Don't go there

because its $263 RRP

total for 4 is $1052

I only saved $2 from RRP lol



Yeah I'll take some pics when my car is completely done :D

Gona get an exhaust put on after the panel shop :D


Damn you Tien! (in a good way)

I think I'll get the same rims but 16x7. I own a NB8B which currently has stock rims 16x6.5. I've read all the threads about going to 17's and I like the handling I currently have.

So imagine this: Sunlight Silver mx5, metallic black hardtop, darkest legal tint, gun metallic Buddy Club SF's = hot?

Not a mx5 but shows how good the rim looks :D

Now for the fun part.

I've heard that 16 inch tyres are rare and cost more than 17's. Is this true? You'd like to think that money doesn't come into play but it does :(

Also I am in urgent need of new rims and tyres. My car is a 2001 model but still has the original factory tyres :shock: <- hazard

Oh side note. I've spent about 1400 to get the hardtop shipped to Perth. $600-700 to get the hardtop re-sprayed properly :(

Its a Honda piss it off lol

Leave the hardtop black for the time being it still suits as the soft top was black

Heres some sneaky pics lol

To loose a bit of weigh from those heavy tyres I've decided to leave the rear bumper off :P
