    Budget conscious wheels... are they worth it?

    Nice video. Reminded me of watching How It's Made on the Science Channel. lol. I guess I was asking more about the "cheaper" wheels that are closer to each other. The Rays are surely to outdo the other (especially in price). I was thinking more along the lines of wheels no more than 300$...

    Budget conscious wheels... are they worth it?

    I'm sure this is a question we have all asked at one time or another. But in today's world of technology and improved machining methods, is it still a valid one? I see that there are A LOT of wheels to choose from nowadays, from many companies and they range in price greatly. I also notice the...

    Interesting. SO what does that mean for ride quality? Better, worse?

    roadmagnet springs 2012 civic

    If I may ask, what are "progressive" springs? I have always heard good things about Eibach springs regardless of the car they go on. I just need super good ride quality still. I really want to get ready of the off road look, but the ride is more important and I will stay this way if it will be...

    Do you know which of the 8th gen were known for the best ride quality? Kinda sucks to have to spend extra 35$ for old isolators.

    I guess after. The "proper way". I can't compare the inproper ones. If you know about another brand, I'm game to know about them as well.

    Ok, so I have been reading and reading the tread till now. It's like a soap opera, I love it! Lol. Anyways, what's the ride quality like in comparison from the stock setup? I want to lower the car, but do not want sacrifice ride quality and deal with loud interior rattles, noises, etc. I just...

    Wheel ID anyone?

    Definitely seems worth it to have 2 sets all together (or just one, lol). Only need TPMS programming and a little elbow grease.

    TPMS sensor meltdown

    From the beginning of reading this thread, all I could think was that there should be a way to have a duplicate sensor that would mirror the factory ones and that the ECU would be none the wiser. Guess that's what the Bartec would kinda do. I'm system admin (IT), so it made sense in theory...

    Wheel ID anyone?

    Oooh. I thought you meant having them reprogrammed after I swapped them back onto other rims, not that each set needs programmed. That stinks. Which in reality, wouldn't it cost to have the rubber flipped back and forth as well?

    Wheel ID anyone?

    I do like the stock wheels, and yes I would just keep them for a winter set. The salt and potholes around here are vicious. So I would buy new tires for a second rim set. And like you mentioned, another one time fee of $130 extra for another TPMS on the second set would have to be paid for...

    Wheel ID anyone?

    Yes, that makes sense. I guess I was really thinking that out with the speedometer issue. I would like some comfort for sure. I just traded in my KIA Forte for that exact reason. The suspersion was so stiff, it was unbearable. The car rattled apart. The Civic Si ride is so soft in comparison. I...

    Wheel ID anyone?

    I have seen those ride many times. I was in love with those Rotiform's.... till I saw the price. I also believe that there is drop on the Tenji. I would love to see 19's on the stock springs. The Fox Marketing car is bad *** too. I was also in love with the 20" Vossen's, untill I checked the...

    Wheel ID anyone?

    Ah cool. If that was the specif size of the wheels on the car pictured above, then that's good. I was hoping they were not 19in for reference on my car. There is a lot of rubber and still a big gap. Thanks! P.s. - - - Does anyone have any good shots of this rim as 19inch on 2012 Civic Si or...

    Wheel ID anyone?

    I do not see that user, jmurry192, on this site. Is that from another site? I wanted to ask what size wheels those are? I am looking to got to 19inch from the stock 17inch to fill the gap a bit better.

    Wheel ID anyone?

    Your awesome and that was freaking FAST! Thanks a bunch. P.s., are the wheels any good? I'm not really a racer, so super light weight is not a great issue. I do live where potholes are abundant too.

    Injen Intakes 2012 Civic Si Update - Email & Dyno

    Hello All, Just got my 2012 Si Saturday. Traded in my 2011 Forte Sx. It was a great car, parts were well built feeling (except the ride quality), lots of features and little things that I really miss right now.... but the suspension was HORRIBLE. So, so tight. So loud to hit bumps. Interior...
