Si Wheels on EX FG1

So I bought some Si wheels off a fellow member and they arrived yesterday.
You could say this is my first real mod to check off my list :)

here's a couple quick pics :)

I like it as long as you don't put SI badges.

^haha, i think we all had a nice looooong discussion about that yesterday.

Do you have any problems with caliper clearance? I keep hearing about spacers for those wheels on the fg1.

omg what's with all the fg1's with Si parts.

Another reason why honda should have made the Si coupe/sedans completely different exterior wise.

yes I did use 3mm spacers for the front to get the clearance needed.

No I won't be putting on any Si badges or stickers, don't worry.
I chose these because I thought they accented the car a lot better than the stock 16s. I'm sorry if you don't like it, I'm not trying to offend any Si owners, Just trying to make my car better for myself.

which is what matters, right?

You sir, are a tool. An Si isn't gods gift to man. It's a different trim level of the 8th generation civic. Get over yourself and your slow 4-banger.

thanks for the positive comments guys, i thought it really did clean up the look of the car, and itll look even better with a subtle drop like the hfp kit that I plan to get soon.

( along with some yellow fogs )
