Upgraded to aftermarket 17 inch wheels:

MB wheels
Model MB-14
17x7 offset +38
5-114.3 bolt pattern
Goodyear Assurance Tires (215/50/17)

Kept the wheel/tire overall diameter and circumference as close as possible to stock.

Good choice on the 17s That size is perfect for a Civic needing performance and a good ride quality.. I would have paid a little xtra though and put on tires with a rim lip to protect against curbing. Those wheels look just SICK.. You're makin me want to buy a base Civic... ahhhh I have to wait for the Si... ;)

I plan on keeping it away from curbs, it's parked in my garage at home and in the parking lot at whatever place I'm working at on any given day.

:love: :thumbsup:

Does the car perform differently on the new Goodyear tires?
The ride is actually a little quieter than the stock tires, as for the twisty windy performance, I have to take it on Redwood road between the Oakland hills and Moraga to test that.

The stock set up was fun on that road, I do not expect any worse performance, probably better since a little less sidewall to flex.

Ride comfort is nice on the Goodyears. :thumbsup:


Now my only issue is that the silver calipers really stick out, so it's time for some black caliper paint!

Damn it, one thing always leads to another......

Yes they are, I haven't had time to put them on Craigslist yet, but I am planning on it, probably as soon as I get back from So cal next week.

Road trip to Anaheim and Van Nuys for work Monday, will be nice to run down I-5 and see how she feels, I should be able to do the run on 1 tank of gas, it's about 400 miles from my house to Anaheim.

Hey, fellow Angeleno... I'd like to make an offer on those... But first I need to buy my LX!

I come down to So cal twice a year can't guarantee I will still have them next time I come down.

Get your LX this weekend!!

I can bring the wheels with me. :)

Black will always be black... Silver Rims would look better because of contrast with black...
Black on black can look good too, like it does here. I find that black wheels look better in person compared to photos since you can see more detail in person.

Pictures do not bring out the full effect.
