I've seen many posts on various forums of people buying from Dali.

Your other option is eBay.

Car looks awesome, UD.

I'll get wheels eventually. But first, CBR600RR.

had the suspension tuned on that thing for rebound...so it rode a little stiff and dampened but wasnt bouncy at all....

had a list of mods planned to it...was a 2003 Honda CBR600RR...


bike was stolen from outside my apartment over night

I had it for like about 3-4 weeks....miss that crotch rocket...

LMAO, Marcel...I'm sure that by making a comment like that you're hoping that members only know your current set up and are not going to retort with some smart alecky comment about how only 3 months ago you "couldn't believe you guys lower your cars and run aggressive fitment" with dem ***descriptive expletive*** old wheels you on your car...

Cause it would suck if someone did remember something like that!

Just placed order for some universal flat/slightly domed silver center caps and new Rays decals.

Sometimes, a little sprucing up helps a lot. I also think I may have filled the tires up with too much air, which obviously would affect the ride and contact patch. Little details to keep me entertained!

Here's the absolute worst of the damage, and only on this one but as you can see, lots of tread left.
After doing more research...the AP1's managed with a friggin 6.5/7.5" wheel combo...
7.5" all around with a slightly different set of tires will be fine for now...
Plus, I have a friend that's looking for 2 of mine for his NSX front and is trying to source some 18x9 TE for the rear...if that happens, him and I can make a deal and swap.

Yay...I'm happy I didn't throw the baby out with the bath water!

New decal will mask it nicely...

pbook...you're a trip.
Poor guy I was going to meet with...this time I saved his number and told him I'd give him first text if I decide to sell in the future.

I have also been in touch with my buddy that will be likely sourcing the set of 18 x 9" for a swap. I'd have to think about new stickers and powdercoat for the spokes to match anyway...then, good set of tires.

We shall see!

No, Anil...remember, I have those oem throwback civic centers but they are raised and look kinda busy. The ones I bought are abs and just silver and slightly domed.

I wanted a set of TE-37s for my 03 V6 6MT Accord coupe ever since I got it back in 05. Sold that a few months ago and now I want some for my TL-s. Or for my s2000.

It's probably the best looking wheel ever made.

CE28N's have always been my fav....I was carried away by Jeremy's Advans for a bit but in the end got what I always liked....

TE37's looks amazing as well....but something about 8-10 spoke wheels do it for me

CE28s are decent... but if I were going with something with that many spokes I think I'd go with the work emotion XD7 or XD9. Sweetness!

different stroke for different folks


the XD9 are awesome but not lightweight....the CE28/Advan RG/RS/TE37 bring in the lightweight factor (which does mean a lot to me)....

else I loved the XD9 set which John (ebelp) had....you should check out his thread...here is his type S on some XD9...

Mugen GPs would also look awesome on these cars. Too bad I sold my set when I sold my Accord. Probably should have kept them.

What I don't like about the CE, is that the spokes taper...but I agree, they look very similar to Advan, most people confused mine when I first got them.

TE, I used to hate...but then I got a deal I couldn't pass up and drank the Kool-Aid.

Either way, first world problems like a mofo.
