CHILD'S *EK* ... finally i have an EK

[ReedMann]

Definitely get some CE28's! Bronze ones would look amazing on your car. Haha I've always wanted bronze Volks for mine

5 lug thug would be chill. But honestly is it even worth it just for some damn wheels. Granted there are more options in 5 lug....but its unnecessary, you have a child and a kswap on their way! focus lol

In the mean time i love my 205/45/16 setup! I dig my height, no rubs, and tucking tire! :p

Yokohama S. Drives FTW!!!

If u like BFG u can pick up some G-Force sport comp 2's. I had a full set and loved th. they handled really well. Only problem
Is they were getting low and I picked up a Fatty nail and blew one 2 hours before I had to go to work, so I just called all the neared tire shops and got a pair of whatever they had in my size but next time I buy all new tires I'm probably getting those again. Even handled ok in the rain.

I would love to have a set. I think i'm going to run into the 4 lug issue with wheels in 16" =( I really don't want to have to spend on a damn 5 lug conversion.

is it the 4x100 thats an issue or just 4 lug in all?

all of the eg/dc steering racks are quicker than the 6th gen civics so I don't think I'll g get too picky on which rack I'll get.

And i've been considering having the intake manifold polished....we'll see. If I knock out a couple more photoshoots I'll probably do it.

i say the GSR rack, because its quick ratio AND it uses two lines, which are easy to loop.
the EG racks are decent, but have 3 lines and are a pain to loop (i know from experience)

16 on ek's for the win!!

It's the 4 lug. All the wheels I like are 5 lug or unreasonably rare (thus overpriced) in a 4x100

the EG racks are decent, but have 3 lines and are a pain to loop (i know from experience)

I'd rather not loop anything and use a non power steering rack from a eg or dc. They are quicker ratios than mine currently so I have no need for the tightest lock to lock rack in a shorter wheelbase car.

Any updates lately?

 

[CHILD]

No. not sure what I want to do next anyway

 

[Logan98036wa]

I like how your car looks on 15s way more classy than 16s

 

[CHILD]

i might stick it out with 15's for awhile. I think boredom got to me lol

 

[jdmstyleEJ8]

Get that K swap parts list bought!

 

[12.8:1 Ls/vtec]

ITR 5 lug. That way you can use rsx-s axles with the 36mm hub that the itr axles have. Plus bigger brakes and more brake/wheel options.

 

[JustJustin]

Boredom is getting to you. Focus on the k-swap! I love how your wheels look. 15's are the best IMO if you can pull them off right, and you do sir.
