Personally I don't like them, but it's not my call is it? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I checked out the link and only 2 wheels look decent. That one and the AR-17. Still not what I like.

One other comment... Those seem like wheels you'd put on a domestic. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

If you like them... go for it man. With a question like this, you are bound to get alot of negative feedback, mainly because everyone has their own personal preferences. I don't think they look that bad, but look at it this way, you would probably be the only one on the site with them if you do decide to buy them.

Of course, you could always go get some R H's, Konigs, ect... which are all very nice wheels, but they tend to be the norm these days. Get what you like man, you'll be happier in the long run.

They aren't too bad.. but lasy I checked AMerican racing doesn't make rims with the right offset for imports.. Better call them to be sure it's a 40mm offset for the 17's.... The rims aren't too bad.. I can see them on a civic...

Cheers

Think Mohawk's right about the offset. American racing rims aren't usually found on import cars. I'd suggest you check out a set of Konigs or enkei tuning rims if you're looking for that look. It's not exactly my taste (I actually like a little MORE bling than that), but it's not about me, young Saiyajin, you have to do YOU. That's just my interpretation, but Idunno: YOU be the judge. . .

Don't listen to anyone. Dude, it's your car. Be different and put on what you like no matter what. If people don't like it, f*ck em. When it comes to your car, It's all about you .

Don't listen to the other guy. U can be different and look good and u can be different and look like crap. Those rims are not for a civic and they are probably heavy as hell. DO NOT BUY THEM!! I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THEM!!!

America racing is crap. They would look good on a 87 IROC. Get some real rims, not the cheap ones. Remember, you get what you pay for.
