I think the wing spoiler looks nice with the whole aspec package.

And i agree with ballinfizzle i think the ride height is PERFECT.

but its your car, and a beautiful car it is.

Well it is part of the ASPEC package so id hope it looks good. Ive thought about a lip spoiler...but with the roof spoiler its just too much. The ride height is alright...but not perfect. Still has a one finger gap, and im going to chop off fingaz!!

Buh dont remind me...I had placed my order..
1.5 months ago AME told the shop that they were 2 weeks into being made....
1 week ago they called for another update, and AME has no record of my wheels being ordered.
Ive decided to not wait another 3 months for them so i bought these back from my step-brother so he can order his CE-28's. Good thing i kept these in family

Thanks alot. Im gonna try to squeeze them with a 5mm spacer and lower it some more to eliminate finger gap. Im running on 225/40/18 Federal Super Steel 595. These wheels were on my brothers RSX so he had to run the 225's, and still rubbed. Works out alright for me because i have that much more room to go low.

Yea AME dreams are destroyed
These need to be touched up in a few places. Trying to get my old wheels setup to be refinished right now, so after that ill probably put money into these. Or may go vise-versa...these are worth more.

Ha, one of my wheels is at Skips right now getting repaired. He qouted me $912 to color match in WDP with some fancy paint that is "stronger that PC"...damn wheels arent even worth that much. Im going to give a place called Continental Coating in Tualatin a call and see what they can do for me as far as color matching goes.
The wait on the AMEs AGAIN is what made me cancel my order.

$912 is damn expensive. rather get new wheels with that money

just refinish them into gold or bronze and keep aspecs for conservative style

Yea mine are a little neglected by the guy who owned the car before me, o they are in need of repair/refinish. For right now they will work just fine, and ill swap out my ACEs for shows.
Dont loose the roof spoiler, think you and me are the only two that have this exact spoiler.

Ha i knew it would throw a bunch of people off.

Running a 40 series. 225/40/18 to be exact. They are 225 because my brother was using them on his RSX, and was having rubbing issues. Works out alright for me, i just lowered the front 1/2 inch and the rear 1/4 inch this weekend. No were near rubbing.

guess what.. i've been drooling this thread almost once a day and finally pulled a trigger on new 8.5 gunmetals today.. don't know why but i fell in love with the aspec wheels and can't stop thinking of it everyday. haha..

gunmetals made back in 2004 aren't that shiny like the newer finish called "ebony" but i think it'll be alright with wdp. assuming it'll be somewhat lighter color than stock typeS wheels. probably around next year, i'll dip it in chrome.

planning to stick in 245/40/18s. 5zigens might be put on '02 CR-V if I can't find the buyer
