Finally got my FP wheels mounted to my Yoko AVS ES100's and put em on today. What a difference! I was pleasantly surprised that it rides as smoothly as stock, too. Great freakin' tires!

Those look really good on your car.

Nice to see a good shot of a car with them on. That is what should have come standard!

They're silver, but a bit darker than stock. I may be able to get a couple more sets.

I got them from a local dealer who sold an FP package to someone who already had their own wheels. We're trying to order another set to see if it's possible. I'll keep you updated.

Actually I'm almost positive the 17" version of those FP wheels ARE the CTR wheels (but in 5 lug).

they're 16 x 6.5". They came with an OEM type door jamb sticker that has the sizes, inflation and load ratings. I got them for $250 each.

very nice. i like them.
can you get some close up pic of your rims?

Steve02Si
05-12-2003, 07:05 AM
No problem, I'll get some more shots when it's nicer out and the car's clean. It was overcast yesterday so I didn't bother. I wouldnt mind like a 1" drop, i'm not into the slammed look, but I can't sacrifice ride quality since I drive over 25k a year for work and I'm in NYC and DC alot on some horrible roads.

I don't know why someone moved this thread! This was my first post with pics of my car, so I put it in "Member's Rides". Sorry if I didn't put the correct subject, but still...

nice!

How do you like the ES100s? What size did you get them in? How is the road noise?

Steve02Si
05-12-2003, 10:48 AM
205/50 16s, I love the tires. they handle awesome, ride as nice as stock, are quiet on the highway, and treadwear is nearly as high as stock. only bad thing is that wheel hop is worse, which is to be expected with a grippier tire. I'll be getting the engine damper real soon now!

yep, they're from the Factory Performance package for the Civic coupe. Thank Honda for making a wheel that looks so good on our cars and then offering it only to the coupe guys!

One of the dealers I have talked to mentioned that the wheels will probably be available as an optional Honda rim, at the dealers, late in the fall of this year... hopefully. At least with the introduction of the new cars.

Love the look, minus the gap, I think I will get the Eibach Pro-Kit when I do it...

Wouldn't the Accord and TSX models have the 5 bolt hubs?

Yes, the Accord and TSX are 5 lug.
