OMG, bro! How close do you want them to be? Stock CiViC pedals are one of the best heel/toe setups made. It's almost impossible to get your toe caught under a Honda CiViC brake pedal.

Be that as it may, IMO there is only one pedal set worth owning; the MOMO Super Turisimo. They're 40-55 bones, require some drilling, and come in red/blue/yellow/black accented aluminum or just plain cast. If you can't heel/toe with these beauties you might as well hang it up.

If that's too rich for your blood, Sparco makes a couple of V decent pedal sets. Sparco Carbons or Sparco Casts will do the trick. They're used by several top touring teams. They'll set you back 30-40 bones, depending on which model you buy. They require drilling and come in colors too.

Personally, I'd go the MOMO route. They'll both work for you, but there's no snob appeal with the Sparcos, you know?

Here's the URL for Euro Sport's MOMO pedal page (pics):

Here's the URL for Rod Millen's Sparco page (no pics). They sell matching 'dead pedals' too:

I'd find some Sparco pics, but I don't wanna. I'm an "ass", remember...
