www.tirerack.com lists them on their site as a wheel that will fit my car when you put in the make and model, which surprised me since i thought most bbs wheels were 5 lugs for the euros but my good buddies e30 is 4 lug but its kinda old anyways ill find out for sure tomorrow when i call them.
Also the cars color is red. One of my friends thinks that i am retarded for tryin to put bbs wheels on a japanese car do you guys think its alright or just retarded?

With the ssr competitions how do you think gold would look? Its not listed as a wheel that is available though, only silver and anthracite are listed. I know they make a gold version cause its on the site but is it only 5 lug or something?

Thanks for the replys!!

Yeah ive read that before that they are not really that strong when it comes to pot holes but they hold up better for actual road racing compared to rotas. Kinda makes sense kinda not.

I have a set of SSR's and they did dent when I had them on as daily driver wheels. But at that time, it was on 40 series tires. If you're gonna put 45 series tires on it, (I'm assuming you're gonna get the 16's) you're gonna be ok. But I would still be cautious about where to drive with the wheels on...

I have a friend that has them but most people have the evolution model. Yeah where you went is where all the rice is. We usually dont meet up until 1 or 2 at the highways out in b.f.e. Any one that cruises that strip is in high school still. Next time you come down pm and i can show you where we run its not glamorous but the quality of cars is good. Its always import vs domestic but we are all generally friends.

Well back to the wheels, i want to go 17s (yeah i know, i know) ive never had them before and i think 17s look the best. If i am going to go to the track which i only usually do 3 or 4 times a year i can put the stockies back on. My real question is would people look at me as being a moron for running bbs wheels on a honda? My friend is convinced that i would be a ricer for doing this. Whats your opinion?

You just listed two of my most favorite wheels, that's a tough choice, but I'd say it depends on what look you are going for and what color your car is.

You wouldn't be rice for having BBS wheels, you'd be broke
Actually, I have yet to see a Civic rolling on BBS's. It'd be a nice touch.

The BBS is more classy, while the SSR is screaming performance@!

Thats what i have been thinking. Yeah 1700 for just wheels is a lot but i am slightly over half way there and it shouldnt take me much more than a month to have the cash for them. On wheelweights.net it lists the bbs as fairly heavier than the ssr. I just think it would be fairly unique to run bbs wheels instead of like volks it would be different yet still classy.
