Wires won't be a noticeable difference unless you're mis-firing when you replace them or something... Not really a "power" mod, more a reliability/cosmetic mod.

not tryin to start s***, was just sayin
and i was lookin at the MSP lip because i have always liked that one better, but as you know
they are discontinued so there pretty dam hard to find

i actually told the guy i released dibs and i can get it from the replica GB if i wanted one
and not sure what just out of high school has to do with modding cars but thats your opinion so ill respect it
Good day

you assumed something so i assumed something.

that is all

i still respect your car.

the msp lip looks much better. however, i know how rare they are now. hopefully the group buy will turn out for ya.

this is why i actually like these forums, everyone has respect for one another. not like those honda-tech forums where every other thread is a flame war....


and does anyone know if these will fit a p5? the description says they will but ive only seen these on the sedans.

I'm all too familiar with 205/50/16, I had that size on the P5 wheels. I'm just wondering if 205/45/16 is worth it.

im running this, on my stockers. let me know if you wanna see some pics.

So, after getting my new 16" wheels I noticed a few problems. First off, the tires were 205/55/16's when the guy told me 205/50/16's. Secondly, he told me he got them in December and were in good shape. The tires have half tread maybe and there are signs of dry rot all over the sidewall. Also, the car pulled and there was a vibration in the steering wheel after I put his wheels on, my car did none of this before the trade.

So in conclusion, I am going to harass him until he trades me back. I have no problem giving him the cash he gave me for my wheels but I'm not gonna be taken on a ride by this guy.

For some good news though, I did get Tein S-Tech's with Tokico Blues installed today.

They look like they should. If not, nothing a little trimming with a Dremel won't fix.

How do you like 'em, Matt?

 

[Matt V]

Oh man I tell ya, I love it. Of course I'm on the 55 series tires at the moment but I AM getting my 17's back tomorrow so I'll get pics and impressions then.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

i love the dg/autoexe lip painted *shrug* really fits the lines of the car. yes it is a heavy lip but it makes the front end look finished. i think the msp lip is bland. yes it is there, yes it is a lip, but it is a meh lip. i did the dg because of the two main choices it is there haha. i also wanted to keep my fog lights without expensive ass brackets

you just liked it because it made you look more lower!

and the msp lip actually flows better. imo.

(wedge)

however, fog light ftw.

there needs to be more options for the pro. but it is a dying breed.

 

[Matt V]

No fogs FTW.

if you installed the springs and wheels at the same time then maybe your car pulls cuz you havent gotten it aligned yet?
mine pulls hard to the right but i dont worry about it, alignments are a waste of time on my car, they never fix anything

Could you get more cash from him for new tires? Because those wheels are sweet.

I don't really know about this...

 

[Matt V]

I tried but he only offered to give $50 more which just isnt worth my time. I'm glad I'm going back to the 17's.

 

[HKPRO5]

Have you tried to get your tires balanced?

 

[Matt V]

I'm not paying for it when the guy said the wheels were perfectly fine. Plus I'm not even going to bother with these 55 series tires. I'm getting my old wheels and tires back tomorrow.

 

[roy obanion]

Can we at least see pics of them?

Too bad the guy was kind of a slob...

 

[Matt V]

Honestly I'm embarassed of how it looks because the wheels are painted black and are chipped, not to mention the giant 55 series tires but I'll get a pic tomorrow before I swap back later tomorrow.

 

[Flash5]

cleaned the outside yesterday and the inside today. about 3 weeks till summer stuff goes on, cant wait to cause I am actually getting rolling shots done around then too (its nice to have friends with professional camera equipment).

 

[Ray Oliver]

I swapped on the summer wheels and tires. Makes a big difference for the handling!
