Hey

I was curious about these wheels and wondered if anyone could I.D. them for me!

Thank you

rota slipstreams

Thanks guys

Either spoon sw88 or close to near replicas.

could be spoon or rota Slipstream Wheels

do you happen to need a set in 15x7 5x114.3? i have a mint set for sale. flat black too! :awesom:

slip streams.

Sw338s have a single lug pattern, the wheels pictured are four lug universal.

another noobish question regarding the wheels.

I've got a fully stock 95 Civic SI coupe and wanted to install coilovers or lowering springs with those wheels.

I'm very new to modding so I'm using those posted images as a goal for my own civic.

any suggestion for lowering kits (to look like the posted civic)
as well as proper wheels/offsets

:)

Depends on budget.

Progress CSII are a good option, $580 for adjustable height coilovers that perform fairly well. Koni yellows with ground control coils if you can push you budget closer to $900.

15"or 16" wheels, with a +35 off-set would serve you well.

go with coilovers for sure.

either a full coilover set or something like koni shocks + ground control coils

Thanks for the suggestion! (The thank option is not appearing at the moment.)

I know its an old car but I've always had a thing for this civic.

I have koni yellow + ground controls on my EF and coilovers on my EK. if you're looking for height and dampening adjustment on a budget, i'd go with the Koni/GC combo. both have lifetime warranties as long as you still own the car. You might also want to consider some of the lower end skunk2 coilovers.

Since your new to modding honda's I would suggest going with something a little more "classic" in the rim department.... Motegi MR7's are an awesome wheel just make sure you get them in 18". http://registry.gmenthusiast.com/ima...tbutr/car2.jpg

Also you don't need coilovers. 99% of people with coilovers NEVER adjust them after they put them on their car and only get them to say they have them. You can get the same drop and handling with just springs for a fraction of the cost.

Berz out.

Not to mention, they probably don't even know how and what to adjust.

+1 on the Ground Control spring and Koni shock/strut setup. The springs are matched according to the shock/strut. You can change the spring rates and valving on the shocks later on if you wish. No sweat off your back plus it's an excellent entry level suspension to learn on.

awesome posts guy honestly.

Appreciate it

I guess its time for some ebay shopping :fullofwin:

Try forums first. People will sell their setups every now and then.

If you go for the Ground Control setup, pick up the phone, talk to their reps. They are very knowledgeable and you can learn a lot from them before you buy.

I'm leaning towards the ground control setup with the koni shock/strut.

any reps/stores/sponsors you recommend?

thmotorsports, I've ordered from them before, excellent customer service, fast shipping and very low prices. Pm them on h-t and they'll give you their current pricing.

If Rich@GarageFive or any of the other local shops can supply at the same price I'd obviously order from them.

After you have these installed, you should look into getting a rear sway bar, they're a big handling improvement on fwd cars.

Valid point on the adjustability I dont think it's 99% but yea I would agree that most people are too lazy or inexperienced to touch their coils after install, but I disagree with the handling comment..

You just can't get coilover performance by simply putting lowering springs on your oem struts.... the aftermarket spring you're putting on your oem strut has different spring rates and height which wasn't designed to go hand n hand with the settings of your oem struts and their dampening settings....
Yea you get the drop but you also get stuck with improper combination of spring rates and strut dampening making the car either too bouncy or too stiff.

If he just wants a drop and doesnt mind the shitty non-adjustable ride go with springs, if he wants a drop with proper settings that he can adjust accordingly, get coils..... I just wanna get across that he should NOT expect "the same" performance from after-market springs/oem struts vs a full coilover setup, they are two almost completely different beasts, literally a night and day difference in your car's handling and road response

Do it once, do it right.
i had a civic with only springs and stock shocks...It rode like ass.
IMO shell out a little more and you will get a better experience.

I meant springs with the proper shocks as well. Getting the shocks to accompany the springs is vital to proper handling characteristics.

Coilovers are also nice for people that are picky with stance. It's nice to be able to tweak your ride height to what you want exactly. Also, if you plan on using the car through winter, it's nice to be able to just crank the wrenches a bit to fit your winters and get some more ground clearance.

My first car I bought H&R sport springs and put them on stock struts. It was lower but not as low as I wanted. My next car I bought just Skunk2 coils and put them on stock struts. They were great for picking the height I wanted but were very bouncy. My next car I put Yonaka coilovers/struts on. They were height adjustable but not dampening. I sold those and bought Buddyclub Racing Spec coils/struts. Fully adjustable but ride was very raw and more competition oriented. Now I have Skunk2 Pro C's and I like them the best. Fully adjustable and more of a compromise between track and road. I'm selling them right now since I bought a Lexus and I'm parting my integra out btw. Full coilover FTW.

I'm using spoon wheels as my winter setup :troll:

if you're going to get sway bars as suggest above, you'll have to be careful on what diameter. too large and the subframe will just tear apart. get a subframe brace.

and this is why "on a budget" really never works. you get one thing and you end up getting 20.
