The wheels for my SI came in today...

Hondahawaii777 · 01-19-2007, 02:17 AM

Bronze, 17 x 7.5, Volk Racing TE-37s and BF Goodrich G-Force Sport (75% tread life) shipped to me for a total of $1277

These are only 2 of them (the other 2 are in the closet), cant wait to get them on my SI. I am waiting for my springs to get here and they will be on NLT next week. :thumbsup:

This is what I want my car to look like, the SKUNK 2 SiR.

Thanks :) Looks like the springs are on backorder, they wont get here until later in the week. I will be putting the wheels on this weekend though

shahbazi · 01-19-2007, 12:41 PM

missy867 · 01-19-2007, 12:46 PM

nice wheels

Why do they say 5x100 on the back of the rim? I hope you got the right lug pattern. I would check mine, but they are tucked safely away in my closet.

Haha yea, I wasn't gonna start with the curbing, but they do look kinda rashy. I bought Mike's bronze TEs and they are in prestine condition....I'm afraid to put them on now...

Oddly, the Gram Lights I just bought say the same thing along the outside rim. It freaked me out at first, but I grabbed some calipers and measured... sure enough, 4.5", so they were fine. Every example of a 57f I've seen so far says 5x100, regardless of the actual spacing.

So I think it will be fine. Just a funny quirk from Rays Engineering.

Usui · 01-19-2007, 01:45 PM

um... what's the hold up. Put them on and take some pics. I hope you have a blue civic. Blue and bronze looks really sharp.

P4rD0nM3 · 01-19-2007, 02:24 PM

Eh your car will never look like the Skunk Civic if you don't get coil overs and if you don't want to remove and cut stuff. It doesn't have any fender gap at all at the back. No one here has done that yet. Mine might be lower than most Civics here but not that low.

i hope they fit beucase i dont think the civics bolt pattern is 5X100

06Fg2 · 01-19-2007, 02:44 PM

Ok guys, I just checked my TEs and they say 5x100 also and I KNOW mine fit, so these are the correct offset. Go put them on your car already man.

Yeah man, I already got that information from clubrsx. Its something that RAYS does, not sure why. The wheels came off a car that was 5 x 114.3....it just says 5 x 100....already test fit and they work...weird
