not bad, look like something that would be on a bimmer or a mercedes. kinda euro style. they look good though. they are a no name rim and you should have got 19's.

only made in 17's. I know i know...but i wanted something different. and the no name part is true...and i paid for it when the clear coat started peeling...but i've fixed that with a brand new high quality coating so there isnt a problem there. Names dont mean much to me really. As long as it looks good.

thanks though. I really like them and i've had TONS of compliments from people...especially of the female persuasion. And they do look bigger in person...like 18's...
if i can at some point i wanna have customs made to look the same only bigger and with a bigger machined lip.

thanks everyone for no negetive comments. I do really like them i'd i've had some good feedback about them. Yes they are a bitch to clean...road **** gets in all the spokes and the center peice has a mesh grill thats sunken in about 3 inches...it gets loads of crap in it.
I see your point about being more bmw, mercedes, lexus....cuase its a tuner look. But i'm trying to go for the very clean, high class, look. The body kit and other **** that i'm doing to it will really make it match even more.

Thanks again

i was only playing cause u told us not to say that ****. anyway, i have 17's, i wouldnt go any bigger on a civic. 19's are for high end cars and show cars, not a civic. and who cares if they are no name, i havent kept a pair of rims for more than a year and a half yet, so i go through them like i do sneakers. so i dont buy top of the line either if im only using them for a short period of time. i have had motegis (2 different sets) and my new wheels are velox.

I think they look really good. They're kinda my style. I'm into the whole Rally Racing thing, so I say they look good!
