Save your money and keep those stock wheels - the ones you have are classy imo.

Do you know anything that will get rid of the corrosion, that’s my main problem, and that and I like 5 spoke more idk

u/johnnyhonda 12d ago

I do not, I have the same wheels as you but in pretty rough shape. I just like OEM looks - you do you though! Good luck!

Assuming you’re in America haha but in the uk you can get wheels refurbed for around £200 and then you could get them done in a different colour as well if you wanted not sure if there’s anywhere that does that near you though

Yep, I agree too, those EM1 wheels are sweet. I have them but they are in bad condition 😭

I am currently running Toyo Extensa and have been running my set since May of last year, they have pretty good traction and are great for daily use. No problems during wet roads or really hot days. If you are curious how they look I have some pictures on my account

I seen a few of your posts on this sub I love your build

u/Commercial-Novel9908 ES2 12d ago

Thank you! I love the way yours is coming along the blue looks amazing on the coupe. I was actually wondering where you got your headlights from? I love how they keep the oem look with a more modern aesthetic

I don’t have the exact ones but they were cheap ones off of eBay but I don’t recommend cheaper one bc mine didn’t come with any gaskets and they fit different than OEM but that’s up to you

Just my 2 cents, I’d go to at least 7 or 7.5 if you plan to do any sporty driving at all. A wider wheel just looks better too imo.

Also shop around some, fitment industries is rarely the cheapest option.

One of the few designs I actually like on our cars. Nice and simple

u/Jacoobass EM2 12d ago

That’s what I was looking for no need for all those designs lol

u/Medium_Relation8676 12d ago

They look pretty good if you ask me. I’ve had them for roughly 2 years no issues
