Hopefully my new rims will make my Odyssey VIP :)
what about the WORK VS XX
like this http://www.motorworldhype.com/wp-con...sxx_chrome.jpg
but get the black ones
Pricing for mugen parts are way too much though, i'd say the Lexus is more feasible too, cos i know what IV23VI would do to it LOL
why comparing lexus with a honda euros ? lols not the same level . but if u compare with euro vs camry then it would be hehe
i mean lexus r high end model jap cars should compare it against other high end manufactures . n price tags are far more dearer too.
Going back to 1994 , the same could have been said about a NSX v Ferrari .. But when the 348 was pitted against the nsx the Ferrari was comprehensively hosed in all areas. Just don't tell the ignorant people.
TO: ALBII
im going to be completely very very.. and way tooo honest...
You used to own a silver euro... CL9... car itself is great. But from what i remember correctly.. u had BSA rims on. which i think looks like shit on the car.

Now u upgraded yourself to a brand new Euro CU2, and congrats cause it won wheels car of the year. But seriously... the wheels you have on now is a piece of shit.
Conclusion
U have great taste in cars but U have no taste on wheels, like you said on the other thread, http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...=119753&page=2
"To me ,throwing $5000 wheels at a in your case $15,000 car isn't justifiable.
And if you think it makes your car worth any more ,think again."
Now if i was to change your words.. that $5000 wheels is any of WORK, RAYS, ENKEI wheels in 19 or 20inch. and that $15,000 car you were referring to was an Accord Luxury 2004 which brand new cost about $40,000.
Lets change ur setence so that it makes more sense why people spend big money on wheels.
"To me, throwing a 19inch WORK Wheels at a in your case an Accord Luxury isnt justifiable. And if you think it makes your car worth anymore, think again"
Here my version of what i think about cheap wheels on Wheels car of the year.
"To me, throwing a poor quality, heavy ass wheels at a in your case CU2 'Wheels car of the year' is just such a waste. If CU2 came with wheels like you currently have on it would NOT HAVE WON Wheels COTY
And if you still think that its not a waste... think again!"
You really are Type R Positive.. *in Borat's accent* "Capital R for Reeetaardation" only someone like Borat would compare a GS with a Euro and say that Euros is just as good... seriously, A euro would be the top of the range sedan Honda makes, and GS would be one of the top of the range sedan lexus makes. its only fair that you compare the 2 top of the line models from Lexus and Honda. Simply Euro and GS.
Ill tell you what the Honda euro was built to compete with, this was from the 2009 Honda Accord Euro CU2 review
"Premium mid-sized cars like the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat will compete against the new Accord Euro from Honda"
Now tell me which Honda car review did you read that states the Honda Euro was built to compete with Lexus IS or GS.?
Why compare price in the States which is on the other side of the country + maybe because the Yanks love their American Muscles and maybe that could be why the price of lexus there has dropped.
Why not compare price in Japan which is closer to home, the difference with Lexus GS and an Accord Euro.
Sorry just to make things clear.. i dont have problem with what ever wheels people put on their EUROS.... what ever tickles their fancy... not going to comment negative shit about it. I only have a problem with Albii's because he made a negative comment about putting quality wheels on a car regardless the price of the car...
WTF...
Dude, take a closer look at a second hand Lexus GS and a the New Accord Euro. The Euro is wholloped in all areas.
Actually even better.. Take a look at the NEW lexus GS and a NEW Accord Euro and the Euro is STILLLLLLL WHOLLLOPED.
Heres a link to a detailed Spec of the Lexus GS and please tell me in which area the Euro is better in.
http://www.lexus.com/models/GS/detai...fications.html
So ALBII please tell me... actually dont tell me... because you obviously dont know how to review a car. Please ALBII give us A LINK to a website, a car review between the EURO and the Lexus GS which states that the EURO WHOLLOPES the Lexus In all areas. Because its only fair if you compare one the top of the line Sedans from each car make. in this case EURO VS GS. or LEGEND VS ES
And for your information.. The Lexus that [IV 23 VI] would rather get than the new euro is a Lexus GS. Correction [IV 23 VI] is selling his accord and IS GETTING A Lexus GS.
Thank you Alfa and Jason!
albii obviously does not have a clue.
keep it AUDM no USDM lol
yeah, I know, but same car in different market, with same spec level shows you what the euro is truely competing with.
AUDM we miss out on most cars, and the ones we do get are soooo overpriced. IS250 case point. Go drive one. See for yourself. Makes the Euro even more special. ;)
Pricing for starters:
$80990 IS250 sports luxury AT
$48290 Euro lux navi AT
Yeah! but we way off topic now...
Anyways, any 245/35R19 available in 98+ load rating?
Me looking at some gtc 01's.
Here is one from the states lowered on eibach's:
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...keigtc0119.jpg
Accord euro are a great VALUE luxury car, but you can't say with complete conviction that they're anything to be compared with a IS250. yes, both cars are seemingly similar, but are aimed at completely different markets. hence why you see 30 cu2/cl7/cl9 on the roads everyday and a lot less IS250.
both cars are not within the same price bracket for a reason. fact.
in terms of wheels, i agree with Rein, wheels for cars should be price relevant. for instance if you've bought a brand new $45K + car like the CU2 does it really do it justice to throw cheap wheels and tyres on? if anything you've reduced the quality of the car in doing so. spending 2K on wheels and tyres for myself for instance as I drive a 2000 Accord is more feasible as my car is only worth sub 11K.
would love to see a IS250/GS/G36 vs Accord Euro comparison to back up some of the previous statements.
carry on... just my 2 cents :)
on the AUDM.
Everywhere else, they're the same price LOL! FACT! :p
$31k for the IS250 in the states vs $32k for the TSX tech pack.
Now, tell me is the IS250 worth $30k more here than our Euro?
read any american review. They compare them all the time. ;)
here's some 19" RH evolution F10's:
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...utionf1019.jpg
this also needs to be lowered, but suits the car well.
yeh finaly some nice wheels on CU2, makes the CU2 quality stand out more..
Not sure about these 18" enkei RAZR's:
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...nkeirazr18.jpg
enkei razr's again:
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n.../enkeirazr.jpg
first 2 u posted are better.
Thats what I thought.
Im pricing some gtc01's at the moment, but might be a while before I buy.
My prado needs new tyres, and I just replaced the euro's.....
if u just replaced the euro's I wouldnt bother buying wheels yet unless u can get them at a steal..
ALso load rating 98 on a 245/19 tyre maybe hard to find.. probably be a high end tyre
TO REIN....only posting this as you are such a tough guy on the internet.
Rein ,get over yourself..
You put a set of wheels and some suspension on your car and think you and all you stand for makes sense and nothing else..
Heres something for you to consider..
Your car has 130,000 km on it..Yes you've driven around the world a couple of times..
By this stage your car should have had some extensive panel work as well as some sort of engine and auto trans issue.
Get over it . Just because a couple of 20 yo tell you your car is awesome doesn't mean it ACTUALLY is...What i would like to honestly know is how many smartarse remarks have been thrown your way whilst driving your christmas tree? LOL black roof..
Your car may appeal to the pre puberty era , but that doesnt mean it appeals to everyone.
YOUR car looks CRAP, is too low and has stupid camber that just screams WANK.
Why don't you take a leaf out of Chris f book and act like a mature enthusiast rather than a little wanker.
Have you seen Chris fs euro...Personally shits all over yours but he doesnt go posting pics and bites everytime someone makes a negative comment about his car..Why? cos he don't care and has a lote more maturity than you could ever dream about.
If you think your cars the shit, that's great, cos i think its just shit with sooo many add ons to try hide the fact its getting old.
While your cruising in your 6 yo car with 130,000 kms on it and your vip wannabe boy racer spec car, the guy in the brand new 09 CU2 with wheels not as good as yours is laughing at you cos for one..You should have bought an EVO. Or 2 ..you should have bought a manual....loooooooool
Btw ,who said anything about a LEXUS GS?
LEXUS is250 you douche...and yes the euro whallops it...
You have already been ripped in every other thread..
stop making excuses, just cos u have finance on a CU2 with shit wheels,
And no, the IS250 ripps shit all over a euro..
there is a thread about this in the noobs section , even aarrong agrees with the IS350 being a betta car.
He then made a thread to post everything in there and let ozhonda decide, go post your unwanted opinions in there.
All you seem to do is call people names, getting cut are we?
Back to topic, the two first CU2's posted by type r positive look awesome!
Far thos ewheels looks hot man just need a kit to complete the looks
Thanks Albii... ill listen to your advice and try to be more mature.. Im not going to reply to your comments on here from now on... as i do not want to ruin this thread... but heres a link to a thread dedicated to you by a 22yr old who has no taste in mods. http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119835
Keep those pics coming Type R Positive.!
Found a nice front on pic from Japan, no wheels, but mugen front lip.

LOL as much as I love my CU2 and pick it over GS any time (if some1 give a GS free to me, I sold it and buy CU2), but I still said Alfa's CL9 is to hot to be true... No offence albii, like I said on the other forum, I'm not a fans to your type of wheels...
anyway, hope we can stick to the thread from now on...
damn its hard to find nice CU2 pics.
plus I think not many people like the CU2 compared to the new Accord V6,
The CL9 did much better, also most people who had or have a CL9 dont really like the CU2 so they havent bothered to upgrade.

Yeah , i thought the same thing till i drove it...the gulf in refinement and overall build and quality is quite noticable.
Btw, some people who bought the 03 to 08 euro may be using it as a stepping stone in their car life and have moved on to bigger and better things post euro.
If i didn't have property a bike and a work truck to worry about, i may have done that also, but the CU2 is hard to pass up for the money..makes the 320i ,A4 and c200 seem overpriced.
Also ATJO...The CL9 and CU2 have 2 totally different looks..CL9 more sporty 4 door as opposed to CU2 more classy.
LOL albii... For me, it's the other way around... sorry for CL9 owner, but for me the CL9 looks a bit "bapak bapak" car and the CU2 is somewhat sportier. but hey, its only my opinion :p
oh, but if you modded the looks of CL9 like atjo or alfa did, that's different story... :thumbsup:
albii, just give up. just becsaue ur family doesnt love you means you have to hate all over ozhonda. maybe u should grow up and stop being so jelous
where is the love?
end of the day its just a car, piece of metal. who cares whos is better.
like saying who has a bigger e penis. mine is 2 inches.....
FROM THE GROUND
(i know im funny)
Oh trust me I was consistently whinging to them but all I could do was wait for the fix. It just got too much, I didnt buy a new car to have a pinging sound.
Hence the reason why Im so skeptical why it got voted 'Car of the year' or whatever when Honda have had this pinging issue over alot of cars in the 1 and 1/2 yrs the CU2 been out.
I have a Subaru now and love it
LOL, and that is why Honda OZ took all Euro advertisement for a while (any1 notice? no euro ad on drive paper, on cars guide, etc). They just start advertising euro again in the past couple of months...
anyway, can we go on with the topic of "Wheels for CU2" that buddah start, instead of fighting each other? Where are the moderators if you need them???
Back on topic , since i was rudely interrupted.
Get yourself a life mate. Don't go around with your pathetic little remarks to stir up trouble from 1500km away..If you have the balls, be a smartarse to me in person or STFU..and keep to the topic..
You've been on Ozhonda 5 mins and you think you're a veteren..You're a fkn NOOOOOB.
Too bad all the old members have dissappeared because of jerks like you.
And the fail part, i beg to differ buddy.
I wont entertain any more of your wannabe sarcastic remarks..
