I got bored today and so I decided to "borrow" the wheels off of my sister's Civic. I think they look pretty good, just wanted to get some input on what you guys think, any suggestions?






Also in the process of painting the valve cover. I have a question though, will it hurt anything to leave the cam pully and belt un-covered? I don't like the white plastic over it.




Does that look normal for a car with 116k on it?

 

The wheels look good but there is a bit too much gap inbetween the fender and the tire for my liking.

 

Yeah, I don't like the gap either. I've been looking at some 1.5" lowering springs, but I don't want to make my insurance sky-rocket, nor do I want to lose ride quality.

 

Why the hell would it skyrocket? My insurance company has NO idea my cars boosted........I guess thats why its only $900 per year. Chances are, if you get into an accident anyway, the car gets fixed the way it was. You take it into a shop and get an estimate....its not like they call your insurance company and ask them what kinda parts you had on the car. I got rear ended, and put my bent rim on the rear, claiming the kid bent that when he hit me......his insurance company paid to get my car fixed, and they paid for the rim too. My insurance company knows nothing about any modification done to my car.

 

I don't know, they always ask if the car has been "modified". My brother in laws truck insurance was going to be outragous because his truck is lowered. (about 2" off the ground)

 

i dont like the gap

my insurance company knows everything thats modified on my car because i have insurance on that, so if i do get in an accident, its covered in full

 

Actually, if that was right after you put them on there after having the car jacked up, the suspension will settle quite a bit and it wouldn't look like a 4x4. I love those wheels. OEM flava, Keepin it clean.

That cover over your cam gear is for dirt/dust/debris. Unless you live on a dirt road you should be Ok to leave it off, but I have never seen anyone leave it off without an aftermarket cam gear. Just paint it.

 

hahaha, Dude you drive a '90 Wago, how high can your insurance get?!?

is that thing awd?

 

Ahhh... and the king of wheel gap himself chimes in.

 

Just for your sniper...



I'll be picking up some meatier tires here pretty soon to finish off what's left of the gap......ya bastard
