Well me and my friend dan (who has a nice GSR) decided to trade wheels for a little while for the hell of it. I love the look of the fat fives on my civic, and the motegi's look decent on his car. Here's some pics, but i don't have any of his car...

They're nice cause they're lighter than the motegi's and still give decent grip. They feel a little softer in the corners but are still very nice. I wanna see if i can talk him into a direct swap since these usually sell for the same price as my motegi's and we both have the exact same tires, both new as well.

IALuder · 09-09-2005, 08:41 PM

nice, i like those more.

JDMFantasy2k · 09-10-2005, 02:01 PM

yeah me too. I had originally wanted to get Si wheels (to essentially convert my car to an Si). But i haven't seen many EK's with GSR wheels and i think it's classy.

IALuder · 09-10-2005, 02:53 PM

yea, stock honda rims arent that bad of a choice.

*pdiggitydogg* · 09-10-2005, 02:55 PM

FF's are nice, but I like the blades better

Mischief · 09-10-2005, 03:34 PM

IMO that looks better than the fat fives look on Integras..

AkimboStylee · 09-10-2005, 10:23 PM

im getting a set of the integra mesh wheels(don't know which car they come from, i think it is the ls, but im not sure) cause my friend just put them next to my car and it looks hot, of course once i get the car running again. :(

Mischief · 09-11-2005, 04:15 PM

I think I have the mesh wheels on mine..

same wheels as these except mine are alot dirtier

*pdiggitydogg* · 09-11-2005, 04:31 PM

I like the meshies best of all

AkimboStylee · 09-11-2005, 10:32 PM

are those meshies? if so thats them, if not, thats them!!! they look amazing on an ef hatch!

dabouncerx24 · 09-12-2005, 01:06 AM

Yea those are the mesh.....I don't like them

. The 99-00 SI rims are still the best Honda rims IMO.

a96710 · 09-12-2005, 02:25 AM

I like the 99-00 SI rims as well

JDMFantasy2k · 09-12-2005, 09:07 AM

yeah i had originally wanted to get 99-00 Si rims, but i'm really liking the fat fives. I think i'm just not going to trade back with my friend

ShEaNy · 09-16-2005, 01:19 PM

FF's look good on the civic...

JDMFantasy2k · 09-16-2005, 04:19 PM

i had to swap back

although i must say, the motegi's do handle much better, and now that i have the turbo running nicely, i really don't notice the extra weight.

*KwikR6* · 09-16-2005, 10:38 PM

Blades are the best.

CD5Passion · 09-17-2005, 02:19 AM

will you got a sleeper than bro....well...hide the intercooler and then you got a sleeper

JDMFantasy2k · 09-17-2005, 12:48 PM

i know, everyone is telling me to cover it up, but i love showing it off

besides if i shift over 3200 rpm you're going to hear the BOV anyway, plus it's not incredibly hard to see my gauge pod. But i'm sure i can still fuck with some ricers

paint it black

that seems to work fairly well at tricking people

I heard painting it black is bad for the intercooler.. I'd just buy a black one and then get some cheap ass mesh to throw in front of it.. and then buy some civic hubcaps and don't wash it for like a week or two..

You heard? Or your know?

Paiting it bad why? It would still cool...paint isn't that thick..i don't foresee a promlem.

I wouldn't do it. While paint isn't terribly thick, it can't be good for heat transfer (unless you used something like engine block paint...which would just look shitty). Any quality paint would be thick enough that it could conceivably mess with the IC's cooling abilities.

exactly my thoughts

But my car wasn't really designed to be a total sleeper, and i don't care if it isn't. I'll just have to give it enough balls to back itself up eventually

well they make radiator/intercooler paint guys come on now
