What else do you plan to do with the car? New rims? Tires?

Nice choice of wheels! I like how the foglights look as well.

Wheels/Tires, lower on Swifts/Konis, exhaust.

All very long term plans. With my commute I already feel bad having a nice car, let alone one loaded with high end parts.

Looks good! Almost hard to tell in this picture its a different white than the normal fit white.. the rims look much better than the previous ones too (honda decals are a nice touch)

Reminds me to do my own JDM emblems soon.. need to find the DIY on how to do it

Installed an LED dome light. The difference is amazing, and the light cost me .80 CAD ($3.20 for 4 lights) off Amazon. Just waiting for the boot light and rear plate light to come in.

Your Dome light is a slightly different size (DE3175), however, this should work:

Amazon.com: 2pcs 31mm 12-SMD 1.25" 12V Festoon Dome Light LED Bulbs + STICKER DE3175 DE3022 DE3021 3175 - White: Automotive Amazon.com: 2pcs 31mm 12-SMD 1.25" 12V Festoon Dome Light LED Bulbs + STICKER DE3175 DE3022 DE3021 3175 - White: Automotive

Different company than what I ordered from (I ordered from amazon.ca), and this is a two pack. Your boot light size is 168:

Amazon.com: Jtech 10x 194 168 2825 T10 5-SMD White LED Car Lights Bulb: Automotive Amazon.com: Jtech 10x 194 168 2825 T10 5-SMD White LED Car Lights Bulb: Automotive

These should fit the bill, and if you're wondering what to do with the spares, a lot of older vehicles use 168/194 bulbs for the dash lights, so you can pass them on as an upgrade for someone else. I'm going to use my extra 194 LEDs for my wife's truck, since her dash bulbs are old and most of them are burnt out.

Got my Summer wheels on yesterday. Ah feels good. Before going to garage had to let it sit and idle to melt the layer of freezing rain.

Finally got my Konig Helium bronze wheels in. 15" instead of the stock 16" makes for some meaty looking rubber. 195-60-15 tires compared to 185-55-16 makes the overall size the same, just more rubber and less metal.

They weigh 11 lb each, 6 less than the oem alloys.

"Installed" weather techs, hopefully these will save my carpet from the endless mud here and stop sliding around.

I really like the look of those wheels. I ordered the Advanti S1 storms which should be on my car this month. They also weigh about 10.6lb which is a huge improvement and they look like your Konigs.
