If you haven't done so already... go to the photoshop forum and post up a pic of your ride and these wheels and they can photoshop it for you... That should give a good idea of what it would look like

thanks guys. yes that is the sn i use on honda-tech.


what kind of power should a stock GS400 make? i was bored last night so i put mine on the dyno, just curious where the numbers should be (not that i care at all, its just nice to know if the motor is healthy!)


it would be kinda cool to fabricate a rear mount turbo set up though lol

The only piece I think ties well is the plate over the tag in chrome and the exhaust tips. Trust me when I say this, bc i felt the same way you do right now.
That owner need to be sent to the depths of the ocean with his car.

if i'm not mistaken, bone stock should be 235-40 @ the wheels. although some have reached 245. what type of dyno are you using and what numbers did you come up with?

thank you!!! thats what ive been searching for forever. i think that looks really good, not ghetto at all.


on a 20x8.5 and 20x10 what is the ideal offset? been searching around on that a bit too, just not as much as i should.

i believe the wheels im looking at have a 40 offset. i figure if the 40 doesnt put the wheel out far enough i could always rock some spacers?

im sure i'll end up shaving the fenders/quarters. you can have the perfect looking wheel, the perfect drop, but it just doesnt look right if the wheel doesnt hug the fenders/quarters enough!

oh yea...the car made 235whp/255wtq. its bone stock.
