that's what I found in their official site, so is ADR, it's from Taiwan. You have to understand the fact that your wheels DOES sticks out like SUV/truck, that's how they mod it. I didn't say it looks bad , it's looks good. I like the green and black combo. But it stick out man, no matter how you roll your fenders it still stick out. And that's rice, yea, like wanna be civic. You can say my car is rice too, but THAT's what you call JDM. so next time make sure you know where your parts come from before you throw out the jay dee am.

i know who made the wheels, so i know where are they from! thanks for the info tho!
i dont care what people say my car is, they can call it ugly, ricer, or whatever they want, i just think that it is jdm looking!
thatz what i see from a lot of jdm megazine, and im from Hong Kong, thatz how i see the cars there!! maybe im wrong, but thatz how i see it!!
rice/jdm....sometimes they could be the same!

I think it looks pretty good for what they call in Japan "VIP Style". (Super wide rims, with a tire a little narrower so it stretches out, wheel sticking out further than the tire does)
Not my cup of tea, I like the tucked in look, but If You're going for the JDM VIP look, I think you're looking pretty good.

Also: $700? WOW!
It comes to show that by knowing what you want and shopping arround a bit you can look good without having to spend megabucks. (Brand and place of manufacture isn't as important as fit, finish and quality, that's how the sport compact movement started)

Kudos

last time i check i havent seen any civics with wheels sticking out their fenders. can u post a pic of that? u dont need expensive parts to be JDM. just because u put expensive (but ugly) body kits on ur car and running Volks rims doesnt mean ur JDM. anyone with money can do that. its all abt who has the ***** to run wide/aggressive offset rims on their car. have u seen the silvia guys running 18x10 +15 offset w/ 225 tires on their cars, or Evo guys running 18x9 +29(GTR face) Advan wheels on their cars? thats JDM yo! u probably wont know abt that if u dont appreciate his setup. but yeah, get out of ur small world and explore the real world

OK everybody lets quit with all this JDM **** already. Everyone seems to be a journalist here and has their own opinion on jdm this and jdm that, who the hell cares!!! if the man likes his car let him be! To be quite honest with you im not a fan of knockoff wheels or knockoff parts but if he thinks it decently looks good and makes him happy then let him be. Man, alot of you guys are worse than those "JDM" civic owners.

that's gotta be the ugliest setup i've seen, swing and a miss, a sport car should not look like a suv with tires sticking out on the sides, it's not a pretty site, at least not my taste, i think it's tacky. but if you like it then kuddos buddy.
