This rim is on sale.
looks like this is a good deal.
Will it work on my civic?
and will it look good?
Mine is 2004 silver civic DX model.
4/100-114.3
4/100 is the bolt pattern, what about 114.3?

Go to one of those wheel visualizer sites and try em out, I'm sure you could find another wheel thats amost identical - just a basic 5 spoke with a chrome lip. IMO not bad for the the price but I'd keep looking.

i dont really like those rims. ive never been a fan of kal tire either and i dont think i will ever go there again.
you can find way nicer rims with deals just as good. if you buy a full package it will be way cheaper since you will need to buy tires anyways.

I would advise against it. If you get 18"s you will regret it. Our cars are not designed for large rims. I only have 17"s and hate the ride quality that you get. Like stated above Chrome is very heavy and you will notice a huge difference in the way you car drives especially on the highway. They could also throw your speedometer off if not re calibrated. My advise is to look into a site like http://wheelsnext.com Axis rims are pretty nice and highly recommended.

yeah i would not go bigger than 15s myself. possibly 16s if you feel lucky, but bigger rims put stress on alot of components including the suspension. if it has to work harder, it will fail faster. not to mention, your tiny d17 hamster will have to work overtime to get the car moving. and unless you pay big $$ for forged rims, the larger sizes will be much heavier. and with a thinner tire, you will feel like you are riding on a go-kart. even my 15s with oem tires at 30psi and a 1 inch drop is quite stiff compared to stock. i dont mind it much, but most people that ride in the car comment on how rough it is. i cant imagine it being any worse but with bigger rims it will be. im still shocked how honda thinks they can get away with selling 18s for the newer 8thgen civics. you have to be crazy to put those on.

i have 17 inch rims and they are still pretty light. just depends on how much you are willing to pay. and the stock rims arent that bad and if you wanted to make them look a little better you could paint them until you get new rims.

i didnt pay too much for my rims though. but i can never find them on the internet so i cant show you which ones i got. theyre REV rims 10 spoke gunmetal with a chrome lip.they arent the greatest in the world but they still look good and they are a decent weight. im sure i can find lighter rims but im not gonna pay over a grand for rims just yet.

Well personally i have the 18x7.5" version of Maxxim Knights (http://www.truckmod.com/directpart.a...ber=KN56D04385) and although the ride quality is stiffer, it's not as bad as you would think. My tire profile is 30, so not much meat on the tires, but it looks nice and definitely isn't terribly rough.
