JSIR has those on his silver EP. Judging from what I saw in his pics, it looked alright. Looks good on the blue too. I really dislike our stockers :(

I got the wheels for my 02 SiR, but I have to say they look really conservative on our cars. I had the 99 SiR before and I loved the rims on that car, but when I put them on my car they kind of made it look more conservative. The stock wheels seem a bit sportier, ableit still conservative as well. I really like the polished look of those rims compared to our silver look of our stock rims, but the design didn't improve things as much as I had hoped. My other hope was to save weight by going to those rims, but in the end the weight savings didn't seem very large. I still have the rims but they may be sold soon. Too bad as I was really hyped about them.

I'm selling the 99 Si rims, keeping the stock ones for now as they seem just as good. Some aftermarket rims could probably be found that look better than the 99's.

I've never liked the idea of putting previous gen wheels/parts on newer cars. It would be like us doing a GSR swap instead of a Type-S swap.

I still don't understand why my local Honda dealer puts the Si coupe wheels on the new Civic coupes...

To me, the car I posted above is just asking for $hit from coupe Si owners...similar color, same wheels...two of the trademarks from the EM Si.

I've seen about 3 92-95' hatches with OUR wheels on and I have to admit after the initial shock they look pretty good on their cars - I'll try to get a pic next time I see one!

There's a girl on here in members rides who has an EG Civic with our wheels. I've seen our wheels on a 3rd gen prelude and another EG Civic...looked good.
