Hell muh fuccin NO are you crazy? i mean some of them look pretty good but those that you choose are just not right!!

plus there 17's !! with chrome i say go bigger like 19's at least!! but the design on those rims would look terrible....less spokes and thinner spokes are better like TOOLOWCIVIC now that is a good example of chrome rims on a civic but his is silver!!

but you gotta civic? what other look is there?

the look like the chrome rims on Caddys and Roadmasters and stuff?

I mean it's a civic though and i haven't seen to many other looks with them and the ones i do see with that "other" look are

and also you asked on basically a "import site" so i thought you were going for that !

What happened to you and an F-body?

Anyway, those rims would look good if they were bigger and on an Escalade, but not that small - and not on a Civic.

don't worry bout what other peeps say. I like them and i love chrome rims. I have white rims on my car now and the next wheels i buy will be chrome. I'm not after the so called "fast" look or "sport" look, i am more the bling bling type. But i do agree, go for 18's at least, especially with only a 1.5" drop.

i could afford a f-body today but im about done paying the civic and i want to enjoy not having a car bill for a while and my civic has been good to me. i know its not much perfromance wise but i knew that when i bought it. next car = undecided, im looking into g35 , used zo6 , evo 8 , deville , and of course a ws6

u shouldn't scrape on 18's unless u get into some serious dips in the road (mainly intersections), but for as ride, it all depends on what for suspension u get.

no civic can ever be a bling bling civic.

if u want the bling, go buy a truck or suv

i love the bling, just not on a honda. chrome rims look tight, most of em got the gangsta look to em, but if u get the right ones and size they'll look tight on a civic.

also, ur not going for the 'import look' yet ur gonna get the 1.5 drop?

#3 is the tuner look you say you don't like, but I think they look great.

My neighbor has a 2000 or so V6 accord sedan in white that has rims like the second ones in chrome, and I think it looks really classy. If you insist on chrome rims, those are definately the ones to go with.

ChromeBoyz

Hey whats up guy if you like the chrome look dude get the chrome on your civic no matter what these other knuckle heads say thats your car and sometime the import scene gets old and you vere away from it. You may come back eventually but for the time being if you want the chrome look go for it. Me myself i am tired of the import racing look why cause these civics are not fast they are about style honestly who you going to beat in a 7thgen. I am going the same route you are i plan to put 20s but may settle for 19s with the screens and a system plus i just bought a tahoe and will be putting 22s on it. All my buddies here in the waco area are fixing to go to the chromeboyz on the civics. Why not if you can do it go for it i have change my 7th gen around several times and i have only had it 2 yrs. I spent alot of money on wheels body kits carbon hoods. Now i have all this stuff just setting around not on my car anymore. Go for it dude skies the limit you dont have to be like everyone else be a trendsetter i like to pull off the impossible
