Lime Green Wheels? Hmmm...
So I've always been interested in the 06+ Civic Si wheels. These popped up on craigslist the other day and I thought what the hell, why not? haha.

I ended up just trading my 04 stockies with 3 bad tires for them. So they didn't really cost me anything and I figured I could play around with the colors and stuff since they were already painted lime green (not a great spray paint job anyway) haha. I think they actually look decent, even lime green. The offset is terrible though and the tires are wayyyy too low profile. I may throw on my spare set of 235/45s though and I think it would help. They have potential to look decent with the right spacers and tires...

I also picked up another set of stockies for a great deal and a set of 18" A-Specs that I had on for a couple days. They need tires though; they're too low profile. Thanks to USMarindelta (sp?)











Also here's a pic of my latest 500$ mod. Thanks to my bro

Maybe if they were 18s. 17s are too small.

Paint em gunmetal and get yourself some megans or form and functions and lower the car till you tuck the 17's...that's the only way civic wheels will look good on a 3g.

Funny...those wheels look fairly large when they're on a Civic, but they look tiny on a TL. Not feeling it.

Hey you don't do that! Lime green rims belong on Civics, not TLs... and 17s are too small no matter what color the rim or size of the tire.

LOL at people thinking this is the worst thing anyone's ever done to a TL.

I see why you like them and I'm sure the ride is much better than with A-Specs.
