I love the way chrome looks on Aegean Blue I'm not a big fan of that rim cause it looks more of a Mercedez type of thing, but it still looks tight on your ride.

Yeah, I am starting to wonder if I could have fit bigger tires on those rims.

Actually the Transmission Problems is due due a root defect in the Clutch Packs inside the transmission. (Honda transmissions don't have Planetary gears.) Nothing to do with tires.

Thats a pretty shitty first post on your part NOOBIE.

Please educate yourself prior to makin any more unfounded rediculous posts.:P

At times it is a little rough but not too bad. I usually go windows down. What makes it worse is that is I have a decent amount of blue interior light. Dont roll your eyes! Believe me I looks pretty clean. I need to take some night pics.

well........have not really got that resolved yet. Front does not at all but the back is bad. It hits the nicks the lip of the fender and makes a nasty noise and scratch on the tire. I am trying to have it trimed but it still does a little even after taking off a bit.
If anyone has another ideas that would be great.

Those rims are a 40mm offset right? Your only solution might be to roll the fenders, but not sure if that'll completely eliminate the rubbing.

It still looks sweet though. I currently have 18's that I got 3 weeks ago and I might end up trading them for 19's. I'm looking at these



We need to have a meet in Central Florida so we can all meet up.

Nice looking rims!!!

The only thing is, they look very heavy. How much do they weigh?
Do you notice any performance loss?

I just took it to my buddies body shop and they tried rolling the fender and said they couldn't and wouldn't do it cause it would look like 'ish but they did cut some of the fender away. It is a little better but I am gonna have to have them cut some more. Any ideas?

I notice a difference between the stock wheels, not very big between the 18s I had on there. So the answer is ofcourse, but it really isnt anything night and day. Nothing that will prevent you from tearing the shit out of some EX's with an intake that think they are "BILLY BAD ASS" with a woping 127HP!

They told me it would be hard to roll the fender because the lip is so thick and while its being rolled it might crack the paint on the outside of the car.
