Hey guys... so i got off my lazy arse during a cigarette break today and snapped some pics with the new rims on...

Guys i must say, i like the look.

Before you guys flame me, I am aware of the fact that my ride-height is like a Rav4. I need to work on that. slowly getting there.

you work really fast !!

yeah, i work fast sometimes.. not a good thing.

I sold the old rims... they were heavy and they vibrated at hight speeds. and painting them black was a bad idea.

The tires are 225/40/18. These rims are 18", and it is lighter than my old 17"

The rims were for 2200.

I feel with the new rims the steering became lighter and easier, but the car is the same power as before, i don't feel any difference in accelerating.

Next: lowering springs to make the car look less like a 4x4.

Looking good....

I like them alot!

told ya the gunmetal with polished rim would look good !

Must say they dont look like 18"'s - the Coupe must have some large wheel wells...

(im not saying that in a negative manner!)

Once again congrats

jin: Thanks jin man...

Accord: Thanks man... you were right... black was bad, gunmetal good.

yeah, these rims filled up the wheelwells pretty nicely.

mikeh: Thanks man, glad you liked them... i guess camera-phone dosn't quiet capture the finish properly

now i have more confidence to take dunebashing lessons.

- next mod: eibach springs.

still thinking about it...
