Thanks Eric! I really appreciate that man! Hopefully I'll see you and the rest of the Charlotte crew soon.
Thanks Ravin! I just texted you. Hopefully we can get together and take some pictures.
Thank you
Thanks! I love these wheels more than ever
EVERY car has centercaps so I figured why the hell not? It's not like it's hard to slap them back in or anything.
My rear fenders had to be rolled and the fronts were left alone. I had my mom, dad, and the 4 stock wheels and tires in my car last night and I didn't rub at all. I have no complaints.
Thanks! Hopefully I'll make my way up there soon!

Wow, congrats man! Looking great...it's funny, until recently I never even noticed the difference (or didn't know I was looking at the difference with a nice setup vs one that was tucked in) in the flushness...but once you DO notice it you realize that it's as important to stance as is the ride height! Spacers get the job done. I'm looking to get a few for my fiance's 8th gen accord...she's lowered but stock 17's are sitting super tucked in. Might even go with 30MM rears!
Congrats, btw, after all the heartache nice to see it was worth it.
PS...about fender rolling, the rear is harder, the front...IF you end up rubbing, heat gun and the handle of a hammer (easy to put some torque on it to twist it) and you can do it yourself. With the +35 fronts with the pretty chunky 235 tire I was rubbing (I'm also a bit lower) and don't have negative camber...i was able to do the fronts by heating and using the hammer handle...then you progressively lower the car more to give you the angle...then for the front of the fender where it meets the front bumper I dremeled a cut into it and bent both sides up.
JUST an fyi in case you end up having to do this if/when you get new wheels or your next set of tires are more wide.
Lucky you, all 4 wheels in the car and 3 people...I'd have to lose some bass to make that happen!

I'm +30 up front with a 245 tire with ~1.2 degrees of camber on each side. Honestly it's not that close to rubbing. If I start to rub I'll take your advice and do what you said. Thanks for the tip
Yeah I was expecting to rub last night and I didn't. That was before my alignment this morning too!
A crazy storm hit here last night so my car is filthy once again. You get the point though...
This picture really shows off what the wheels look like in direct sunlight...
My milage as of today...
My copilot when my girlfriend isn't sitting shotty...
And now I'm off to work to make money that I'm just going to pour into this damn car.

Hot. As someone else mentioned, the wheels match the tails now, it all just flows. The color looks mean. Brilliant work.
Looking forward to the 105K service? I hit the 6 digit mark Saturday.

Great, I love how dark they look in the shade! Did you think about that option to have stickers made? Maybe white ones to go with your car? Then, if you ever get bored you can remove them!
PS...your tires look like they will last you a very long time! I was close to 0 camber, I've since given myself a LITTLE bit in the front and rolled the fender and burned off some of the liner with the tire. Now, I don't rub much. I tried raising the rear in case I have someone sit in it...but I couldn't live with the front tucking and the back a little gappy. PS...did you know you can adjust coilovers with the wheel still on the car?!?! at least the rear I was able to!
AND, on a side note, anyone else hate that your gas needle moves at 17 miles...then drops almost to 1/2 tank at around 60 then just sits there till almost 150. I swear, I drive it chill as heck...and it is still at 3/4 by 60 miles...then I just say fuck it doesn't matter anyway and start driving how I want to! I wish the needle would stay put...stupid, I know, but my RSX-S used to not move until 53 miles. Although I was still putting almost 50 bucks in a supped up civic so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Thank you!
Haha thanks. He's the man.
Thanks Craig! When I picked the color, either it was going to be a brilliant decision or it was going to fail. When I first picked up the wheels I thought I failed and then I got them on the car and I'm in love. I had quite a few people today stare at my car. Made me feel good
No I'm not looking forward to the 105k service at all. At idle I'm starting to get some vibrations in my brake pedal and steering wheel so I think the motor mounts are starting to go bad. Plus my brake rotors are warped so those need to be replaced as well. Ugh.
Haha yeah I know man. Considering I've never seen centercaps on your Works, I knew you wouldn't bust my balls seriously about that. I kind of like the look! Different!
And Cosmo is tha shit. Hopefully you'll meet him soon! He's been to a few local meets already
Alien?!?!?!
Yeah he's a bit bug eyed. Poor little fella can't help it. He's cute in an ugly way
Yeah I've considered the stickers but I just don't have the time as of right now. I have class everyday, work, and then yardwork for some neighbors. I'm not trying to make excuses, I want the stickers done, but they are low on my to-do list.
Well my front two tires are pretty worn down while the rear two are fairly new. The specs have been posted below
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one with a fucked up gas needle. I drive 30 miles and it doesn't move but then I drive another 30 miles and it's down to 3/4. Wtf.
Thanks! I really want your wheels
I've posted my specs below all of these responses.
Thanks man! I never thought I would have put spacers on my car but they really do change the whole look of the car. I love them and I look forward to seeing yours installed on your car!
Yeah he's my buddy. Some friends didn't want him anymore and were going to take him to the pound. My girlfriend and I couldn't let that happen so we took him in. He's such a good dog and always down for a ride in the passenger seat.
Thank you! It's nothing compared to your setup but I'm happy...for now

Yeah that chart sucks ass but you get the point. I have the Ingalls Camber Kit on the rear and the front is stock.

Ideally I would like the centercaps to be colormatched to the wheel with the "A" being black. I've thought about white but I think it will be too distracting.
Thanks Bee! The car is filthy and it keeps raining so I'm not going to take the time to clean the car. Hopefully it will be cleaned soon!

Thanks! I love looking in my rear view mirror when stopped at red lights to see a car full of people trying to figure out what it means.
Thank you sir! The rotors, pads, and brake lines will be replaced when the 105k service goes down. I've been on HeelToe quite a bit recently building my own brake package.
I'm part German so that goes pretty well. I don't hate Jews though.
Thanks
Agreed. How about you get your effing wheels put on the car already?
So it's official...I rub
I think if I was running 235s instead of 245s I wouldn't. It barely rubs on the very very outside edge of the tire. I only hear it when I go over a dip in the road or when I'm taking a turn with some speed. I'm not too worried about it though. Gotta pay to play.

You gotta give yourself some camber...or roll a little fender!
LOL...
heat it up with the heat gun...jack car up a little to fit hammer handle in...then proceed to roll back. It will work! Trust me, and isn't too hard. Or preemptively go get them all rolled professionally...good 100 bucks to spend probably!
