thanks man, well the car came with 17inch wheels when i bought it as the guy didn't have the standard wheels he gave them to his mate when he bought his 17 inch wheels for the car.

so after a few weeks i decided i want oem honda so i bought the vti wheels from a civic hatchback and painted them white (maybe see it in some of the pics i'll post more if i can find some)

but the real truth is for the past....hmm let's say 4-5 months i've been on the lookout for civic vti/si Em1 wheels.

god it's been a nightmare finding a set in the uk for sale, they are like extremely rare to pop up for sale, problem is that all the hatchback owners buy them aswell so they go for alot of money.

i managed to get a set by chance sending a pm to a guy on a forum when he posted his pictures of his new wheels on his em1 so i said look i'll make you this offer for you're em1 wheels at this good price and he couldn't refuse.

here's a pic after the wheels got about an hours worth of cleaning only to find that i had no tyre black shine left :(

your wheels don't look to bad, but it will look much better with si's imo. Sell me your painted grill! =)

don't change it. Your car is the only one I've ever seen that I thought the stock grille looked better on.

yeh recaro's are awesome!! the car's still on stock/standard suspension set up just now. i'm trying to save moeny for coilovers.
i have 40mm lowering pi performance springs sitting in my garage, i still need to fit them as the car's ride height really sucks just now.
