18 " Enkei RS7 and KUMHO's ECSTA SPT (PICS INSIDE NOW)

I just ordered 18 " Enkei RS7 wrapped in KUMHO's ECSTA SPT 255/40 along with TEIN S-Tech 1.4” drop springs, I will have the Rims, Tiers and Springs installed on Friday. I’ll bring my Dig Cam when I go to pick it up. I can’t wait to see how she looks after the makeover. Here are some pictures of the rims and tiers that I bought. I’ll have pictures of my Civic SI – NBP with the new look posted Friday.

Nice wheels. They will look good with NBP.

Rims look great, is the car lowered yet? It doesn't look like it in the pictures but I could be wrong.

Your wheel diameter's going to be different with those new tires. Doesn't look like they'll fit with those lowering springs either.

No the springs didn’t come in yet , I should have it lowered this weekend. I’ll post more pics when they install the springs. The springs will work… they installed the same size tires on a Civic Si last week and springs with no issue, they even said I could go lower than 1.4” if I wanted to.

Thanks guys for the good feed back, I’m glad I picked those rims I was going with the Enkei PKR (Black) but I think the RS7 (Gunmetal) was a better choice. I’ll post some better photos once she gets lowered.

FYI. The stock Si rims wont fit on a RSX my buddy has a RSX non Type S and we tried to fit my old rims on his car and the rims hit the brake calipers.
