Here is a picture of the wheel. Its not the exact picture. This wheel is silver, what i got is silver with a polished lip. They dont make just the plain silver ones anymore so i had to get the polished lip.
heres a 5 minute photoshop of those wheels on my car
Once i get the wheels i will definately give it a photo shoot for you guys and post more on this thread.
Some info on the car. Its been in the family since it came from the lot in 1988, we still have the sticker that went in the window. My dad drove the car for the first 90,000 without it ever making a trip over 20 miles at a time and only in stop and go traffic. Then my sister had it for 10,000 miles. I got it just after it hit 100k. I drive it all over the place, 3 hour road trips every weekend during the school year. It now has 154k on it and it runs like new. Which suprises me since the first 100k miles were stop and go city driving, not very good for any car but it doesnt seem to have effected this honda.
It is lowered 1.5" on H&R's with revalved Bilstien. No mods to the engine yet because it hasnt broken yet. I upgrade things on my car when those parts need to be replaced anyways. So this process of modifying my car has taken a long time.
First started with tint
Then carputer
Suspension
Tires were bad and now new wheels
next i think will be the exhaust, its not looking too good, especially around the catalytic converter area.

All they have now are wheels with polished lips, so they probably have yours. Give them a call to see before you order online. Their website online shows every possible wheel but not just what they have on stock.

The rota grids weigh 16 lbs, and i think the stock honda wheels weigh anywhere between 16-18 lbs.
I actually ended up getting kelley tires. The place i went to had a buy 3 get 1 free deal and the kelly tires have the same temperature rating but have a better treadwear and traction rating and they were more expensive at the normal price. So i got the better kellys and saved around $80.
Kelly Fierce 83W
Treadwear 420
Traction AA
Temperature A
Toyo Fz4
Treadwear 300
Traction A
Temperature A
Getting the kellys was a no brainer especially when they were cheaper.

man those do look really good nice job
Nice wheels man that car looks great. Is it lowered at all, if not a small drop would look even better.
Edit: Nevermind, I just read your car domain it has been lowered.
What site did you order your rims from?

Another note about the wheels. I definately enjoy not having the hubcap rattle every time i go over a little bump anymore. The cornering improved dramatically even though i already have stiff sport suspension. I do feel that the acceleration is a little slower with the new rims because of the weight being further away from the center compared to the stock wheels. With these bigger wheels it requires more angular inertia to get them moving or something like that. But the difference is very slight so it does not bother me that much.

I placed my order by phone because they do not have all the colors that are listed on the website. Call, see what they have. It took them 1 week to get them to me from california to indiana and they offer a good price.
