I didnt know all that. I remember the debate of him choosing who he sold them to, if he didnt want you to have them he wouldnt sell them to you. As for shipping, I just spent $200 on shipping for my SSR's.

And $150 for Hx's...... Damn do I hate FL.
People here must think theyre hardcore JDM or something. Ive never seen a set go for less than $200. And thats beat up.

I can see where supply and demand would drive up the price on these. In Houston you can pick them up at junk yards for cheap. So let's say that Mikow bought and sold them for the same amount and that's what they go for in Cali. You can't argue the fact that he was deceptive when he stated that tread was 85% without letting my friend know that two tires needed to be replaced. I've bought a few things on these boards and a crap ton of stuff online in general with good outcomes, but I will NEVER buy this guy. If the transaction would have been face to face he couldn't have hid the fact that two of the tires where trash.

Now let's come off this subject and keep my thread from being so negative. Let's keep this in PM's.

I really like how those HX's look on your car. do they fit the car fine, and do they come with the same height as stock or does it depend on the tire?

They are 14's and I have to run 5mm spacers. I like them a lot. Their just a pain to keep clean.

I went to my local Fast Signs and had them make me red Honda logo stickers that were the same size as what's in the center cap. Well it come out real close but not close enough so they gave me a sheet of brushed aluminum (if that's how you spell it) and I basicly made my own stickers out of that. I had to trim it up nice and make the logo center. I spent $25 and I got twenty logo's and the sheet. I wasted about five or six logo's on not having them centered. All in all I was real pleased on how they came out. And thanks for the compliment on my past wheel selections.

I know I know. Do you like my cheap-o floor mats? I picked them up from autozone and cut them to fit over my friends OEM floor mats.

I love your car man. So nice rocking the HXs.

Tip for night shots, white lighting makes night pics. Try finding a spot that lights up white for night shots, it will make your BBP look amazing

Technically you don't need that much more lighting then normal. Just set your camera for a longer exposure and play around with the length of it.

Btw what exactly did cross-threading the mugen lugs do?

Made it un-repairable. I tried the tap and die and it didn't work out. So now I gotta either paint my OEM nut black and hope no body notices or just go OEM lug nuts all the way around. I already replaced the wheel stud. That SUCKED!!

Boy will you be happy! Well maybe....

Honda makes oem black lug nuts. They were available on certain years of the nsx(can't remember) and also for the new s2k cr. Best of all they will actually hold your rims properly!
