Lol yes Moonrock is nice, too bad never offered here.

Anan, yes, for model year 08 and 09 Honda replaced silverstone with Chicane Silver. It's basically a darker silver than silverstone, but not by much.

yeah Moon Rock would have been nice if offered here!

Side note, Is it just me or does moving from a 16" wheel to a 17" wheel take some of the peppyness out of the car. To mee It feels like some of that is gone going to a 17" wheel.

i like the v3 wheels. they look awesome. Ahem* Ira lemme have yours Ahem* LOL.

i think 17 look much better then 16. I rolled around in 16 for almost a year, turn to 17 and it look pretty nice.

Wow im getting tired of waiting for my SBC RPF1's.... 5 month's is a bit late since they were supposed to be delivered to me a long time ago. Plus I just noticed my tires are starting to get close to being bald.

Just wanna say thanks to Aaron for giving me some advice on how to drive in snow on the pass. Completely different ball game then flat ground lol. . Yes I went top down. But not for long had to slow down due to star spec tires.

But I made it here to baker city..... Beautiful

slightly more wheel weight, wider tire = more drag/friction. I'm not sure how much of a larger rotational diameter there is on the 17s, but if it's even just a little bigger you're essentially altering your gear ratio.

Put in some 3.56s and you will be ok
