Here is a pic of what your civic could look like with the rims available from performance wheels. I want to get the ones on the front for mine. Todd you had the best image I could find for my work, so I hope you dont mind that I covered up your Enkeis! J. Stokes

To big, let me cut it down...

What do you think? Image isnt very good but you get the gist. Anyway its not really 12:22am, its only 4:30pm for me over here right now, so I dont know why it says I posted this at that time?

That's pretty cool. Could you do that with, say, a set of Konig GT-Rs?

By jms (144.59.13.2) on Monday, July 16, 2001 - 06:04 pm:

sure, got a pic of them?

By electricks (202.129.65.51) on Monday, July 16, 2001 - 09:40 pm:

here is a sloppy pic of the wheels i was considering (WAW in 120pcd for $160 aus each)

By jms (144.59.13.2) on Monday, July 16, 2001 - 11:30 pm:

Sweet, that looks like the Konig GT-Rs. But they look heavy, 17in?

By jms (144.59.13.2) on Tuesday, July 17, 2001 - 02:59 am:

ps, do you have a point of contact as to where can you get those in AU? 160 AU$ is equal to about 80 US$ not bad, what size?

By electricks (202.129.65.51) on Tuesday, July 17, 2001 - 06:24 pm:

yeah, ahm... i have mentioned these wheels for sale in other places on the site, but it didn't seem to stir as much excitement as i predicted. they are 15" wheels made by WAW in south africa - wheelcraft alloy wheels www.waw.co.za that is their company website. i doubt you would have to buy these in australia and ship them over. i'm sure that they would have a contact in america somewhere. but the australian wheel place that sells them (just down the road from my house)---> this is there site www.magwheel.com.au creative web address also be sure to realise that when i grafted those wheels onto the pic of my car, i couldn't resist but make them fill the entire wheel well. while 15" wheels wont look like the ones in the picture, still a helluva lot better than anything near 12".

By jms (144.59.13.2) on Wednesday, July 18, 2001 - 12:47 am:

Couldnt find anything here. I went to the WAW website though. They have some sweet wheels in 4X120PCD up to 17in! I like the 'Orbits' but they dont have 120PCD, damn.

Would 16 or 17in rims be to heavy on a stock motor??

By electricks (202.129.65.51) on Wednesday, July 18, 2001 - 05:36 pm:

i mean email waw and see if they have a dealer where you are. they don't have much written on their site.

By jms (144.59.13.2) on Wednesday, July 18, 2001 - 11:17 pm:

yeah, I did that

By electricks (202.129.65.51) on Thursday, July 19, 2001 - 06:39 am:

arr ok. i thought that only the v-tec and the prowler were avail. in 4x120pcd, or was that just because i was only interested in 15" wheels.

New guy here. I just found this site and am excited to learn some cool stuff. My first CVCC was a 76. I had it pro lowered with some trick 3D - 5 star brushed aluminum wheel from JRC. they were 12 X 5 and with the Perelli P7 worked unlike anything I have had since. Cost was $100 each, that is tires and wheel for a total of $800. By using these with a pro-lowering job, I was 3.5 off the ground and had full suspension. I will see if I can scan a pic in for you guys.

One other thought from the new guy. On my second hatch I put 15" on and was terrible disatified with the speed reduction, and the rigid ride. This car was loaded too. Custom header, dual carb.... the hole 9 yards. I think of these things a go-carts. The fun is in the handeling not the speed.

By jms (144.59.13.2) on Thursday, July 19, 2001 - 10:42 pm:

New guy, welcome and post a pic. Also, what is JRC? Electricks, if you go to the 'fitment guide' on that website it lists the PCDs many where 98-139 so I assume that means 98 through 139 and not just 98 and 139. Maybe I am wrong. ps. speed is fun too.

By jms (144.59.13.2) on Friday, July 20, 2001 - 01:34 am:

opps, I meant to say (many 'were' not 'where')

By Anonymous (207.225.66.165) on Friday, July 20, 2001 - 12:14 pm:

They were an accident in the finding, but I will track down what they were and let you know. I will also do my best to scan that pic in. I got rid of the car a while ago.

By electricks (202.129.65.51) on Monday, July 23, 2001 - 04:45 pm:

jms, they mean not just those two, but the whole range. also you can get any offset you like aswell. i checked out the wheels shop yesterday, they dont look as cool in real life, less sharp than the picture suggests. also, WAW does not have dealers in america.
