I need new wheels
ok I need new rims and tires and I have been looking for the past few weeks and I cant decide what kind of rims I should get and size 16 or 17, its for a 00 civic 2 door silver, this should probably be in the tire section but nobody goes there, can you please give me some opnions or pictures please thanks
|
search:yes:
anyway, i don't think anybody should go bigger than 16's on a civic (and many will agree i'm sure). |
^I agree :)
anything over 16" just looks funny. |
if you want a few sites:
www.wheelguyz.com www.wheelmax.com (i've heard bad news about them.) www.ebay.com |
I think 17's look fine on a civic, if your car is lowered it will look good, It's just personal preference I almost bought 16's and was glad I didn't because I think they would have looked to small. I guess it depends on what style of car your trying to build If you plan on doing a body kit 16's will look to small. Then again I've seen civic's with 16's that look realy good.

:rolleyes: i've seen civics with 15's that look good...
you can just put on a real meaty tire so you can get some killer holeshot traction |
when you search for like rims or wheels so much crap comes up
|
You know I have to say 16" max.
What styles are you interested in? Colors? How much do you want to spend? Have you thought about a set of oem wheels? (Integra mesh, blades, si) Theyre all 15" - that means cheaper tires and quicker acceleration (I really noticed the difference when I went from 14->16s) |

word look into a set of gsr fat fives or something |
if you are not into straight line speed you can go with 17's. they hold a lot better in turns. if straight line speed is your thing get some light ass 14's
|
ya see I have 4 pretty new 17" tires sittin in my garage but I like 16 for them being safer (bigger tire), I live in pot hole city um.. I mean new york city
how do you like these 16" in silver, these are suposted to be white or these 16" |
I like the top ones better
|
heh, i like the bottom ones better
|
have you looked at rota's?
|
do you have any websites???
|
|
Iv seen those rota knockoff's on ebay, I think they look to cheap
|
yet you think 5zigen and arospeed are something great :D
|
there still not forged but I dont have $1000+ for rims asscivic
|
these just plane look like garbage
|
wow... go sell your car and walk... you have no taste....:rolleyes:
but hey it's ok we still like you:yes: ... maybe... :confused: ROTA Slipstream = :thumbsup: |

not sure what you're trying to say sucksoncones... |
u get whatever u want, but i say stick with 16s, i think they are better all around. if u r more into show i say get some 17s
|
I don't like how those rims look they are plain and ugly, mabye if I has some sick type r BS integra jdm shit and a black car and those rims in black then they would look good, but I want a rim that looks nice on my stock silver civic get what Im saying
|
you do know thats only one of quite a few designs they have right?
|
yeah, i still think rotas are ugly as shit. all of them.
i think centerline makes some nice ass wheels forged and light, but they are pricy too. about 1200 for a set of 4. |
so if Rota's look like other wheels then those wheels look like shit too?
|
pretty much
|
yup^ lol go with 17's man...good handling... looks good..should fit...or a light weight wheel if ur into racing lots...
|
yeah a lightweight wheel that looks like a wheel that cost several hundreds more(mugen). geee, what are all the people w/ rota's thinking???
i guess if it aint the real shit ya'll wont roll 'em in your hard core early box style accords. |
Oh no...Rota hatin. I gotta defend:
Theyre definately good wheels w/ lots of selection, all in a variety of colors. Rota does an EXCELLENT job of replicating the more expensive wheels (Volk,Mugen,Spoon,etc). Sure, theyre heavier than the originals, but theyre no where near as heavy as some of the others out there. Just check out the selection http://www.rotawheels.com/our_wheels.htm 90% of them are available in black, silver, white, 2 bronzes, gunmetal, and different lip styles (polished/painted). I hate it when people say "Oh replicas suck" Sure, a lot do...but there are also lots of exceptions. My c8's are replicas. They look and work great. Im very happy w/ them. My side mirrors are repicas too. I didnt have to rewire them or get custom glass. My rear spoiler is also a replica. Its identical specs and looks just fine...even bolted to the factory location w/o ANY issues. Fog lights? Ditto If you dont like em, thats cool. Thats your thing. Just dont say theyre crap.....theyre far from it. |
i dont HAve rims Yet lol and if i would buy something..it would Mr7's.. Y? damn cheap these days and still look DECent.....and the day i can get Mugen stuff ...wow i won the lotto...

i think that [page is grossly outdated. i haven't seen a store selling rota competitions yet. and the subzeros are allright looking. and can't forget the machspeed, but that's an exclussive wheel |
i like the slipstreams, they are plain and simple, and that is why i like them!!
|
I got my new wheels about a month ago. I got them from www.discounttiredirect.com i get a excellent deal on them free shipping, and the customer service was excellent. I highly recommend this place A++
