I'm assuming you agree with me when I say I think the Seibon TS (not II) hood is worth every penny.

nice... looks good on the stormy blue. Got my car back in 05 so they didnt have that color. Black was my favorite so that's what I have now... but when the stormy blue came out I was torn as to which I like more lol. I like the look of the blue more I think, but the black is easier to start a theme with since it's an easier color to match with.

Is this new for the RE30s to come in 19"? For some reason I thought 18" was the biggest they came.

Yeah I thought 18" was the biggest as well? When I was looking for my wheels, and came accross these, 19" wasn't available. Maybe he made a typo?

Looks like they can happen on special order. IIRC most Japanese wheels only get imported for specific applications with minimum sizes so these are probably only available for GBs or special order from Japan. Look great. Hopefully they're real and not knockoffs. If OP paid out the wazoo we'll know.

They do come in 19.. I'll show u another close up pic of the wheel updated w/ new volk racing lug nut... Indeed, I do regret my rush decision taking 'the ready stock' 19x8 w/ +40.. I should actually wait & order the wider and more aggressive offset to flush well w/ the fender (I was told it takes around 4 months to order from Japan)... The good thing is that those wheels r very light.. It weigh around 8.4 kg/ each or around 18 lbs...







Here is another 19" RE30 on Civic Mugen RR in my country

I've wanted bronze RE30's for my BB for a long time, but I convinced myself it wasn't worth the money... and now I see these pics and it makes me want them again I'm toying with the idea of getting Enkei RPF1's and having them powder coated as a slightly cheaper alternative.

Nice looking car Rudi. I love the spoiler... is that the OE euro lip spoiler? Not so sure about the blue lugs though.

Other than that theres no way you wheels are only 7 pounds.. thats lighter than ray's. Still looks good, NOW GET SOME TIRES....

WOOHOO! mine came in today... unfortunately they are at my house and I'm here for college (stupid school!). Hoping to go home soon. Might have to wait a few weeks till I can get tires so wont be mounted for a bit maybe... We'll have to see. I'll get pics up as soon as I get a chance to see them myself lol.

Check back a page. He got the GTF's in a custom color.

Congrats 8 Maniac on the new wheels. Can't wait to see them.
