Gold spike lug nut w/ motegi 17" Rim off my wrecked 8th gen transferred to my 10th gen

[Llamasloth007]

I wrecked my 09 8th gen. Kept the rims. Figured I would transfer them over. They are 17" and I think I'm gonna have to go one size up to 18 (they seen just a little small). But they were just collecting Dust in my garage. And it's spring. So, on they go. What do you guys think?

tires look a little small.. is it 215/45? i think stock size for the 10th gens with 17s is 215/50. I think if i end up going with aftermarket wheels i'm going to get 18s

not digging it myself

might be the lug nuts

 

[Llamasloth007]

Yea they are 215/45. Like I said they were off my 8th gen. Figured I would put them on and see how they look. Lugs I wanted to see how they look for when I get the rims j actually want lol. Might rock this look for a week and figure it my next move lol

Wow, definitely unique. First reaction was that this was something from Speed Racer or one of those where you use those studs to damage the car's tires beside you

Definitely get a "mad max" vibe from people. Looks better in person. Those are a bad angle. But I'm gonna take em off and sell em. Just not the right size for the bigger wheel wells these civics have. Thanks for the feedback.

Those lugs are certainly not something I would put on my car. What is the purpose?

It's a certain look I'm going for. Just trying out the lug nuts. And had old rims laying around. I want to do gold rims and gold lug nuts. Like this.

Man all you guys hating! Haha yea I felt the same way. Already got em off. Def need to lower and get 18's minimum. Haven't seen anyplace that offers coilovers yet. And I want avant garde rimssss buuutt those are mighty pricey lol

Looks like the evil chariot wheels from Ben Hur, lol (movie from the late 50's starring Charlton Heston for you youngens)

Aren't lug nuts that extend beyond the wheel illegal in quite a few states?

No idea. But that doesn't make sense to me. Look at diesel trucks. Their front tires are convex. And they sell spikey lug nuts for them.
