Getting new rims for the Civic....

Don't bother changing the rims. Waste of money IMHO.

You need a large rim, lower profile tire and a drop.

Or

It will always look like shiet.

I'm leaning more towards the black centered ones myself...I'm sorta scared the gun metal grey might be off too much...my car is a grey with a bluish tint....if I knew it would be a real close match I might would go that route....

I would but I know nothing about installing them...I had put nearly $2000 in my suspension on my Focus...Saleen lowering springs...shocks struts...over size sway bars and it rode like crap...bottomed out like the bottom was coming through the car...so I got rid of it taking a major loss...I don't want to screw this suspension up...I use the car mainly to pick up my daughter that lives 4 hours away...or business trips that are far off

You do "out of state shopping cart buys" or something? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I think upgraded wheels will make it look better...I know it would look a lot better with 17's or 18's and a drop...if it was my only car...I might would go that route...I'm just looking to make it look a little bit better

I'm leaning towards the black right now.....

Black.

The only bad thing about it is that everyone has black with a chrome lip these days. But imho it is the best.

I also have a 89 hatch. It doesn't have any speakers in it though. It has a b18c5 and running about 14lbs of boost.

My 00 civic is my daily and I am just starting to build a system. You could get 16's without losing much mpg but I wouldn't go bigger than 17. Honestly though if it is just a daily driver I wouldn't replace them. Sometimes cars looks worse with aftermarket rims if they don't go low pro and drop.

However, if you do it, you can get a pretty penny for those wheels on craigslist.

Won't look any better unless you go bigger tire/rims and a drop.

Why would you care if you only drive it every few months..............

 

[Louisiana_CRX 5,000+ posts]

I may go silver.....that way it won't be flashy and look sorta stock...same design as the black and gunmetal...I'm looking at two wheels trying to decide which one

 

[Ellsworthz 10+ year member]

any updates on that?
