Hey guys havn't posted on here ever I don't think :? . Anyway I thought I'd share some pics of my new wheels. I'm going to do a photo shoot when I get her washed and all finished. I still have some GC's and koni's on the way so that should help with the stance. If this is in the wrong section let me know. Feel free ot move it.

Yellows... I'm not to sure I like the 205 tire. It does seem a little tall, I should have gone with my first choice of 195 but I got these for the same price so I'll deal. Oh and the ride is so much nicer. Having balanced wheels is so money.

ooo only if you recognized the subtle differences you would know that its an EE8 front(VT) ..

Only difference is the glass headlights.. they are rounded a little bit where they meet the hood and bumper area.. plus they use the H4 bulbs. I sent you a PM ollie.

James -- were you the guy who tore up his fender/headlight (?) on a black CRX by hitting something right before N9?

Hey bro,
The 205 refers to the width of the tire (the contact patch if you will), it has nothing to do with height (sidewall).
For example, 205/50/15 means 205 mm wide, 50mm height, and 15 inches in diameter. Obviously, the taller the tire, the more comfortable ride at the expense of sidewall flex (handling).

bryman

the 2nd number of 50 is not how many mm tall the sidewall is...it is an aspect ratio of height to width...so in sense a 205/50 will be higher than a 195/50...but yes, 205 is how many mm it is across... :wink:
