Yeah, I am definitely aiming for a smooth, clean, and good looking ride! I do like those SI wheels, was also thinking of with a little more spokes to give it a bit more flare..

Have you guys heard of "Nexen" tires? They're pretty cheap - we just bought some for the commuter car - seems like a smooth ride. They also have that lip ring to protect your tires, which I thought was pretty cool for the price of them. What do you guys think of them?

I'd recommend Kumho Ecseta AST tires. You can buy the cheap through tirerack.com.

Yeah, 55 bucks a tire isn't bad at all. Just got done messing with the head lights.. I used an Magic Eraser, damp towel, and some wax and it came out crystal clear.. I was looking at the "What is my engine" thread - the EX does come with a VTEC correct? (am tired and confused ! :P )

yes the EX should have Vtec.... main giveaway is the vtec solenoid right behind the left side of the valve cover.

I used to have Nexen tires. Good performance, horrible life.
