nope, people who run 16 inch wheels count as "poor", not "jdm"

and considering my car has 2 japanese aftermarket parts on it (shift knob and wheels) i dont think its very jdm. i have way more nascar stuff on it than japanese parts. most japanese brand parts are retarded and cost too much(reference - 100 dollars for a thermostat? 30 dollars for a radiator cap?)

still not getting the back to the future thing... i wish i had gull wing doors though....

In Back to the Future the Time Travelling deLorean had its time circuits powered by Plutonium. Later replaced by the trash fueled Mr. Fusion.

I'm pretty certain that mercer knows what back to the future is about.

So back in the 90's 240's were running around with FN's?

Depends on who makes the wheels, of course.

Charlie, I dig it.

Unfortunately, some people think that just because something doesn't look EXACTLY the way they would do it, it's automatically "trash".

For whoever made the retarded "16's are for poor people" comment, that's friggin stupid. Ever been to an auto-X? Not a whole lot of people running 17-19's there. They DRIVE their cars. Hard.

SO 16" Works are trash, but no one talks smack about my 17" Works. Interesting.

Opinions are like a-holes, and some of the ones in this thread smell pretty similar.

Again - Charlie, the car looks SICK. Keep it up brotha.

LOL AZ he is the one who said 16's are for poor people...

And we said the trashy looking part was riveted flairs that are wrinkled, and bumper/body gaps that are different sizes for every side of the car...

I was personally thinking of going with the 17" Motegi Traklites. 14-14.5lbs (depends on width). I would go with 16", but Motegi doesn't make the Traklites in 16".

In any case, it doesn't matter. I want the Traklites but don't have the cash for them just now.

Ah, I see.

There was so much opinionated blather going on, I couldn't figure out who said what.

Still, I think it looks cool. +1 for NOT molding in the flares.

I like my 16" Enkei's, cheap though they are, they are track wheels, and bigger then 16" on a Civic is just retarded, sort of like the Civic in the first place.

No one talks trash because you're the shiznit up in here, and prolly cause your 17" Works are gorgeous!

Hahaha lawl... Charlie posts his car on NICO, instantly the conservatives (basically like the whole site) jump on his *** about every little thing. WTF, bashing somebody for having a colorful piece of paper to remind him to do a safety check?!?

Looks great man, no new pics tho... no...wait thats probably cuz I'm posting in an old thread...

Haha forget the fools bashin' your car, they're trippin'...

love the mirrors and what you have done under the hood, but i have to say i hate the flares, the body kit, and the driver seat, overall it looks like you did a very good job, keep us posted.
