Some new shoe on my EM1

[spoon egg]

Do all cars in south central kansas have wheels like this? those are fugly.. Should of kept those SportMaxes 501. On a lighter note, the color on the new rims isn't bad, would probably look better if a 350z had the same style wheels.

i think that wheels will look good on a silvia 240sx....

 

[SoJ1Ro]

hey dude theres a big yellow spider on your rims

 

[oc_civic]

as far as looks go.. pretty bad.. from a technical standpoint what stops the tire from ripping the fender off when you make turns.. looks really bad..

i like the wheels man just not sure they belong on the car. but its all what you want

Dear god that looks horrible.

That's what I was thinking.

needs oem em1 lip and oem si wheels. then you'd be set.

 

[jeders]

the side view of the gold rims looks ok. but other angles looks crazy weird.

i really like the first rims though. it looks sick dumped like that.

 

[Noodler]

good idea, but just a little bit poorly executed. little less on the concave wouldve made it look nice. I like it, but i'd prefer it a little less

there are SO many things wrong in this picture i do not even know where to begin...

 

[nicoyita1]

^^^ I'll start.

1.) To begin, it's parked on the street. Only takes 8 seconds to snatch a car (if that).
Chances are, if you keep parking it on the street like that, we're gonna be seeing a "stolen em1" thread soon
-I certainly hope you don't make a habit of that.
2.) Needs the si lip.

3.) idk, OC add to this if you'd like......

i would focus more on the facts like..

maybe %10 of the tires ENTIRE contact patch is even touching the ground...
the car is so goofy low that it is probably putting a HUGE strain on the rest of the STOCK suspension parts...
that kind of camber is going to eat those tires raw in a matter of months...
the edge of the fenders hangs a fraction of an inch from the tire...

having your car this low doesnt look cool.. it looks f**king stupid.. and is OBVIOUSLY not functional...

the car is likely not very safe..

i like the sportmaxx's better but you do what you like... and damn he just asked what you thought about the wheels lol not the rest. I mean im pretty sure he knows whats going to happen with camber like that and the car riding that low.

 

[DarkCreep]

Please do ClubCivic and the rest of the internet a favor and never post your car again.

my post was an effort to HELP him.. ideally before he has a problem OR before his unsafe vehicle causes someone else a problem.. and its not even about being a wheel snob.. i rode rotas for YEARS.. if he likes the wheels.. go for it.. ride them forever.. none of my business.. but at least drive the car at some reasonable height..

the wheels look like spiders from the front lol
