I was about to give you a lecture about not going into debt, especially while the economy is bad... then I saw the rims.. It was worth it. haha

However, I'm not sure they will look great on a NHBP car (according to avatar).

yes i was also weary about the look. but balistek made a quick photoshop for me. Since these wheels will pretty much complete my CTR look for the outside appearence of the car. According to balisteks shop it wont look to bad at all

what size tires do u guys think i should get for this? 205 or 215? im only on the eibach pro kit. i dont want a huge wheel gap but dont want the car raised off the ground. u think 215/45 would be a good size?

gotta pay to play. I would only have gotten these or a set of the mugen wheels found on the new mugen SI. and i was happy with 1200 instead of 3k. its sad that i waste all my money on makin my stock car look like another stock car. but whatta gona do. being JDM=broke. and for the record 1,148.

I hate to be broken record guy, but I'm with Windchaser & Heitzke on the "too much for OEM wheels" tip.

But hey, if you're happy, then by all means.

By the way, 215-45-17 keeps the proper aspect ratio.

Yup, I have mine for almost 3 years now. I got for a good price on ebay, and the seller is a member here. ($800 shipped w/ yokohama tires)

Hey, they may be OEM but they will look incredible on the black EP3. IMHO I think it'll look even better than on a white EP.

Also you can sell your stockies and earn back a dime. Plus it will prob be easy to sell the type r's again when the time comes, so you'll get some money back.

PICS WHEN YOU CAN!

I thought so. They were the best "jack of all trades" tires I'd used before I got the RS2s (have I told you how much I love these tires?).

That the Generals are half the price of the Hankooks, though, is a huge selling point.
