Sorry to have to note this, but someone's grey marketing a lot of wheels from this eBay shop.

I was looking to see what's on eBay and someone selling wheels is now selling them, so just beware that some honda Civic may steal your thunder! Admittedly this seller is pirating some US Civic pics in this case. I suppose it requires someone to buy them, to make yours less unique.

Showing off my rims but don't have the NA to put into a pic.

Have you EVER seen a pic of a MX5 wearing Lenso Dash 15x6.5 wheels?
They are currently on a Corolla which I'd like to substitute for a NA.

How do you think these would look on a black NA8?

Possibly with a white hardtop, for a panda theme.

Well it couldn't last forever now, could it?

BTW they can be had for less than this by importing them directly from the US - and why deal with an eBay seller with 92% feedback if you don't have to?

Hey, thats my mk1 Civic from the seventies!! These babies date from '74 so are getting long in the tooth. My car had Mugen bits from a Jap only 5sp, twin carb, extracters model. I used to scare people with the 0-60 speed in the suburbs. I had rims just like this size (Globe Bathurst) but with gold centres. It was put off the road because the wheel protrudes. You can see the US guy has put discreet flares on.

thanks, im thinking adjustable upper control arms as my rears are maxed out camber and they still dont clear, but i have flares here but im not sure yet really, it might look stupid as they wont stick out that much considering the size of the flares.

but it feels nice with the 8/6 combo, but with everything, its just money, when i get around to saving for control arms ill buy them

Yeah I know what you mean. 8" +0 isn't really enough to fill out flares. Really need a negative offset or an 8.5" rim to make use of flares. I reckon a decent roll and pull on the guards with the control arms should be enough.

This is the same size and offset, sits under the guards with pretty much what I said above. So it can be done

What flares have you got btw?

some generic cheap ones, do u know what size and profile that tyre is? mine are a little too big profile wise and next time i want to go smaller and possibly 195 (from 205) if i dont have the arms by then

change profile to 195/50. Dont get camber arms.. they will break.
Stock adjustment is fine. I can 15 x 9+0 with stock guards (rolled) and adjustments.
