16" or 17" for my Civic?
I dont know if you guys can tell, but it is a slow night here at home. Nothing much to do but chat it up here at HondaStyle. Anyway, I am going to be getting some rims soon, and I heard that 16 or 17's are a good choice for Civics. A friend of mine will sell me 4 white racing rims for 350 and they are 16s...apparently, from what I have heard they are top of the line racing rims and they are a steal at 350. But I was hearing 17's may be better. Anyone have any input?

If you care about speed, get 16s. You will want some lighter wheels, and if those are really top of the line wheels, I'd get those for that price. You can still have a nice handling setup with 16s also.

Go with the 16s, Civics arent designed for such big wheels such as 17s. You can run them, but you get better performance from smaller wheels.

I would go with 17"s because they look better but 16"s would be better for speed (like everyone else has said). But if you do want to go for looks then I would suggest the 17"s. Like the name says hondaSTYLE
just my thoughts |

No tires...
350 for the Rims no tires...I wish it came with the tires. I will have to get them on my own. Anyway, I have decided on my friends 16's.
