if you're on bags, i think you should go w/more aggressive offsets. +38 isnt aggressive at all, imho. i think offsets in the 20's are aggressive.

take your time when looking for wheels. its a big purchase and makes a diff w/your car. GL! btw, those wheels arent my cup of tea

Reminds me of bigger, deeper Mach1 wheels from the Mustang. Not too bad looking.

well i guess we will see what they look like on tuesday. when i ordered them the guy said that lip on the front isnt as deep as it looks in the pic, thats supposed to be a 22x11 in the pic. i looked at some other wheels to but i got a real good deal on these. if i dont like them in person i got a friend that will take them off my hands. so i guess i got nothing to loose

yeah kmc has come along way! i remember back in the day the first set of wheels i ever bought was a set of 15" kmc 3 stars for my 88 honda accord with the 50 series tire. back in the early 90's arround here it was all reverse spokes and hydros. so it was odd to see a honda with bigger wheels. i like the smooth clean style of this wheel. you guys know i'll be postin up some pics for ya!!!!!!

im real happy with these you guys!!!! they fit just right. i can drive with the car dumped down on 20's looks like im still gonna have to roll the front finders though, so turning with it dumped is still a little sketchy, when they get rolled it will be perfect. here is a pic i took early the morning after i put them on. ill get more pics for you guys soon as i can get it cleaned up!!!
