Remember when the Gram Lights 57fs went on clearance a couple years ago for 150-200/rim? Looks like the same thing is going on with Forged Mugen 18s today.

Group buy here:http://www.8thcivic.com/forums...23682

******Details:18" MUGEN GP Alloy Wheel Kit

Specifications: Designed and tested for 2006-2007 Civic Si 2dr & 4dr, Rim Size 18x7.5J, Offset 48, Bolt Hole 114.3 (5 hole), Recommended Tire Size 215/40ZR18 85W, Recommended Tire Pressure 36PSI, Weight 16.5 lbs each (out of box). Want to use these with TPMS? Check the forums. There are guys running these with sensors.

Kit comes with the following: 4 forged aluminum wheels, 4 center caps, 4 tire valves, Tire pressure place card, Lug nut holder caution label, Spare tire warning label, Lug nut holder, and 20 Mugen lug nuts. ******

I would totally jump on a set of these for my Altima but the transmission is acting up again (three weeks after replacement) and I think I'm going to lemon law this biatch. Yeah yeah it's a Honda tuner company but for an $800 set of 17lb 18"s, I could deal with the ricer Kanji centercaps!

Because some people care more about performance than looks, and physics doesn't care whether Mugen or Nismo made your wheels.

If it helps, you could buy some nismo stickers/centercaps to further improve the performance of those 17lb rims.
