Got them on today, I'll have some decent pics tomorrow. Amazingly light. Very pleased. Mint conditioned 182 wheels will be for sale soon.

agree

haitch · Nov 20, 2005

agree would have gone for black personally.

Dan Page · Nov 20, 2005

ok but i think i woulda gone for some other rims.
different though, which is a good thing

Christopher · Nov 20, 2005

they look really nice imo.

nice to see a bit of JDM style work well where it's not meant to.

good work!

rmccardal · Nov 20, 2005

Plain black would be a bit boring.

The polished lip takes a bit of getting used to but I really like it.
They looked really good on the road too.

To answer the questions:

Yes, 16x7" available in ET40 and ET45 they weigh something like 5.8KG per unit.
Cost £380 + del.

Best wheels for the money imo.

williams · Nov 20, 2005

had those on my old civic in matt black

GeeUK · Nov 20, 2005

JDM wheels on a French car eh..

Look OK thou.

Williams, your Civic looks just like the one they gave away in Banzai magazine.

seb · Nov 20, 2005

i think they look good.

B16DOE · Nov 20, 2005

like them

miketheman2k · Nov 20, 2005

Thanks for the comments guys...good or bad, its interesting to hear what you think. The 'spoon' style wheels aren't the obvious choice for a French hot hatch in Europe, and I wasn't 100% sure to start off with, but everytime I see the car it just looks better and better! Its the style of wheel that you need to be brave to try (yup, I'm a proper man!

), but I've felt its paid off

I felt that black was a bit on the dull side, not that I'm the king of bling or anything, but the gunmetal and polished rim just works well in my eyes. Having said that, the black suits that yellow civic very well.

Thanks. I'm not an aftermarket alloy person either, but saving 12kg of unsprung weight makes me wet. Cooler brakes and a slightly wider track are a nice bonus too.

Gary G · Nov 20, 2005

Looks awesome Mike!!!

Btw how did you manage to get the centre caps on?? mine didnt fit :S

BenR · Nov 20, 2005

its got a nice dish on it aswell, none of this sooooper poofy flat faced 1992 type wheels.

Remedi · Nov 20, 2005

It cool to see something different rather than just Turinis and Super Leggs etc

I think they look superb:approve:

BenR · Nov 20, 2005

now you just need 4 degrees of camber for that JDM tyte look yo!

They just snapped in. Although we had to take them out to check the alignment and each cap snapped slightly, so I don't think they're what you would call over-engineered

not that many ppl have had superleggs!lol

i like the wheels but i think they look too small. i think 17s would have looked better?

Remedi · Nov 20, 2005

You what! common as muck

OZs in general are popular though.

The 16s look fine to me, more room to lower it
