Rota + Eibachs

I finally got around to taking pictures and I figured I would share. My camera is old...so this the best that I can do for now.

Stock wheels


Rotas


I have the stock tires on the Rotas w/ 5mm spacers. I wanted Advans but they are way too much $$$$$$$$$$$$.

if you're going for looks they look good. But at 24lbs a rim, bad for acceleration purposes. And it will throw off dyno numbers

I'm just going for looks here. It's my daily so I don't need coilovers or super light wheels. Although it would be nice, but it's just not necessary for my use.

The stock wheels aren't concave like these wheels. I'm going to use the stockers for winters anyway.

Looks sweet man, I've got the same rims on my 9. I've got 265s mounted though, you could fit 275s easily when your stockers wear out. The stock enkies weight around 22lbs, so I doubt you will notice the extra 1lb much. If it was on a low torque civic, then you would notice it a lot more. I'm making 300hp/tq at the wheels on a mustang dyno (low hp reading) and I hardly noticed any difference from my stock enkies.

The Rota G-Force's look great on your car! The 18x9 +30 G-Force wheels weigh 23 lbs on a USPS certified shipping scale.

thanks for the complement. They are 18x9, and the 5mm spacers are not necessary. I only got them so they would look a little more aggressive. They are +30 offset.
