They look good! I think they'd look even better with a little drop.
Also, I'd keep your stock wheels. You never know when you might need them.

Is it snowing where you are now??

Damn Detroit weather. It is showing like shit now. I can't even see my car anymore.

Definitely keep the stock rims IF you have summer tires on your new rims. Don't want to drive around with rock hard summer tires in the middle of winter. You'll be sliding around.

I live around 12 Oaks Mall area but work south of Dearborn.

Did you buy your rims from Discount Tire? Where did you buy your car from?

Can you post a head-on picture of your rims? I wanna see what it looks like on stock springs. I'm contemplating to get springs first then rims or the other way around.

Where abouts are you from?

I got the wheels in Bell Tires over in SterlingH. I got the tires there also. These guys were very fast and nice, they didn't have them in stock, so we wait like 2 hours until they brought the wheels from the warehouse.

I bought my car in Suburban Troy, excellent place.
Do you own an a Si?

I live in Royal Oak area Woodwoard ave.:)

White Si. I thought my avatar showing the blinking button was a dead giveaway. :o

I guess the gap isn't too bad. 17" right? Mind telling me how much it set you back? Thanks.

I've seen a black EP usually going east bound on 696 before Telegraph. If you are in Royal Oak, it won't be you then.

in response to MRTEW as to what kinda wheels do i like well how about HRE or mugen or WORKS... i know not everyone is a millionaire like me but come on people these are really nice cars and we have been given a fresh start by honda let try not to rice out this generation like the all the series before! thats all i meant! i dont happen to like the wheels and i DONT like the company! enkie is such a knock off cheap way to get wheels! i mean for what he paid for those in 17s he could have at least gotten a set of ohh i dont know 18" rotas subzeros and they would wiegh less more than likely! I am not hating on any one thats why after it i put but whatever floats your boat... just trying to make people realize that some companies just arent suitable for out cars... sorry to have up set some one... but i kinda knew i was gonna happen....

What are you talking about?? If anything, it is the other way round.

Rotas are knock-off Spoon, Mugen, Prodrive, Racing Hart, Volk rims. What rims are Enkei knockoff off??

Gito, here's a great picture of your car I took with my truck. I lowered it with photoshop for the full effect. They look so cool together I think.

Put them back on.

If you're not going to lower it it will look better stock.
