Photoshop 6 (Images swiped from TireRack (http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?&autoMake=Honda&autoModel=Civic+Si+Hatchback&autoYear=2002) ), and Flash 5 on a Macintosh.

I'd like to do wheels, but there's soooo many. But TireRack (http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?&autoMake=Honda&autoModel=Civic+Si+Hatchback&autoYear=2002) does an OK job with thier selection.

Sweet! F**K lowering the car. Im gonna get a LIFT KIT!


But on the serious side here. Is the model actually accurate on the drop? For instance, Is the 2" drop giving an accurate scale drop?

Real-world measurements show about a 3" drop would put the top of the wheel at the lip of the fender (give or take a quarter).

Seeing its such a small scale, the accuracy is just approximate, but it should be close enough to give you a good idea if you would prefer a little tweak or a full slam.

Personally, I'm going with a 1 - 1.5" drop, as that evens out the wheel gap nicely, and about 75% tint suits my tastes on a silver EP.

2" should be somewhere in between even gap and no gap on the top.

If I were to put a modest catalog of wheels on the twiddler, what would you suggest as a few realistic choices for people to look at. I mean something people would really consider.

So far, I think:
ROTA Slipstreams (16's in all colors) <-- very popular
Honda FP 16's <-- On lots of wish lists

Any others?

SSR's (the popular models)
OZ's
BBS
Centerline's (Excel and the other one.)

Those are my choices.

I just saw that, good work, I was at a spot on the web where
they had a pic of the EP AND you could switch out the tires/rims setup. Will try to find it again. Nice work.;)

Maybe it was here (http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?&autoMake=Honda&autoModel=Civic+Si+Hatchback&autoYear=2002). That's where I got the images, and you can change out the rims there, but its clunky, and some of the more popular rims arent there.
