    I can show you how i live...Jus a lil bit (updated)

    So the offer for the rims went pretty fast. This is what i came out with and I am very happy with them. check them out.




    This is how you wash your car when you are a student and cant afford a real car wash!!


    Then you just drive down the freeway when its pouring down and Voila!!



    I sent my guitar to a friend of mine with the paint to my car a while ago. I finally got it back and now it looks soooooo sweet . i am so happy with it right now.




    and just decided to give it a nice wash wax and polish

    Heh, not my idea of a wash, but looks like it worked. The rims compliment the car well...good deal.

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!

    I agree with everyone else the rims do compliment that color very well. Are those coilovers you sitting on?

    Gawd. That car is soooo hot.

    Are you gonna night shade the front markers?
    Perfection is simply a matter of replacing parts.

    prolly not. I would just like to get the 88 bumper back so i can put my lip back on. 88 Turn signal/grille peice and taillights back on because because I had to use the 87 parts which dont look as nice in my opinion. (except the side molding) that and find those B&G springs.

    After school is over and i start making money again I would like to do a turbo b20a. now how SEXY would THAT be!

    Very nice body kit!!and very nice rims!!! but if you care about acceleration, replace them with 195/50/15 or 195/60/14(depends your current engine mods-horsepower??).

    why would I go with a narrow tire that prolly ways the same as the one i have. I want traction, not to spin my tires (well thats what i have the 14's for) Im the kinda guy that Jim 86LXI HB is talking about that takes his car to 10/10 on the back roads. its not so much acceleratoin im worried about as sticking to the road.

    as far as mods, everything was reverted back to stock except the MSD blaster coil and the ALuminum flywheel. and thats plenty good for acceleration.

    The best overall rim/tyre combination for one 10/10 track FWD car like Accord 3g
    is 195/50/15 (on 6*15 wheels) or max 205/50/15 (on 7*15 wheels).
    If the wheels are lightweight like Rotas, Watanabe or even stock GSR rims (6*15) then
    this is the best overall combination for my opinion...........good traction and good acceleration out of the corners.
    This combination is not only good for one Accord 3g with one A20 EFI 125-130hp, but
    even for race Honda with B16A/B18C with over 200hp:

    But anyway good luck with your set-up.
