      Saw a civic with those on it the other day and the tires were very worn on he car, I thought about putting a note on the car telling the people I'd get them new tires and different wheels in trade for their wheels, but I already have too many wheels at my house. Lol.

        You know, I've often thought of the same thing, although my position has been lack of finances.

                  Who are they made by, should say on the back. I wouldn't be surprised if they are forged. A lot of oem wheels are. I think they look good painted white, or bronze.

                      It rubs the oil on it's hose!


                      Aaron, when you get that thing together you should take a nice winter vacation in a warmer place (hint hint). You and Mike could convoy.

                              That doesn't sound like a bad idea. Many more summers like this one and I might start migrating like a bird.

                              That's what I figured. Definitely a quality wheel.
