the whole kit screems VIP Style man. I mean the sides are not much but they square it out and make it close to the ground. through som solid face rims on it in chrome and BAM you got a ride.

nah you dont want 20's on the car just go with a nice 19" racing style wheel like volks even know they are well used on the board.

yeah it is kinda like the kenstyle kit in that way you could get the look to possibly go either way all though it will always have a little VIP style look to it no matter what.

I don't know how the WALD grill would look on my car though, i mean, doesn't the line in the middle of the grill look kinda weird?
I think the grill would look good on your car man. I still like that kit though too but wont buy it for the way I am styling my car.

the mugen kit does look fairly serious/peformance styled but the way your car is at the moment you dont have to go full pimp or full performance look - sounds like you'd prefer something in between. Make your car look how you want it to! don't conform to a particular style
I would say go with a set of 19's definitly. Not sure what style you should go with but you should go with sonmething you like and that is unique.

Yes you need to finish the rest of your car too first. You already have a really hot kit on your car dont switch now already. And I am going to get FEELS anyways so you cant put it on your car.

I have a feeling we may have to find one of the extreme photoshopers to do a color change on the white FEELS Euro R.

I kinda do want to give people the feel like, DAMN, that car is pimp....but at the same time, screams perfromance
that already is a style man atleast to the people in the show circuit. it is called Show Performace. It means basically the car is done with a performance looking rims in a larger style and a race like kit. then there is less put into really doing performance and engine mods on the car. They also normally have a sound system and such which takes away from the race look.

but don't discount the grill we get here in a australia, it actually suits the mugen kit really well (Tweigh's car from ozhonda.com):





even if you have this grill for the mean time while you try and source something a bit more unique - i'm sure you could find one fairly cheap.

I just don't think many grill's will suit the mugen kit that well besides the actual mugen grill or something oem. The pond grill and backup grill just don't seem like they'd mesh to me
yeah I think you should atleast do that grill in the mean time.

A lot of people can see massive rims and think a car is fast because "shit look how big its rims are! must be serious about performance" haha when in reality lightweight and wide 17" would be better for actual performance.

yep im a huge fan of Advan, ssr and works wheels - go for them over volks - especially if they got a style you like. I love the SSr rype C's, work emotion cai and advan TCII and RGII all so damn nice
yeah it is funny but it is a style on the show scene called show performance. obviously smaller lighter wider wheels are better for performance.

I think you should get a set of SSR GT3.

I might get the Mugen grill to try it on and see, but, send me a PM when you are selling your grille man!
just do the stype s grill and stop putting it off.

BUt you can't really blame them, because look at all the high performance cars, they are equipped with big rims, M3= 18", M6= 19" , Ferraris = 19" i think...

I like the Works cai, kinda looks like euro R, that's wht i wanted Volks GT-V, but ya, VOlks is too common. I am getting into Advan and SSR and Works now. I am kinda into the Mesh style all along, but the mesh doesn't look good with our car, and not many people like it. But now, SCREW OTHER PEOPLE< i might get mesh style because i just love it!! I know both Advan, SSR, and work has them. Advan has 38+ offset, so might not fit, i duno about SSR, but Work ones will fit!
hey man have you ever seen the video of the esclade that does a 10 second quarter mile with 24's on. not sure if it is a 10 second quarter mile but it is a extremely fast quarter mile time even for a car and its an esclade with 24's on it.

I might be selling my grill within a month or two so i'll keep you posted.
yeah I think you should get the Type S grill or the Mugen for right now and then spend a lot of time looking for the super right super rare grill.

i'm pretty sure you can get SSR's to fit the euro and some advans should too, just a matter of finding the correct width and offset i guess. I've become a big fan of the SSR rims lately, especially their forged wheels.
Go with some SSR's

I kinda like the SSR, there was a set for sale that was cheap, and was kinda what i wanted before, 6 spoke with a lip, but i don't know, i still want new wheels...... SSR is pretty nice too, i used to be just about Volks, now i am expanding~
Yea I am not a fan of the SSR wheels. I mean you could not go JDM and go PIMP instead with a set of HRE's or a set of IForged wheels instead.

i had a look at them, and i don't think they come in 17" and besides they aren't forged - i want wheels that are 15 pounds or under each. Really the only SSR rims i'm interested in are the Type C.

from memory dzuy is selling his 19" te37 volks, i wonder if he still is? this could be a good option, but they're gold so you'd have to get them repainted.

but i think it's a good idea to avoid volks if you want to be unique, they are quite common. Some BBS mesh styled rims might look nice? I remember seeing a mugen TSX (the front bumper replacement kit) with some mesh style rims and it looked impressive.



Benz, if you take some photos of your car from a photoshop friendly 3/4 angle or perhaps even more side on i'd be able to up some quick photoshops of different style wheels on your car. - i'm gonna be in LA, Las vegas then vancouver for the next 3 weeks starting tommorrow tho... so maybe sometime after that

But not many people BUY FEELS stuff. They have all kinds of stuff for last gen accord (CL1) and S2Ks and Fits..... but apparently, most people can't afford them, and people who can, don't know much about FEELS and just go for Mugen or SPoon~
