Finally got some tires on them. New tires, mounted, balanced, and on the car for $285. Can't beat it. Kumho Solus KR21's, 195/60/14. Car is DIRTY. Tires were not washed, no tire shine on them. Rims are even dusty from sitting for a month. Tires have some sort of white residue on them. I might do a final re-polish and wash the thing for a mini-photoshoot later.

Spacers ended up being unnecessary for my LX. EX brakes would likely need a spacer though. So now I have a spare set...

In other news, the Si's are in storage and also on the back burner.

I picked up two spares for $50. Both are curbed. One is pretty trashed. The other is good for a full sized spare.

These pics seem to do them a lot of favors. They're pretty rough. Both were CAKED in brake dust. The dude who had them before me had them on a gutted EG hatch with a JDM B18C swap. He beat on it pretty hard. No surprise about their condition.

I washed the car, repolished the rims with Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish (**** is cash), threw on some tire shine, and called it good enough. Here are some pictures to show the shine on these things. Pics can't really do them justice though.

Damn Hobo you got wirrors for wheels

Sexy dude i think you could pull them off for the winter and like i said in your other thread, when it comes spring time just sell them to someone who's willing to slam their ride ha they'd look good on a slammed civic muaha
