i dig the ram/cow bar on the suba good luck driving that and not tearing up that fiberglass front bumper, i have friends there and the roads are not the kindest. i wouldnt worry about the weight of the wheels i dont think you will be drag racing this thing especially with 18's, keep us posted with pix i love a good project

I hate pimp my ride setups, 17s can be pulled off..... 18's are just..... yuk.


"BETTER NOT BE BIGGER THAN 16s"
"BETTER NOT BE BIGGER THAN 16s"
"BETTER NOT BE BIGGER THAN 16s"
"BETTER NOT BE BIGGER THAN 16s"
"BETTER NOT BE BIGGER THAN 16s"


Who am I? Get what you want, no matter how dumb they look.


The side skirts seem extremely...... weird?

Do you feel that they flow with the car? At all? Serious question, I'm not trying to bash you.

edit: Just realized you lost sides and rear, thats great.


If you would shave the two inner fog light holes, the front would look better.

Is this supposed to be some kind of show car?

Thanks Link. Appreciate it. We call them bullbars or roobars over here. Ive been using the same fibreglass bar for about 4 years now and I havnt had any problems. And my car is DEF not a drag racer.

Nike, I remember why I didnt last so long on HFC the first time, and I dont care if I get kicked because if I do, its not a community I want to be a part of anyway. Saying "Im not trying to bash you" does not mean you're not bashing me.
The rules and regulations are different over here. There are strict restrictions on performance parts in Aus, and as a result, the industry has tended towards 'Low and slow". The focus is on building unique and individual cars instead of fast cars, Head turners instead of street racers. Here, 18s are minimal, 20s are normal and 22s are king.

Im not building my car to appease you, I am building it for me. If you cant appreciate the time and effort (and money) that goes into building a vehicle of high craftsmanship, then I think your missing the point. If I wanted my car to be like yours, I wouldnt have bothered doing my car. If I wanted to go fast, I wouldnt just put 16s on my car, Id buy a car that was actually fast.

Yea, I heard you: "Better not be bigger than 16s", Theyre 18s, Id go bigger if they would fit. "Just realized you lost sides and rear, thats great" Dont worry, Im ordering new ones soon "If you would shave the two inner fog light holes, the front would look better" I think it looks fine how it is, thanks anyway. "Is this supposed to be some kind of show car?" No, Its meant to be a hot daily driver. Nothing about it indicates its meant to be a 'show car'. "Who am I? Get what you want, no matter how dumb they look" My wheels cost more than your whole car did, and Im proud of them. They look awesome, and I dont give a damn who you are.

I don't even like 16's I was talking about kingdakota, he posts it 2 times in every thread mentioning rims.

And smaller wheels aren't for performance to me, just look better.... in every single way. I was 16 at one point too buddy, settle down, its the Internet. Most people wont like your car outside high school's and car domain..... You may not even ever grow out of it. In absolutely no way does this car look unique to me, sorry.... A stock civic is more unique than a civic with 18's and a body kit. Thats what ever 16 year old kid does with their cars.


Yes, it is different from what most people do online, where there is a respect for the car they own and the body lines they have... but in my town I have seen maybe 2 cleanly modified cars, and tons of cars EXACTLY like yours.
