Funny...when I scuff my SI'S FRONT LIP it has black under it...weird...must have got a Lemon or something...

The parts are interchangeable my friend, they are all black and then they hit the body shop they become painted...maybe take it to a less lazy body shop...
Digging for an argument over an emblem? This is a post about WHEELS, not a damn emblem.

What's the point of painting a lip if it's natural color at least looks decently good on the car, if it's going to scrape and/or chip off? Pointless time, effort and money spent IMO. Less lazy body shop, yeah, if they weren't looking out for my better interests like I said, they'd gladly lie to me to TAKE my money, but instead they are honest and they know what they are doing and talking about.

Blue Neons? Yeah, hello my car isn't rice like that. Oh, the ones under my dash that you CAN'T see and I almost never use? Right... My interior has NO blue parts what-so ever BTW, obviously you know NOTHING about my car, and outta stop going on about it before you get too far behind yourself.

Anyways, meanwhile back at the ranch...
CivicSiRacer: The car doesn't seem like it's lagging anymore than it did before.I got these wheels 50% because of the fact that they weigh only 2.5lbs more than my Circuit 8 rims they replaced. 14.5 pounds they weigh, to be exact. But of course weight is weight, and adding more even if 2.5 pounds (or 20 more while in motion ) certainly won't help anything, but it isn't hurting either that I can tell.

I'm Sure the people with Aluminum Wings think that looks good also

ON a side note I like the Blue Lips on the Blue Hatch.

If it fits your car, and they style that YOU are doing with your car, then why change it to suit someone else? Kudos on keeping the lips blue on the rims. BTW, jealous haters ain't no thang to me.

BrokenLimits, either grow up and stop flaming on people's rides, or disaplinary action WILL be taken against you, plain and simple! You guessed it? Guessed what? Guessing things makes you look ignorant, learn when people are being sarcastic, but FIRST learn about someone's car before ASSuming things about it that you just don't know about.

I guessed you had Neons, I was right. I guessed you had painted interior, I guessed Blue but its Silver.

Jealous Haters? I am Jealous? LoL

Dont ASSume you know what I have...I believe I have it listed.

This is a web forum, you posted your car looking for opinions. If you want to ban me for giving them then be my guest.

I dont ban people for giving their opinion on the site I moderate check it out sometime www.clubsi.com
haha, ONE thing listed. Emblem doesn't count since you can see it in the pic. Where on earth did you get blue interior from or neons for that matter, even if you guessed HALF right on them? Oh right, I have a black lip and a blue emblem, so naturally I should have a wing, neons and whatever else "ricer" stuff is out there. Yes, logical thinking. I sure wouldn't go around saying I'm mod somewhere when I don't even look like I know what I'm talking about, and start flaming someone's car on another forum.

Re: w00t for new wheels! :D

What ever Limits that jackass has Broken I thing the new wheels lokk kick ass and the blue silver and black looks good to me. I just got some 15x6.5 gun metal circuit 8's on my 'desert mist' (basically gold) DB7 and i love the combo. The lighter wheels (even lighter than the 14' stocks) makes everything feel easier... just sweet, although I couldn't imagine going back up in weight for the wheels now that I have tasted the 11lbs (I think, correct me if I am wrong) Rota's.

Just keep the neons off that Civic and in my opinion it looks great. Besides I know about those sweet ass Tein ss that are hiding under there.

Thanks man. I think the C8's are 12lbs, but I've heard all numbers between 11 and 12, LOL! Eitherway these Grids are DAMN light, 14.5lbs. to be exact. Teins still doing their thing under there. I'm thinking of stiffening the rears even MORE using the original 6kg (448lbs./ft) fronts that I have sitting here in my room. I'll have to inquire to Tein if they would be too stiff for the standard SS valving or not. I hear people can safely up their Flex springs by 4kg over the factory springs, so I'm hoping my SS will let me do that as well.

Oh yes, get some pics of your car up with the new wheels if you can, DoubleTap.

Because you're a closed minded ass, and he's not! Big differance there.

Besides, why are they such a big deal to you? Have some freak accident with some at somepoint in life? I mean it's done, it's dead, FORGET ABOUT IT!
