is your concern show or go.. i thinkchrome rims suck.. but thats myopinion because they hinder performance... i went with 15 inch 11lb rims to aid in acceleration..

mines for show bc i dont know how far im goin to go with mods. I have seen alot of street rims that look awesome 17 or 18 inch im leaning towards white.

Like i said tho it is show chrome usually brings out a car but is it good for an import?

Konig Verdicts look good on most civics in 17's and white

my personal opinion that chrome doesnt look good on a "tuner car" they look better as far as "show" is concerned but only on Cadys, Mercedes, and the like. Civics just dont look good with them I think. If youre looking for a nice lookin rim check out Konig Rated R. They come in Silver and in White. The same style is also offered by many manufacturers but also in Gumnetal. Its definately not a flashy style but clean

Discounttire.com has a java program that you can expiriment with different rims and see basically what it looks like. I forget the exact address but if you go there and pick wheels and put in your location it should come on the following page...I think its somewhere in the middle of the page and a little to the left...I think. I got a pic of what youre going to expect from the site. Granted I tweeked this in MS paint but its still the basic layout of the java.

tirerack.com has nice tires and good prices, and allows you to look at your car with those rims, just go to update garage.
