so i'm thinking of getting these wheels

instead of speed masters (they don't actualy weight 10.5 lbs), but what would be a better offset +35 or +41, since they're a 7 inch wide rims..

thanks...

its a good racing wheel. especially the 15X7, Very popular in spec Miata racing.

those are nice...maybe I will steal that idea from you! muhahaha. I am not sure about the offset....maybe boilermaker would know

Exclusively for racing, 35mm (unless you run a stock class). Wider is better. For double duty, 41, but verify with Enkei beforehand that the calipers clear. There are issues with a lot of cars (Minis, ITRs, Miatas, WRXs, and more) have caliper-spoke collisions with the stock size diameter. The spokes are thick and curl in at the lip... it causes problems. Find a place that stocks them and check the fit before you buy. I would be very cautious in checking the fit first and being absolutely certain that they fit right.

If they don't clear the calipers, you can pick up some spacers from H&R, wider Really is better. one of the guys I race with has an STi and he picked up some rotats...... they cleared the rear brakes but not the front. scraped the caliper. so he picked up some spacers and... problem solved.

so witch one would have more problems with clearence??
and no one stock em here in mexico so i'm screwed

also i'm thinking of having em poedercoated black, doe any one know how thr Enkei logo is on the wheels??

painted or sticker??

I believe it's a sticker, but if you get them done black, a black sticker won't do much good.
the 35mm will have LESS problems with caliper clearance issues, but they're going to stick out a hair. You'll have fender rubs if the car is too low.
You might want to try the 41 with the 5mm spacer. I don't know. I've never tried to fit them on a Civic, I honestly couldn't tell you if they'd clear or not.

here's something i don't understand if i buy +41 offset and they dont fir, when i get the 5mm spaces wouldn't that bring it to the same as 35 offset and then it would rub??

I dont think you are going to have a problem whith these fitting, a lot of the older civics run these for autocross. and we share a lot of the same brake parts. So it should fit, at least in theory.
