yo man i have a 97 civic ex with the same wheels and trust me it looks sweet, sorta spoonish without all the money i got them in 15's and because the idiots at the shop put them on regular tires not low profiles i had to lower it and im glad i did. BUt anyway id definatly go for it just remember the low profiles. Later

Low profile tires???
I cant lower my car for a really long time, no money:no:

[NCSTYLE]

ya low profile tires are just like regular tires but they are small in thickness so if you get them you wont need to lower your car right away.

Those rims look great, and are really nice for the money. I'd go for the 16s on a Civic. As for the low profile tires, they are just a bi-product of plus sizing your tire/rim combo. If you get larger rims, you'll need smaller profile tires. This is due to the fact that you want your overall diameter of the combo to stay the same as stock. This will keep the same g/r and speedo reading.

Well i just bought them. MR7s in gunmetal. I went ahead with the 17s. They should be on it a week. I hope i made the right choice. Thanks everyone.

bro, MR7's come in different offset. any offset below 40 may give you problems once you lower your car. BTW, i love those rims along with the MR12's...............in 16's tho....

you may say that you're not gonna lower your car now.....but trust me, you'll get hooked to this stuff and will eventually lower it. springs are getting cheaper these days;) ;)

congrats on the new purchase...they should look good on your ride. Share pics once they come in so we can admire then on your car...:yes: :yes: :yes:

I just spent around 1000 dollars on 17s and new tires, lol, dont be telling me i shoulda got 16s now. This post needs to start making me think i made the right decision. I cant regret that big of a purchase, lol.
Thnx

no! 17" are great, it will look fine. don't worry in the end its what u think that matters

[Wren57]

I got 16s on my Toyota Highlander... wish I had gotten 17s, if not 18s... I love the look of the rims, real highquality look for a nice price... selling the highlander soon tho, so gotta get rid of the 16" rims... wonder who will buy them... hmmm...

[thermal]

no man, do not get me wrong. 17's actually look better, IMO......... i had a set of 17's before and i honestly think that it looked better........

Will this help you think you made the right decision? This is my Si with 17" Gunmetal MR7s..

When you lower your car, go with about .75"-1.25" drop. Unless you have good roads around or don't do much driving. I had Eibach Sportlines (1.7" drop) and it would rub on sharp turns. I drive alot so that had to be changed....:cool:

I am getting the motegi MR-7's in 18's. I fell in love with these rims when i saw them at pep boys. They are tight plus they are cheap. I have a sivler car so i think i will go in silver instead of gun metal. Any suggestions. Plus I was wondering if anyone had pics of their car sitting on these rims besides CivicAddict. By the way. tuight ride.:yes:

[Civicfrenzy]

I will try and get picks of mine up soon, they are 17s though and also in gunmetal (basically the same as civicaditcs) but u might still want to see them. Good Luck with ur purchase.

The only problem with getting those rims.. Is the fact you will want to drop that sucker ASAP! :D

The rims will look nice..:yes:

BTW.. Civic Addicts pics dont do that car justice.. It looks way better in person..:yes:
