Wheels make a huge difference. I also snuck a peek at your basslink setup. How is it fastened down? Did you listen to it mounted in different places in the trunk? Lookin' good.

I just used 4 bolt/nuts and predrilled through the cheap particle-board floor. It holds really well...even through a day at the track. I think it sounds best in the middle, but that really limits the amount of usable trunk space. With it on the right, I still get good bass but can fit some luggage on the left when I need the space. I can still get 4 1/2 golf bags in the trunk.

Ah, the true use of trunk space!

I love 'em wheels!

Who plays with half a golf bag? You playing with midgets?

I can't view the pics, but my basslink is deep in the trunk on the passenger side, and I can get 2 full hockey bags in there still. Love the trunk space in the CL!

I like it better than covering the entire front bumper. It isn't as noticable this way. But thanks for the opinion.

no matter how many times I see those wheels on our car they still look so natural almost like the car should have came with them.

Nice FN wheels. Maybe I'll ante up one day and get a set.

u guys with 225 35 19s i spoke to tire rack and they are experts at this and they said running 225 is no good for 19's on our car, get 235 because of passeger weight and car weight will cause tire to blow. any input?

A Civic is nowhere near the weight of a CL.

Sorry about that. I've been extra careful around the construction here in Bellevue. I wanted 235's but they didn't offer them in the Spec-2's. The store manager said the Spec-2's run a bit wider than other 225's??? I didn't know numbers varied. I just said 'uh-huh' and bought them anyway. Great tires...unless it gets wet outside...and, oops, I live in SEATTLE!!!! I miss my SO3's.
