Hey guys,

I am thinking of getting these wheels on my new 2000 black civic. I wanted 18"s but decided 17"s would be way less of a hassle how do you guys think they will look?!?!

94_AcCoRd_EX · 01-31-2002, 02:45 PM

I think they could look pretty nice. I'd stick with 17s on a Civic IMHO. 18 is just a little too big. Big wheels slow you down, which is a bad thing. How much do these wheels weigh?

*Whtehnda93DXSdn* · 01-31-2002, 03:50 PM

they don't look bad IMO.....I would also say 17's

Get them if you like them..It's your ride.

Pretty Decent what color car do you have? What offset do they come in?

01-31-2002, 07:19 PM

My car is a black 2000 civic. I think the offset is +45 but that is just from memory.

If thats the case you should be in good shape..

4jacks · 01-31-2002, 09:02 PM

NO !! 18's!!! 18's!!!

Screw it! 20's!!!!!! You need no rubba !! 20's!!!

Just my wheel opinion... BIG and SHINY!

Either way, they'll be sweet

Peace,

Any reason in particular why you picked those??

Cause in that same style, there are nicer wheels..

uHHH No....IMHO 17's are the way to go on a civic.....you don't need to go redicliously big...

I agree, if you're willing to shell out a little more cash, you might be happier in the long run. Look for some light wheels.

18's on a daily driven civic is A) going to make you slower B) probably going to rub like hell C) make your car sit ridiculously high D) look very out of place if you are lacking fender flares.

Yeah their is a TEG running around here on 18's with everything else stock and big tires...looks retarded.

02-02-2002, 04:08 PM

shoot, i already have a gsr engine in my EG but will never go bigger than 16's... but i guess it's your car so do whatever you wanna do w/ it...just a reminder coz i've been there before and i regret it!

02-02-2002, 07:27 PM

Swift why do you regret having wheels larger than 16"s...Is it because of the slow acceleration?? I figure its better in the long run any ways because I have the worst luck with speeding tickets

02-02-2002, 08:31 PM

i regret it because i spent $1600 on them and didnt do anything to the performance of the car...that was before when i was always focusing on things that would make my car look good.. now im all about performance and weight reduction since im running an all-motor car..
oh, and speeding is all about discipline...it has nothing to do w/ acceleration...even a semi can go 80mph on a 55mph zone... so if you dont have luck w/ speeding tickets, i suggest you get a radar...the one i have has an outside antenna..it works great!

4jacks · 02-04-2002, 04:21 PM

NO, I wish I had 18's ... I have 16 Chromes sitting in my Garage, Dont fit on my Civic... I just sold my Probe...

I can't imagine there Being a Really Huge Difference Between 17" and 18" .... Granted you have to buy a more expensive low profile tire, but that should keep the Diameter within reason, so your not sitting up to high. As for the width ... Some 18"s still come in 7" wide... but you still might need a fender tuck... but that's not bad.... As for Weight .... SCREW IT, BUY CHROME !!!

And Swift's right 16" is optimal for speed... i read it in SCC couple months ago . But I had the 16" chrome on my Probe and the only thing I could think is ..... "Next time I spend That much money ... I"m buying 20"s "

oh yeah, they have 22's now in chrome...super shiny and they only weigh like 35lbs. each... man, those wheels would be cool on a probe!

4jacks · 02-05-2002, 07:03 PM

Oh my Goodness...

I don't know what has gotten into Me, Thinking Big and Shiny was the way to Go...... All this Time I've Been reading SCC and Thinking those Cars with the Big shiny Wheels looked good. NOW I See the Light !!! I Can See Clearly the Rain Has Gone! Thank the Lord.....

Well I'm off to Go buy some Plaid Khaki's and Striped Shirts!
Thanks Again,
