These Diamonds are real..
Thank god gbaby is not still on here. Even though that's before most of your time. Since they weigh the same as stock I would hope they are durable. Imo orange really works on anything but orange. So if you have a orange fit nix the orange idea. This can be done right yes. But again like general concensus you would have to be slammed for 1 and 2 I don't think fits can safely get the camber to make these pop off. I might be wrong but camber kits for the ge8s are hard to come by just like every part for our cars

I was looking into getting these wheels a couple months ago because i think they're beautiful. The only thing that stopped me was the offset. The highest offsets for the sizes I was looking at was
15x8 +12
15x7 +0
Dont get me wrong, I think it'll look nice, but with the limit range of camber our cars offer, or even how much pulling on the fender you would have to do, its kinda non-practical.
Oh, and they uped their prices too. They are now selling a set of 15's for $392 before shipping.

We'll see though. Diamonds are more on the extreme end of 'hellaflush/stance' and all that good stuff. You guys are right. It might be a bit too much for a fit. But until someone does it...we'll never know.
If we werent so far apart..id let you mess with mine lol. you should get with jdmjunkie, he lives in sofl right?

In my experience, they make EVERYTHING look better, though I've never run them on the street. We have run the same set of 13 X 9's on every $200X Challenge car we've done, and no, it's got nothing to do with 'stance' or whatever. Hell, they make a Dodge 600 look like a race car.

Why did Gbaby change his user name? That dude was soooo annoying.
Regarding the rear axle assembly, yes...the hubs are welded on. There is a company in Japan that makes a replacement rear axle/swingarm assembly with ~3 degrees of negative camber. But shipping something that heavy across the pacific will own you...especially just to run some ridiculous wheels.
EDIT...here is the link:

BTW, that Del Sol is undriveable. I spoke to one of the guys at Hybrid Racing about it when I was ordering some parts form my civic swap. Basically the car had to be pushed around for the photos....that pretty much sums up this look. Parked hard and hella-UN-functional.
