thought i would take some pics of the new wheels and the JDM midwing i got fitted
i bought the wheels off a guy in bournemouth , i was told they fit straight on but i had to fit a spacer (which luckily i already had) as they rubbed on the outward facing part on the caliper because of the big brakes
the tyres are Eagle F1's too :)
i got the midwing off a JDM SiR
i think its completely changed the look of the car now (p.s the lexus lights are gone too)
heres the pics

nice...looks almost like the mid-wing is molded in from the pics...wheels remind me of rota/ spoon...what size rotos are those?
Civic Jim
02-23-2005, 08:52 AM
the rotors are 282mm , not sure about the width,
the wheels are rota slipstreams :)

Abou big brake kit, I'll try to put porsche 4pod caliper + big disc on mine...One guy in here has that set for sale so if I'll have enough money I'll buy that kit and mod it a little and put it on my civic...My mechanic already has that set on his golf GTI 1. and it look so damn BIIGGG and the caliper is lighter then my original from honda (the porsche one is from aluminum I think)

Keep the red stripe and ignore those wankers. Those wheels look like spoon/rotas and probably only weigh 12lbs if they're 15s (ie. tire-smokers and not stock)...
Civic Jim

the wheels weigh 6.6kg not sure how many lb that is ,
i am keeping the stripe, its JDM Yo

Click on this link and scroll down to see one of these types of wheels on a digital scale...

I guess it depends on the rim itself, paint, center-caps, etc...

Gotta love the Slipstreams. My brother said the exact same thing, he thought I just painted my stock ones or bought stock black ones.
But you're car looks clean as hell man :thumbsup:
