the reps are the same from a distance when ur close to the real ones there better the rears are embosed with mugen too. also fitting kit seems better on the genuine ones
mine has bc coils skunk upper arms j's racing rolew center ball joints bigger arbs and rear camber handles well had evo 8s befor with 45 was good the 35s just seem like its rim on road
agreed 8j et35/40 is good
only reason i have the 9j and that tire is because it cam up at good price and they fitted.
woulkd i buy another set like that prob not next set will be down to 17s prob 8j et35ish with a good 225 tire
my ones are painted black was all stripped apart when car was painted. down fall of paint is the can scratch im planning on having them wrapped as it looks cleaner than plastidip
ignore millage if its got good history and had good service honda engines are very good if looked after they can take a lot but when there neglitced they can cause issue
fuel prob wont change to much and if it did it may even get better as u diont have to drive it as hard. not sure about clutch but brakes should be fine as you said you dont drive overly fasty so should be fine.
Sure u get a surround that takes away the bottom cubby hole and u can fit stereo there I'd love to have a custom one made to keep the ac/heater controls
Think the costs vary depending on area as well as a few local places central Scotland was 150-200 for a set extra ten per wheel to remove and refit tires.
But for that money in mint condition is still good even getting a set for 200 and then 200 to refurb. Still less hassle mate
