THE RIMS ARE 2002 si stock

speak for yourself there buddy, i had 17s on my cr, that i bought for 800 dollars. i was driving about 80 on the free way and one of my 17 inch rims decided to crack from the vibration that diving 80 caused. my car then broke a tie rod, and sent me into a tree, where i didn't do any damage, cause i luckily got the car stop just inches from the tree. i wish i had gotten the si rims because they look better than most aftermarket rims out there. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR is all i have to say.

i speak from experience when i say dont get the 17s, the tires are toodamn expensive, sure you can get tires for cheap, but the key word is cheap, how long will they last. i had tires less than 5000 miles, and on my stock rims, im at 20000 plus and no problems. if you wanted a good reason, safty is a good reason. i almost got killed, if that is not enough of a reason to stop you from getting new wheels, than be preparred to expect the worst. also aftermarket lug nuts, will mess up most stock honda threads, i know that one from experience as well. i had to replace some of the threads when i went back to stock. its not a good idea.
