the 170’s are made for the cup cars. Avoid them if you have a c2 if you’re looking to have a nice lip.
Looking good. Is a 2.5 inch lip bad? What are your offsets and tire sizes?

Had a good laugh recreating a "tiktok trend" from I think last summer - "girlfriend's not home... polish the tequipment exhaust tips in the sink"

Bought my car with a dented driver's side tip, recently learned that there was a better OEM option (these EP4110's, X54 option code), and found a killer deal on eBay for $110 that I couldn't pass up. Can't wait to get these on.


Before

After some wheel cleaner, Mother's polish, and a sacrificial sponge

bad as in bada** than yes. The wheels look absolute money and imho perfectly flush all the way around.
Based on the chart below it's 37.2 with what i built. With the metal/rubber gasket that number should be a couple mm off.
Tires are exactly whats on my Techno Sports
Michelle Pilot Sports 4S
Fronts are 245/40/18
Rears are 295/30/18

New England was gorgeous today. Woke her up from the winter sleep today and washed her. Drove a mile and said "**** - are the dryer sheets still stuffed in the engine compartment?" Phew - no problem after an inspection. Took the wifey on a backroad trip. What a joy after driving my Outback for the winter. So solid.

Great in the snow. Had my 2002 for 17 years before I finally gave it up last year...needed head gaskets, a rear subframe, and the transmission was slipping at 264k...

Installed some new pedals. Took me a while to find the right screws to use to make it look like a part of the pedal.
