P.S. if you live in the DFW area hit me up if you need any paint and bodywork done.

Car is super slammed :naughty:. Looks good :y

thanks Karo... glad to see your turbo dreams are coming true!

damn i want that roof rack...looks sweet. I love the wheels on that civic

Thanks! Everyone likes the roof rack on the car lol... I took it off once when I had it at the shop and it looked naked without it haha guess I'm just used of seeing it with it on.

He's had his civic forever, think thats like his 5th set of wheels now. He's about to turbo it, I cant wait for it. :naughty:

looking very good dude
very clean ride
and heres another + on the bike rack ^.^

Thanks... I'm going by my friends paint shop again tonight to help out on a '57 SL so I'll bring my camera and take more pics. Cleaning my air filter now, that thing was filthy.

Arctic White to the world man! It's clean I like the roof rack if you're selling those CLS rims hmu first!!

Sure thing man ill keep you in mind. Ill probably have the wheels repainted before I sell them. If you want them a different color lmk

car is looking good bro. i like the roof rack a lot. mind me asking where you got it from? i might be biking soon. looking for one.

I got mine at Sun Ski and Sport, they had a 40% discount sale going on around tax return time. Plus I had a coupon for off the total so I got it all for around 325 which isnt bad, thats the whole rack, lock keys, and the two bike holders.

might be putting my wheels up for sale soon guys... hopefully I found my next set of wheels.

Ok bite the bullet and got the OZ AMG wheels so my CLS wheels will be up for sale soon...

nice ride !

i love the height .. does it roll without problems ? even with a full car load ?

can i get a full side on pic ?

cheers !

It rolls fine. But I rolled my fenders when I got my wheels initially. Ill take some pics when I get time and after a wash.

fenders ?

back and front ?

I rolled the rear fenders at first and did the fronts when I got my coilovers just for precaution but it wasn't needed. But it all depends on your wheel offset in the rear if it'll rub or not. I have +33 in the rear and it only rubs if I go over a big dip on the highway, but its just rubbing the fender lining. If you got wheels with a +35 offset I dont think you'll rub at all. Hope that helps.

I'll be getting 17x8.5 +30 fr and 17x9.5 rr +30 here in the next month once the guy ships them off. for tires i'll be running 225/45/17 and 255/40/17.

Here are my next wheels and a side view of my car. Raised the rear a little bit, felt like the stance was off looking at it.

HOT ! Looking good !

Your rides going to look sick with the new wheels man! hows the ride with the tein

Teins are a nice comfortable ride they aren't too stiff and soft enough to handle daily driving conditions.

Yea I can't wait to put the wheels on! It'll have to be after Christmas probably till I get them on.

which tein coilovers are you running? anything to correct camber? looks great.... i'm about to pick up a c240 tomorrow and hope it one day looks as clean as yours...

Thanks... I'm running Tein basics, got a good deal on them from a member on here. Anytime you lower your car or do anything to suspension, you should get an alignment IMO. Camber on mine wasn't too bad, rears camber are just a little bit negative and the fronts are still OEM spec.

I say lower the front some more!!

I will once I get the other wheels on... deciding what size tires i want to get for the 17s

fronts:
215/40/17
215/45/17
225/45/17

rears:
245/40/17
255/40/17
