    after completing my tax return paperwork for this year, i was pleased to see that i can finally afford a new set of rims and tires.:woot: as planned previously, i'm going to get some matte bronze wheels made by MB (A-Tech)...i'll be ordering from Discount Tire's online shop, i've heard plenty of good reviews about them, so I trust that they won't dissapoint. the model of the wheel is going to be the MB Weapon...and I'm just gonna go with Falken Ziex's for now, in a 205/45-16 size (if anyone is more tire size literate and my sizing choice is wrong, please let me know, i'm still a bit illiterate when it comes to this topic)...stock tire size for my year/model civic is 185/65-14...the new shoes are gonna be 16x7 +38mm...too bad they don't do custom sizes and offsets though (i'd like a 16x7.5 up front and a 16x7 out back):) anyway, i'm stoked, cause maybe my Civic will finally start to look a lot nicer this summer. here's what my new rims are going to look like:

    and i'm sure everyone knows what Falken Ziex tires look like...i'm just going with them for now because they are a good affordable all season tread...later on i'll get RT-615's or maybe some Kumho Ecsta MX's.

    Falken Ziex, not too bad of a tread i guess...

    ...and hopefully i can convince panzer_ko to give me his stock 02 EP Si rims, hehehe;) thanks for reading:)

    Of course the Ziex ZE512 low pro is a good tire! I choose only the best for my baby! I absolutley love the improved handling and weight compared to the Firestones that came with the car.

    I already told you the stock EP3 wheels and tires are yours! I just need those Mo's....lol...
