ma ee ya...
Most likely his 7 surpasses a stock Spirit-R's performance, whereas a stock Civic with slapped on Type-R badges certainly won't match performance with the real thing. Just as long as he doesn't try to sell it as a true spirit-r in the future, then no big deal IMO.

r0gu3 has a very strong opinion regarding "real" Spirit R's and "fake" ones.
It really doesn't matter. It's not his car anyway.. lol
spoolin93r1,
Again, it looks fantastic. But the weight of those things is too much. Not to mention the fact you have to roll the fenders to clear those puppies.
I'll be sticking to 17's. And no where near your size rubber. I'll more than likely stick to the stock settings (235's in the front, 255 or 265's in the rear)
I wonder if they come in 17's??

Don't get me wrong, your car looks awesome (but the wheels are too heavy for my taste, I wouldn't mind some SSR Competition 17x9.5 - 15lbs!!!!). I just hold my opinion strongly, and that's all. I'm not really a fan of Efini emblems on USDM cars either. And of course, since I have no taste and like your car, your car must really be a pile of ****.

i got a slight discount because of a local forum, but it isn't much. i'll get the total price when i get back home. i got the wheels, centercaps, and shipping to my door for that cost. they beat the cheapest place i had found by like $60. mvp motorsports was the second cheapest. you'll have to look under supra packages on mvp's site to see the price
