I've been throwing the idea around of purple wrinkle VC. Got the extra VC so I can do it whenever. And I plan on tucking wires this summer and I'll probably end up repainting the bay this summer too. That or just making it shine like crazy.

Also, I have a question..

Will these lugs fit on the Meshies? If they do then I'm gonna go ahead and get the purple ones.

no. for aftermarket wheels. the seatings on those and oem are different. im confused why your putting money into ls' when you have si's.......sis are way nicer and are oem wheels. so you dont really need to worry about salt and crap. they arent painted

I've always liked ls Meshies more than the Si's. I figured those wouldn't fit...I lost one of my oem lugs for some reason and have a set that went on some steelies but they are longer. So now i have one lug that is longer than the other three lol. I'm trying to find a replacement set to buy but I suppose i'll just buy a single extra one from like autozone or something. I'll probably end up selling my si's once I clean them up.

DIDO!!!!!

trust you look back one day and say "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY why did i get rid of those sweet Si's!!!!!

 

[bassyguitar]

sounds like a good plan.
good luck with the rims

 

[crash!]

Si's are too heavy IMO. And wayyy to common where I live. Get some blades. Those are hard to find.

On the valve cover, I think purple wrinkle plaint would look good or with the black I think a polished valve cover would look really good. I would do it on mine but I think it would look weird with white

Hmmmm.. I have a black ek .. Just might have to do a polished vc!

 

[xXDeathMaliCeXx]

Wow, that polished vc looks crazy lol. I may make one wrinkle purple and one polished btw, anyone know of a place I can get purple wrinkle engine enamel? tried looking it up but I can't find it anywhere

I was thinking the same thing...

 

[xXDeathMaliCeXx]

Aww...maybe I can find a company to powder coat it purple or something.

The Si wheels are heavy? I wouldn't think that compared to the meshies they would make much of a difference.

i missed that. yeah they weigh about the same as ls. and wahts more common, ls integra or em1...

 

[00siboy]

^^Well spoken.

 

[xXDeathMaliCeXx]

Well if I can find the room in my dad's garage then I'll hang on to my Si's until I get sick of them. My aunt's got a set of si's from her 6th gen civic ex. I just feel like around here the meshies are less common than the si's

your aunt put si's on her car? surprising. but eh you might think that, but its because you go by without noticing the ls probably. they are dime a dozen. hence why you can get a set of ls for 2-250 with tires and si's for 350. you could even fine webs in a junkyard probably. but i mean if you prefer them, then go for it.

They actually came stock on my aunt's car lol. Idk how they did, but I can't see her buying different rims for her car.

no they didnt. she either paid lots of extra money for them at the dealer, or a previous owner put them on. they only came on em1s

Oh well, point of the story is I like the Meshies better lol I will have to ask her next time I see her though. I'm interested where they came from.
