lol why not? I saw them on a stock S2K rim on here and they looked very nice. I don't actually have the EP3 yet so I am not sure what they would look like on them but I thought they would look nice? I must be wrong, very wrong

because they dont seat against the rims properly.

Aftermarket lugs use tapered seats whilst stock honda rims use ball seats.

they may FAIL if you use aftermarket lugs with stock rims as the point of contact with the rim is not 100%

The wait is over

Hi Guys,

I think this thread is starving for pix, so here it is as. My 2002 JDM EP3.
I'm a noob when it comes to cars, so hope you guys can help me out in the future.

I was close to getting a WRX but the feeling of hitting that VTEC zone, can't really describe it, just blew me away & thats where I knew I had to get this car.

This car is going to take me to 2 years to pay off. I'm currently studying full time at Uni & working full time to pay off this car. Don't ask me how I can do both but i think it's all worth it.
