    I like where this is going, maybe a bit lower in the front to get rid of the negative rake look caused by the lower wheel arches in the rear.

      update. Finnally got some summer wheels, couldnt pass up on the retro style even if they are reps. 15x7 et0 gotti j55 reps, 3 in pretty good shape. one is a little rough though. ill refinish them next winter.

      Wheels

      the stock rear inner fenders werent gonna fly with my plans. time to trim, they werent completely cleaned up at the time of the pic. just wanted to take one before i forgot lol.

      Trimmed

      and voila

      well it doesnt sit like it does in the pics above. the rear is about an 1 1/4" higher. the front is the same though. i threw on the 205/60's that i had from my previous set of wheels but they are way to big for how low i wanna run, rears rubbed like crazy, gonna look for some 185/65's im thinking.

      also got some gnarly vibrations at 80-90km/h, they are 5x120 but they didnt have hubcentric rings. this is my first non oem set of wheels so i assume thats the culprit.

      overall im super happy, once i get some smaller tires ill probably start looking for spacers front and rear

      C&C is always welcome, full shoot soon to come

          thanks man, i really appreciate it. this whole process reignited something inside me (i was considering selling it), kinda like that same excitement i had when i bought the car, but x100 lol, i cant stop smiling when im driving this thing now, i feel like a little kid.

          anyway, took some better pics after i washed it today and went for a drive. hopefully i can find some smaller tires this week to lay it down again. although the rake is growing on me a little bit...

          the lip bugs me with this much rake though, its too low. looks low just for the sake of being low.

                          thanks man! i appreciate the comments from you, im a huge fan of your accord.

                          im thinking a 185/60 will work well, should give me enough to dump the back end down. while still keeping the sidewall height to fill the fenderwells up front.

                            Car looks fantastic! Love the new wheels. That exhaust is looking a bit sad though, my only complaint.

                                I know, it wasnt my first choice but hey, a free muffler is the best kind of muffler (brand new)
