T1R S-Coils and 15x6.5 Flik Blasts/Slips with a 40 offset. Had 17x7 Enkeis with a 42 offset and 215/45s and it rubbed like a sonofabitch.

Are those the Enkeis in your sig?

Slipstreams look good.. What size tire are you running now?

Those 15's look really nice. Maybe it's the angle of the picture that makes it look 'flush' (can't think of a word that describes it)

The fronts are pretty flush. I originally had Buddy Club SF's in 15x6.5 but traded them for the 17's when I got bored with them. Sold the 17's and bought the rotas cheap. They have dunlop direzza DZ101s in 205/50/15. No rubbing at all and plenty of grip.

I'm loving the slipstreams...I was *this* close to buying myself a set.
Got something else instead but I still think fondly about the slips.

A dumb question but I do not know. The center caps on these steelies. Are they a stock item or aftermarket? I have steelies for my winter tires and would like a set of these caps. If aftermarket where did you get them?

Nice black diffuser

Thanks

Your speedometer is quite a bit off the actual speed according to the tire size calculator. The diameter difference is also about 3.92%.

Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing

You should've gone with 195/55/15 or 205/55/15 IMO.

Doesn't bother me, and if anything I'm going slower than my indicated speed. I got the wheels and tires for a dumb price so I cannot complain.

I had a set of slipstreams on a Civic I had 3 or so years ago but they were stolen the first day I had them on my car. I know they are somewhat "played out" but I like the way they look and that is all that matters to me.

Looking at them they seem similar to whats on a friend's 89 Civic hatch..

It would be nice to get some centers.. the wheel covers look like ass!

I got a set from an '89 Civic that I use on my winter steelies. Any centre caps from any old 4x100 Honda will work (all have 56.1 mm bore).

Edit: Beat me to it. ^

Thanks for the notice! I picked these up on ebay. Just search honda center cap. I think these were for a late '80 accord, but they fit fine. There are some subtle differences between the various caps out there, but I liked these because they had an extra little stripe where some are a bit more plain.
