Finger is on the buy button.

Gonna get these

However I have a few questions before I buy them.

1) Has anyone heard of this place or done business with them? Basically are they legit? https://www.tiresbyweb.com Looking at $1,095.96 shipped.

2) Can I get any money for my stock si rims? How much and where to sell?

3) Those rims are gonna look sick on NBP right? Rhetorical question, of course they are.

1. no never heard of them.
2. Some have gotten 350-400 for their stock Si wheels
3. What size? I think they will look great on a NHBP.

Oh is it NHBP? I was never good at acronyms, haha.

17x8 is the size.

Guess I'll risk buying from them. Can always stop the charges on my credit card if they are flakes.

NBP or NHBP can be both and mean the same. good luck, but you may want to try discounttiredirect.com or tirerack.com for tire prices.

Tirerack was the first place I checked. $18 more each plus they charge shipping. I'll check the other place. Cheers!

Crap, now you (Ed06) got me worried about buying from them.

I'm in FL. I'd definitely ship them if necessary because I have no room to keep them in my house.

I'd choose something else to do with the thousand dollars. Roll incognito and keep your stock rims. If you really want to make a difference in the car the $ could be better spent on suspension and brakes.

Haha, you sound like my girlfriend, well she doesn't think I should spend any money on my car. I think she wants me to spend it on her, haha.

I plan on getting the HFP suspension and HFP brakes (when they come out) but not until my original parts wear out. Might as well get my money out of them.

I just really love these rims.

Well I wouldn't spend it on her. Unless she is disabled then she is just as able to go out and make her own $ for what she wants as anyone else rather than try to hustle her man into buying her shit.

I see no point in purchasing rims that will just make your car a bigger target for thieves and vandals. If you were trying to reduce unsprung weight for trackdays then I'd understand. But it's just cosmetic and for looks and you can't see your rims when you are driving it. So yeah I agree with your g/f on this. Save your $ for something else. Buy some Honda stock with it. :)

LMAO! "you can't see your rims when you are driving it" is exactly what my roommate said to me a few minutes ago.

Crap, I really should think about this over the weekend but I'm stuck at work and I can't stay away from the shopping cart. The shiny rims keep calling me.
