thats damn sexy

[Legend_master]

Dude, very nice choice. That is going to be a badass looking ride once you drop it.

[Catalyst]

Thanks guys! But After I slapped those wheels on there last night, i noticed that the tires come realllllly close to the torsion bars, and it doesn't look like I will be able to drop it.. but im not sure.. It may be because the tires are soo wide.

[russiankid]

I need to get some rims on my car soon. Looks good. :rockon:

Looks Sweet and Sexy :thumbup
What size tires are you running?

what size tire are you running and what is the offset of the wheels?

[Cheeseburger]

very nice!

[Catalyst]

195/50R15 82H

[Legend_master]

195/50R15 82H


That means it has to do with the offset of the wheel, because I am running 205/45/r15 and that mean my tires are wider then yours. When you say the torsion bars, do you mean the one that runs from the suspension to the front frame of the car. marked here on this picture

Yeah I thinks its those ones. I just kinda felt back there and used my hand to measure the clearance though.

[hotdoghogie]

omg dude nice tires... drop it and i will love it!.... they look just like the wheels im wanting... u helped me out alot now im gonna get them

SLAM IT!

[Legend_master]

Well that should not make a difference when you lower it unless it is already hitting that bar. Have you checked to see if it rubs with the wheel is turned all the way one direction?

[frantik]

nice wheels.. hope ur able to drop it with em :)

[MessyHonda]

looks good....and they have lip

[Catalyst]

They make Zero contact with anything atm, wheels fully cranked, taking turns full speed... no rubbage whatsoever, so you think ill be ok?

BTW thanks for all the comments!! Im really glad I went with that set of wheels now, I wasnt quite sure if everyone would like them or not, but now im glad I have them! Thanks alot guys.

.... Next comes the exhaust, then the window tint, and then if possible im gonna drop the car. :D

If the torsion bars are the only thing they are close to, you should be ok. I would check to see how close they get to the inside of the fender (with the wheel turned all the way in one direction). That is where I would be the most worried about rubbing. Turn the wheel all the way to the left and look in the wheel wells to see how close the tire gets to the fender area. I cannot say for sure if they will rub the fender (after a drop) unless I knew the offset of the wheels.

Great choice in wheels, but where's your center caps?

[2oodoor]

Thanks! I have the center caps, I actually just put them on after I took the pictures, I had to run to the hardware store to get the right screw to attach them to the wheels, but they are on now, maybe ill take some more pics when i get home. :)

^But you're the one with mesh wheels.

[MessyHonda]

With center caps, and tint your windows!

[mkymonkey]

oooh i just got an idea! paint the center of the center cap sylver....the inner circle. tape it off and paint it sylver. THEN stick on an H decal on the center...and paint back to black......peel off sticker after dry and voila! custom Honda Center Caps :D

[Toneloc5145]

Gahh! Those wheels remind me so much of my 5 spokes. Even the center caps look similar. Your car looks good with those. You shouldnt rub with 195mm width tires, but that also depends on the offset.

[88accordhb]

very nice, just drop it a little and it'll look even nicer imo. clean hatch btw.

[hotdoghogie]

center caps look cheesy now... i hate your car now... no offense

[MessyHonda]

center caps look cheesy now... i hate your car now... no offense
you are a jelous MOFO...lol

:violin:

[hotdoghogie]

no i get my gsr blades with brand new nittos as soon as taxes come in...

jdm is life

i still like the fact that he drives a 3gee though

[SQ is the SQUAD]

i think i also like the rims better without the caps.
if that was my car i would:

drop it at least 2.5, but id be aiming for 3"
upgrade to a coupe bumper (couldent tell what bumper it was)
paint bumpers whit to match car but leave trim black
throw on black 89 teg lip (i just counted, i got 9 teg lips laying around, lol)

[Catalyst]

Yeah i think im going to take the center caps off. :/ Thanks for the comments!
