Like everyone else said it looks great.
I always wondered what the big deal with ome wheels was.
Yours answers it all.

seeing yours pumps me up even more... i can't wait to pick up my 6th gen this weekend. 2000 Silver EX coupe, 5spd, only 40K miles. OEM lip kit and v6 suspension will be on the way here in the next month or two. i plan to swap the suspension parts for the 5 lug v6 hubs, allowing me to choose from a greater selection of honda/acura parts. this car is going to be all honda/acura parts besides for the full coilovers which will be apex-i ws or tein basic, haven't decided yet. had the apex-i's on my 5th gen and loved them.....but anyway, your car looks great. those wheels look perfect.

i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the final results. they looked NOTHING like the wheels i brought in. if you get really really close, you can see where they filled in the scrapes, but that's only if you know where and what to look for.

:bigok: glad i could help get you motivated for the upcoming purchase. the OEM kit and the OEM spoiler should be your first purchases. the longer you wait on those items, the more expensive they become. i got my entire kit for $500 from handaaccessories about 2 years ago, now, it's getting close to $1100. it's an investment.

i'm looking into tien coilovers, but cash is starting to get tight. those run about $1,000, and for the money, i'd rather finish off my car with Eibach Prokit springs ($150 and a 1.5in drop), Comptech sway bars ($300 front and rear), and a Vis CF hood (maybe).

i'm looking at the Eibach ProKits. 1.5in drop in all the corners. the back doesn't have that much room as the front, so anything more than 1.5 will really slam the car in the rear.

:thumbup: thanks again guys.
