So i picked up some brand new xxr 501's 16x8 +15 wrapped in some 205/55r16.... for a steal price :woot:

I just put them on today and got rid of the horrible 17x7 +42 i had on them, i need to majorly adjust my ride height (made easy with my tein coils), and roll all 4, and maybe pull the fronts... i think its looking sexy though... :naughty:

I saw a civic with those on it...

I think the bright ring around the spokes is too big. Not bad though, just not my tea.

I was just saying I've seen them before. I'm not saying they're made for civics or something. I'm not talking about the lip, I'm talking about the polished part of the wheel inside of the lip, where it has that pseudo 2-piece look going on.

i like the meaty looking tire on s13's, i think that 16" wheel and a meaty tire goes with the flow, im not a fan of any bigger on a s13, 17"-18" belong on s14/15's...imo

Meh they are XXR's too many people even the Honda kits are rocking them. Lower the car, and get a smaller aspect ratio on her.
