension components ordered.

And YES i am actually. They're actually RacingHart CP-035s. (Around $400 a piece online) wrapped in a fairly good set of Falken FK451 215/35ZR18s. (Also around $160 a piece online) Interested? I'm pretty much GIVING them away. make an offer

OH yea....here's the pics of the swap for WalkingKenshin:
