Default What do you think of this wheel? - Ace RAGE

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/6716/untitled-39.jpg"></center><p>I have Yokohama AVS db on 18" rims. They may be not have the best performance, but I was surprised how much quieter thay are than all other 17" tires I had.

I need to wash my car again - I drove some snow/dirt highway.

Your car looks great! I could do without the spoiler but otherwise a very good look.

Default $231.25 each from salesco.com..

I think car/rims would look better if I lower more (I travel a lot).

If you are not concened about how they perform on the track, I would recommend it. I'm sure BBS's are better/lighter, but they are twice as expensive.

Ace has some more good-looking rims for low budget.

Bought them from Salesco.com. But they are VERY slow/have bad customer service. It took three weeks to get here w/intensive phone calls.<ul><li><a href="http://www.acealloywheel.com">http://www.acealloywheel.com</a</li></ul>

It gets dirty very quick.

Did you notice Avant antenna on the roof?

Default nope, cosmetic only...

I flushed the surface and glued it on the car. It becomes a good accent for the round roof, like IS300 look.

I guess you could put it on for better recepetion if you are patient enough. You have to take out the roof liner then drill a hole on the roof, and re-wire the antenna to the radio... a lot of work.

I know the reception sucks for radio, but I have 20GB MP3 player and hardly listen to the radio.

Default one of the rice boys at my work has them on his honda.

They are nice looking wheels, especially for the price.

It's too bad they were on a civic at the time ;-)
