This last one is my current favorite, but let me know what you think.

18's are too big, even 17's are kinda big but they will work. If i were you i would save some money and think about getting 17's or smaller.

17's will work fine but whatever you do don't get Falken ziex-512 tires, they suck, nothing but problems. Also don't buy chrome rims, big mistake( i found out the hard way )

Less is more! Except when it comes to spinners. Get some sprewells. And go wild.

What is with everybody and the spinners ,those things are so played out already, nobody has those anymore. Get with the times.

With bigger you get more for the money but they are still more expensive than smaller.

Why don't you like 18s tayler?

I guess 17s are okay, but I wanted to go overboard with the wheels.

Trust me the bigger you go the more problems your going to have. Bigger wheels will put alot of strain on the drivetrain and if you live in an area with bad roads ,forget about it.

I say stick w/ 17's...they give a clean look...not to mention I have seen price differences of $200-$300 just for an extra in. to 18's...and like tunerx said...it starts to put alot of strain on the car after 17's....you would probably want to have an upgraded suspension too...(unless you already have upgraded suspension and the money then i would stick w/ 17's)

I agree. 18s are overboard. Go with the 17s.

Anyone heard about those airless tires? Michellin or someone has invented them, but they are real heavy. They probably wont be on cars for 10 years, but they are pretty cool.

Well I live in SoCal and a lot of the roads suck. The money is not an issue. I could afford a very expensive car if I wanted to, I prefer playing with my civic, so I can afford the best for it. I just like the look and it makes me standout a bit.

Is there anything I can do to reinforce the drivetrain to make the 18s more worthwhile? I would even consider replacing it altogether if that made a difference. I really want to get 18s.

You would probably have to reinforce your suspension somehow( antiroll bar ,strut tower brace , something) and you would probably have to get heavier duty axles and steering knuckles. I think that's right I could be wrong.

Which ones will you get, the black, silver, chrome or gun metal?

I like the black ones on a black car but I think silver would look awesome too.

The ones my friend is selling are gun metal....but I can always have them powder coated black....

The gunmetal is nice, I would leave them like that

I like them too.

I like chrome too, as long as they arent too over the top.
Those wheels would look nice in chrome.
