Yeah, when it comes time to swap, I'll look into anything though. K20 would be legit of course, but it's moar work than say a B16a2 or a B18C. I DO have plans to swap eventually, but until then it's a sporty DD that'll beat Ryan's Neon (for now).
Yes, they are 13s. Stockies FTW.
13" steelies = $20 Craigslist
13" trim rings = $33 eBay
13" tires (to be ordered tomorrow) = $175
Being stupid low, soft ride, and STILL cleaner than most Civics around here = Priceless

Josh, have you checked eBay? I ordered some 16" trim rings for my buddy w/ the blue RSX and they were $42 shipped...
Ryan, you'll feel it. No torque, but it'll "git."

finally went out and measured to see what depth i need instead of trusting xB forums.
1 3/4" wide 15" trim rings
are $55 so actually much cheaper than i thought. (some posts were saying 2" or 3" wide were needed

)

No way. We BOTH ordered ours in a 1 and 1/2" lip and mine fit PERFECT. 1-3/4" would be perfect for you I bet.
Ryan....The 99-00 AND 96-98 are BOTH EK fronts...96-00 is an EK Civic. Just call it a 99-00 front, or "Si" front as many call 'em.

Yeah, to be honest I don't care for either set of lugs I have....purple BLOX or chrome / rust Pepboys...
20 BLOX lugs
15 Ricer lugs
It was a simple choice, until I can grab some simple black ones or something.

I don't even know if it's the purple that throws it off... i think it's definitely the "tuner extended" lug on a 13" steelie that throws it off for me... LOL.

I hear ya there. The steelies need re-sprayed, and they'll either be a darkass purple or re-done gloss black. I want OE black lugs, or the black lugs that would come with standard wheels. Chrome ones would be too much and these extended ones stick out crazy far on these tiny wheels (as you saw) plus they are beat to shit from an impact.

Correct! The trick is to find some that aren't going to chip easily, aren't extended, and don't require a retarded key that'll strip out or rust the center out. In other words, those cheapo OE ones are what I need.

Negatory. You guys and your butt parties during the week, that rules me out.
I (apparently I'm alone here) like the purple lugs. But, since you are doing a repaint...dark purple with black lugs would look so sick. Do it. Now.

Overall plan:
-CTR red interior (not RHD)
-EBP re-spray
These include things like better / JDM steering wheel, OE Stanley fogs, CTR spoiler and front lip (will be reps, but you get it), CLEAN OEM wheels of some sort. I wont go over the top, it wont be nuts. Clean, simple, JDM-inspired. Dumped of course, and obviously still stupid slow.
