yea they are 17s and no it wasnt a straight trade for the meshies ... i sold those thinking i was gonna get si rims during the same trip then the guy i was supposed to get them from decided to raise the price on me and pull all sorts of shady ish, so i had to ride studded tires for almost 3 weeks till i found these.
aftermarket tails i have because my 94-97s were cracked, i think they look pretty good considering they are just painted altezzas, a lot of people tell me they remind em of the tails on the newer rsx.
tow hitch was one of the first things i did to the car and is here to stay, its better than having the roof rack on top.
