My boyfriend has 18" chrome rims that he doesnt use on his car because the lug pattern is different and he wants to give them to me, but i dont know if they would look ghetto on my 03 4dr civic any suggestions? Thanks

Post pics.. as long as they arent spinners or some horrible design. Just start thinking of some small tires and a nice rough ride. :X

I had 18" Enkei's on my car when I first got it... Changed to 15" and wont ever go higher than a 16" but of course I beat on my car sooooooo....

well thanks for the advice, I actually wanted something less flashy like gun metal or something to that effect if anyone knows what the stock 07 si rims look like those are the ones I love. I asked my boyfriend if I could paint the chromes and he about killed me lol I guess I'll just have to keep looking but I dont really want to spend to much on rims. anyway thanks

I like some chrome rims. For example, my dad drives a 07 cadillac DTS with cadillac chrome 18" wheels. They look good and not ghetto.

I guess it depends on the rim style. Some styles are made to look "mean", or "player"

Yeah I know what you mean, well he used to have like a 96 civ he had them on and it didnt look bad, and he made a valid point that if I dont like them I could always take them off lol

yeah well the cadillac and the chrystler 300...big cars like that can look good with big chrome rims.

I guess the consensus on the rims is a no, by the way gearbox I happen to think civics are nice cars well does anybody know where I can get a cheaper set of rims? Preferably gun metal.
