sexy car man diggin the wheels !!!

Thanks! They're a tribute to the first ever EP3 I saw. It was NHBP with white rims. Only saw it once, and the memory of it has faded. I can only remember that it was NHBP with white rims. Gave me my motivation to buy an EP3.

looks good, ur next mod should be a wing, id say Mugen

Yeap! I've been looking for a used CF one for months now! I really dont want to cash out on a new CF mugen one. I'm moving out and moving in a different apartment, plus got shit ton of bills to pay for. Bartending has been a little slow lately, so not that much dough comin in to support my lifestyle. Time to start hustlin!

Everything looks sick dude!! Just got my EP3 and I noticed your got a 5 lug setup - do you know if the 04/05 was 5 lug and teh 02/03 was 4 lug? I got an 03 and its a 4 lug. I'm absolutely in LOVE with your RSX wheels!! Did you buy them new?

I just bought those same Depos you got from Moonsi, and I put on an Ingalls rear camber kit - other than that I'm not doing anything til the spring, winters coming up here. How low are your springs? You may want to get a camber kit. Mine came with 1.5" drop and the dude had horrible wear on the rear tires from being lowered.

Yeah the 02-03 Are four lugged. They also have different headlights and rear tail lights. Some other minor differences between the two. I did not buy them new. I bought the RSX wheels used, cleaned them up, then powder coated them. I'm on about a 1.5" too. Fortunately for me, my camber isnt really that bad. I have really good alignment, and the camber isnt too bad. Only really noticeable on the rear. But my tires are pretty thick. I think im running 225/50/16 tires. I get very little to no inner tire wear. I'm not concerned about getting a camber kit just yet, not until I decide to run coilovers to adjust for shows.

Little car wash with my brother's DC5.

[mitchlikesbikes]

so you're running 225s on the base rsx wheels? those are only 6.5 wide right? i wanna run the same tire specs on my 1st gen DC5 wheels when i get new tires, your fitment looks gooooood.

Yeap and yup. I really like it too. I'm only dropped 1"-1.5" but I dont scrape. Except for my passenger side when I hit harder bumpers. But thats because my fender liner is falling off, not because tire width or how low I am.

Haha! It's fake by the way. But like I said, I dont mind. I PM'd you about the wheel. And thanks. When I first started building, I was going to do Type R, but the CTR wheels ~were~ too pricey for me, and the base rsx wheels were the closest I could get. I still like the look of the base rsx rims, but i need something with a big name to it ya know?

I have 3 jobs.

I bartend at a regular sports bar making about $20/hr.
Also bartend at a real sports bar making about $500 every Friday.
Also bartend at a night club making about $1000/month (Only work about once a month)

So I do well for myself. Most of the money goes to my girlfriend and bills, which are the same thing pretty much.. HAHA!
But my new years resolution is to spend money, and that's what I'm gonna do.
