It's the "GHETTO CAB" look. I belong to that forum too.

No such thing for this car. If they had 'em, I'd have 'em.

That's right cuz of the high offset...

Absolutely. Drove my Prelude SH through everything. Couple of minor rock chips on the leading edge of the car (didn't have clear bra like on the S) otherwise you wouldn't know I even drove it in the winter. Yeah the wheels on the S might get a few marks (the one or two I have are MAYBE a millimeter in diameter and I only noticed when washing the car) but that's one reason why I want a set of wheels for summer and another for winter. Why keep it parked for 6 months a year just so the next guy gets a SLIGHTLY "cleaner" car? Snow doesn't hurt it. Salt washes off. Corrosion is a non-factor considering I'll only have the car for maybe 5 years before something else tickles my fancy. Rock chips? If I worried about rock chips, I'd get to drive the car from mid-June until mid-October.

I bought the car to drive it.
