Your wheel sizes for FD Civic

definitely the first set. look like volk re30 replicas :thumbsup:
why 17s? go 18~!! :p
for a silver car they might look better in black, gunmetal or bronze imo

also make sure u get the right width and offset to save u money down the road when trying to fit them on ur car

another vote for TM-02

haha 18" looks good but imo its heavy =X

then you have to pay for install/labour. if you get free install, then your gay LOL.

if your going to get air struts.. when dont you get a decent set of coils like cusco or n+ or tein, then install the air strut over the top of it so you can have the best of both worlds??

haha i dunno but my main installer can get it for cheaper. it is 5k imported + fitted (takes about 3 days to fit). do you want to buy air runners if its same price as air force?

he says it might be difficult to fit air bags because of being a sedan, for like mini truck (i.e rodeo etc) it is easier. i was confuzzled after he started to explain it haha

i think im gonna stick with k-sport, maybe air strut afterward. Wilkinson suspension says k-sport = tein = bc n+. if i wanted good ones he said get like KW coilover with stainless steel stuff which is like ~4k

one question... anyone heard of tyres called Achilles? can get them for $860 a set. I looked at
T1R = $341
Proxes 4 = $325
Hankook = $323
Re001 = $590
shop said Achilles are pretty good for street use and nearly on par with the above tyres (as i'm not putting car on track, ie 19" isn't good for track) is this true?
also Sumitomo tyres, are they good? what price?

achilles and accelera are like the cheapest set of 19s u can get. they're both quite the same and are not really designed to be driven hard on em. they're pretty much just basic low profile street tyres.

i had a set of 235/35/19 accelera tyres on my old set of wheels, which i believe are about the same in quality (and also price) as achilles. i dont track my car and i barely drive hard, so they were a pretty inexpensive way to get from A to B.

I wouldn't recommend Achilles, my friend got them on EK, no grip...cheap tyre.

oh ok so when its wet i'll b doing fish tails everywhere?

what tyre is bang for buck? i know 19"s are expensive but surely there are tyres not as expensive as toyo's, bridgestone etc. Are pirelle tyres the same price?

u wont be fishtailing if u corner slowly =]. i almost fishtailed off a cliff last week, fkn stupid of me... tired driving in the wet = nono =[

kuhmo ku36

will it make any difference on ride comfort if im goin to 225/45/17? currently im using 215/45/17 stock michelin tires...
