| Hi all, Just posting a few pictures of the new wheels. I've not had a chance to get new caps and lug nutes yet but they are on the way. Ideally I wanted to post pictures once she was lowered some more and de-spoilered, hence why only you guys will see these pictures as I'm not posting anywhere else. Thanks for looking.... Rich Rich

| Yes mate I've already said I'll be on the stand The Civic should be looking a lot better by then. The wheels dont give the look I want them to at the moment. Once I have done a few more things they should be spot on. I can see it in my head (like the blue hatch), so have faith lol. Rich | |

| Decked with smooth lines is what I'm aiming for. However I can only go so much ower with the wheels I have. About 15 to 20mm MAX!! A few pictures of the rears and arches.... As you can see, unless I flare my arches slightly, I dont have much in the way of room to play with. Rich | |

| Compomotive TH-Mono's. I don't want too much camber incase of bad wear on the tires, but I think with solid coilovers I could take the car lower.

| WOW! looks fresh, love the murdered out look, what are the wheel tyre specs, thats a nice stretch there, not too obscene. Shit iv got peopel cueing up for shops, il do one of it slammed and de spoilered for you later tonight, im technically at work atm tho. I think it will look way better with a TOA sticker gracing the windscreen | |

| Hi guys, sorry about the late reply. Drill night at the station.....
The tires are 195-45-15's on 8" rims. The stretch looks just right on these wheels IMO. The wheels themselves are TH-Mono's (Compomotive). I wanted banded steel wheels, but after reading about them and a load of legal crap I just thought it best to go with something like these.
Ezza I have now been swayed into getting it lowered even further. Plus seeing it with coloured wheel nuts has inspired me.
Thanks guys.

| alot of places are a bit gay about it, iv asked around.
I asked at this place tho, they said they would do stretch if i signed something to give me all liability. worth a try, there down the road from me.
I cant remember the name but i can remember the number cus its one digit different from my house number lol.
