Congrats. Car looks HOTT!

Dont tell me. Twins for sure. why 15" bro?? The civic deserves 17".

i guess its because its primarily shuvd's dad's ride.hence the preference to a plush ride quality.

shuvd · 3rd August 2008, 22:10

Actually I wanted 16s. 17s are an overkill for Calcutta. I don't want to end up with busted sidewalls. Now, the problem is there are very few alloy options in 16"s. The ones that are available, are fugly! Hence I think I'll stick to 15s. Will probably get BFG G-Force Sports in 205/60/15.

Navpreet, my dad is also a full on petrol head. He says the suspension could have been slightly stiffer!!

shuvd,lucky dude.to have a dad who's a proper petrol head.wow.get some stiffer springs man.they won't hurt your pocket that much.

my kid though will have a great time with a dad like me.

Congrats Manik, Civic do look HOT with new shoes !!

OT: Fogs of civic seems to be yellow in color, it will matched with headlamp
s color i.e. if it can be changed to white !!

Awesome choice! Deep dish black wheels with a chrome outline are amongst the best designs ever made. Congratulations. Your Civic is looking really neat.

abhi1309 · 4th August 2008, 14:34

Best looking civic ever. Japanese aggression at its best

hydrashok · 4th August 2008, 16:35

Whoa! HOT HOT wheels!

shuvd · 4th August 2008, 16:37

@ Navpreet - The D2s cost close to 50k my friend!! And, I would rather upgrade my car's suspension first. Lenso GTR 16" has 4 holes.

navpreet318 · 4th August 2008, 16:59

point noted.
sorry i didn't see that in the catalog.
well i called up the lenso distributors in mumbai.they have quite a few designs.you should check with them too.i'm deciding on the lenso gf7 probably.
