pdiddy has some disgustingly sexy rims that are 19s i believe, sames style as mine just bigger and better.

i didn't wanna go big on rims since toronto is ASS for pot holes and can EASILY throw out ur alignment and or bend a rims so i stuck with 17's. plus tires are way cheaper, and bumps are much easier on the car.......................

but if i could have it my way i'd steal pdiddy's rims and call it a day :-)

why roof racks? I see them on old accords on TAC and i don't get it. Looks weird to me. It's not an SUV.
Your best bet for rims is to look on kijiji or local rim shops i think. Although i had my rims shipped from Cali! Can't find them here. Get some lower offset if that's what you're going for. 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

if I ever start mountain biking again I'll need to investigate that topic. but right now, it's nowhere near needed. I mean, LOOK how big our trunks are.

I use my car for hot tub service sometimes and i still got plenty of room for shit.

i got a Yakima rack on my CL with a wind fairing. Looks alright. Works great for skis and boards. i'm using the Q-tower system just like that Civic above but without the bike racks and a new fairing.

I saw this one custom roof rack done by another azine member (who's name i forgot) he was also doing a turbo set-up on the auo trans, lasted 3 runs and then needed a 6 speed to keep the trans from blowing.. lol

anyone know who i am referring to?

I would really like to show that thread/picture of that insane custom basket rack... I LOVE it...

id avoid roof rack unless u really need it. Ive been able to fit skis and fishing poles in the trunk or can use the pass thru door but for bikes u prob need the rack unless u want to take wheels off. Lots of options for wheels matters what u like. Id start by going to tirerack or other sites and picking out some you like. Then make sure its the right size/offset and bolt pattern.

Thanks, Im looking at a set of Gram Lights that I really want. I just need to source them in the finish and offset that I need.
