Those rims look like the Enkei joints my boys had on their 98Maxima and 99 Accord coupe. Also aint the Type -R 5 lug! Sorry you been had, better luck next time.

P.S
That was back in 98-99 when they had those rims.

Dude, there are like 150 million people in Bangladesh. I doubt they know an ugly rim from a good looking rim from a piece of cow dung.

Being completely serious, there may be more than a million Civics in the US adorned with gigantic wings, puffy paint, and 15" exhausts.

I say "To each his own", if you like em bro...rock em! Wheel beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I never liked web rims and think they look like poo but half of you guys rock em and think they are God's gift to cars. One guy here cracked on my $900 BSA wheels and I was shocked b/c I have had nothing but compliments on them even though they are not staggered. I was at gas station once and one guy just stared at my wheels and said they fit perfect and were awesome, I'm like "who in the hell is this dude...get away from car lol". I think 22" big azz chrome wheels on cars look ridiculous (ghettofied), but hey that's my opinion. Bottom line bro...all that matters is that you like them forget what we say.

if you plan on upgrading ur calipers, say goodbye to your rims. they have to be high disk setup to clear even the supra tt/LS calipers and at least 17". Most other upgrades, since you said cost is not a factor, will require at least 18" rims. So this at least gets you a chance to rectify this horrible choice on rims.

Probably should of did a poll on the rims before buying them. If you like them don't worry about the comments, but you could of retained your stocks and saved the cash for better rims or LS400 calipers.

yes they are better since they are bigger, but do note that you'll also have to use LS400 rotors and for this combo, you need high disk wheels. search about it, all the answers are here and the threads are quite numerous
