Pics with new rims finally on

[Jareds 89 LX-i]

Yes, FINALLY I've got my new rims on! I've only had them since last april, LOL. Anyways, got new tires online and they arrived on friday, and I mounted and and balanced them on the wheels today (*note.... mounting low profile tires SUCKS!! It took 3 people, each with a prybar, to hold down the opposite side of the tire so it could slip on). I'm very happy with them though and (I think) they look very good! Only bad thing is it gave me an even more painful reminder of just how much I need to looooowwweeeerrrr, hahah. I guess you could say it looks a bit SUV-ish now, so guaynabo89 has been relieved of his duties, LOL. I also painted all the calipers and brackets silver, so they don't look quite as bad....

Looking good Jared, now all it needs is a drop. :thumbup:

[88LXi68]

Yea definitely needs a drop..looks good tho. I think your the first 3g that has rear mudflaps but not fronts lol It is usually we have fronts but no rears.

[lightbulblxi]

do u even need a jck to change ur oil? anyway, lookin good. i love that black on your car,reminds me of how much i wanna paint my car.

[blazin3gen]

God damn jared :jaw: that looks sweeeet! all u need is a damn drop like my car! omg man im tellin u with rims a car is totally new!

[Jareds 89 LX-i]

do u even need a jck to change ur oil?
HA...very funny!! LOL :stick: Nah, I know it's up there.... definitely needs a drop. But unfortunately as we all know, dollars don't grow on trees :( I was kinda hoping that after 332,000 miles the stock springs would have sagged a bit so it wouldn't be quite as high.... guess not! hahahah

Thanks for the compliments though ;)

[Mike89Accordcom]

Looks nice Jared.

[Cyric_accord]

Looks sweet J, kinda the thing you drool over.... :bow:

I have three mudflaps... I'm missing the front driver's side one... :rolleyes:

[Bryan]

Definetly a good looking set of rims.

[BITESIZE]

Lookin good, slam it, and vht those turn signals

[A Dawg Jr]

Nice clean car.. I love it!! If you do drop it, I say go 1.5.. You're car looks awesome with that clean stock look, don't take that away... imo

[Not like a rock]

oh man... that is so clean. And I have the same mud-flap setup. But I painted mine the same color as my car. Tuscany Taupe Se-i.

[jigga225]

yha man that silver on the rims is hittin hard with the black.
Good job man. Now heres what you do............
1- Leave it high for about 3 weeks so you gotta put up with the 4x4 look
2- Buy your stuff (springs, struts, camber, all dat stuff)
3- Slam it! **
3*- Ride with black steelies for 1 week while freshly slammed
4- THrow them choppas back on and man its gonna feel so goooood

[NXRacer]

no money? Need to be lowered? EASY. CHOP DEM BEATCHES...... :-D It will look 100% better with even the slightest drop.

What size tires are you running? 35's? Those are pretty damn small man. Its gonna ride ROUGH. With that size tires, coilovers arent even an option unless you get some kickass struts to go with em.

lookin hella nice though maing.

[Moodybluesr]

That is a sweet ride... the communists got one thing right... all cars should be black! :D

[Cheeseburger]

the car looks good with the rims

[87accordlxi]

Wow, looks terrific Jared!

[i.c.]

i need to get some rims..

[nswst8]

Looks good, now your ready for the next mod.
NSWST8 :cheers:

[Justin86]

You mounted them your self and not to mention low pros. props dude!:D

[Grant2k]

looks good Jared. i remember when you got those, i forgot about them.

[kevinh]

looks good but it will look great lowered

[SiR]

Lower it!!! I like the tires you got, which i have as well, but to everone, if you have the money to spend on higher price tires, do it. IMO, they are just too fragile compare to Yokohamas. But everything else like wet traction and wear are very good!

[wprocomp]

reminds me of coronchos accord

[Jareds 89 LX-i]

Thanks for all the positive comments!! :wave: And don't worry, it will get lowered..... soon! To whoever asked, the tires are 40 series, and suprisingly they really don't ride that bad. Of course they're not as soft and cushy as my stock 195/60-14's were, but I didn't expect them to be. Steering does seem to be a bit more responsive, and even a little jumpy at times, but nothing major at all. Overall, still very satisfied :)

[Grant2k]

oh yeah, welcome to the world of driving 205s. wait till you get into some nice corners, then you will see they are way better than stock, at least i think so. i had to put my stock 185s back on this summer for a day and i noticed a HUGE difference.

[blazin3gen]

[BITESIZE]

yah, ya slacker, getter lowered already......I love the rims and your black paintjob....wish mine wer black.

[doug]

nice job. if you don't mind spilling the beans...how much? I liked it so much I went to discounted wheel warehouse and they have a set of 4 with 4 Kumho 712 205/40/17 and 4 locking lugnuts for 884 bucks. Is that in the range you paid out? better deal elsewhere?

Thanks!! Lowering is definitely on my to-do list, right after welding on my new rear quarter panels to fix the rust holes. But yea, black 3g's are the BEST!! After I get done with all my bodywork, she needs a fresh coat of paint.... original paint is starting to show it's age :(

Thanks again! I bought the rims and tires seperate from each other.... got the rims off ebay through one of www.whalentire.com auctions (came from the same place as if you got them off the website, just a lil cheaper), for $95 each + $26 for tuner lugs + $45 shipping. The tires I got from www.tirerack.com for $63 each + $41 shipping

Sooo.... 95*4(=380) + 26 + 45 + 63*4(=252) + 41 = $744 total

:)

[Vinny]

Looks GREAT Jared, and I'm sure some's very thankful you took his stature as the SUV-ish accord. I think a new sig pics comming due with all the changes and such. Anyways it looks great.

[doug]

Jared,
Did you happen to weigh one of those rims while waiting to get the tires, if so what did you get on weight?
