Nice car man. Looks good.

But your pics are way to big. I have DSL and I'm having trouble.
Good luck to the other guys on here.

Man you've gotta shrink those down somehow.
Car looks AMAZING though. Those wheels suit the car and colour nicely. BTW I'm just waiting to put my Injen CAI on too.
Nice work!

Wow, I always like 18"s, have you had problems with 18"? Taller gearing, harsh ride, and such?

Sweet ride man. Love the wheels they fit well with the silver. It's nice to see another oregon person on the boards too.

Thanks for the positive comments. To answer a couple of questions...I have not had any problems with the skunk2 coil overs. However, I did recieve the wrong kit. I got the kit for the 01+ Civic Coupe. I called Ckuck at Showstoppers and he took care of everything. Should be fixed by next week. A for the ride, it's not too bad considering i have 18's with a 35 series sidewall. It corners like a champ though.

Lookin good! I don't like the look of 35 series rubber though...40 with less of a drop would be much more attractive.

DAYUM !!!!!! :p :p :p :p Your car is the cleanest silver EP I've seen. I love the way that your headlights and grill match your rims. What colour did you use to paint the headlights? Gloss black, flat black, gunmetal? Damn I still can't get over how great your car looks.

Have you had any problems wit your 18", ex Rubbing.
I want to get 18's on my car but am afraid of them rubbing.

Again, thank you for all of the positive comments on the car.

03hatch: as for the rims, yes they are 18 x 7.5 (215/35/18 tires)

KickerSi: I used a flat black paint for the headlights. Its a lot easier then you think to do the headlights.

dannysi: I have had no problems at all with any rubbing. Before I bought the wheels I had the shop do a test fit with a 225/40/18 which is a lot bigger then what i have now. The only way you'll run into having a rubbing problem would be if you installed a camber kit, had the car slammed, had four people in the car, and took a corner really sharp.

I hope I answered everyones questions. Feel free to give me any suggestions for what else I should do to my car.

Thanks,
-Mike

holy bling bling batman.. those are seriously huge wheels.. hope you don't hit any potholes. How's it drive?

Looks nice, though.. I like the color. Love the headlights.

those wheels, though.. ouch.. any idea on weight? 35lb wheels, right?

it drives pretty good. The only thing I really notice is the road noise when I'm on the freeway. Thats about it. I'm not really sure about the weight. I don't have an actual number but i held one in each arm to see the difference and its barely heavier then the stock wheel. I know this doesn't help but thats all the info. I can give.
