www.rsswheels.com ---> click on the upperleft corner on "daiwa". they seem to be the cheapest around as this design/knockoff is available through several companies. to me, it seems like a classic six spoke rim that looks clean on any civic. what do you guys/gals think? oh yeah, i decided to get the 17's, instead of the 18's.

hey civicvtec1ps,
hypersilver were the ones that i wanted, i think it will match the silver car alot better than the plain silver. i was at a rim/wheel shop a week ago, and the young lady showed me both adr/rss rims side by side, and the only difference was the little gt-sport sticker, and rim cap. you wouldn't really be able to tell the difference if both were plain side by side other than the obvious. not to mention, i'll save alot more $$$

Nice choice, I think all those wheels were knocked off from Volk Daytona Speed, they look very similar.

Low as you can go
1.75" all around would be nice.

The 215/45/17, but for the love of god, skip the package and get some tires worth spending money on.

i can get just the rims (assuming the tire packages aren't the greatest), any recommendations on what brand of tire to go with? do you think i'll be happy with the 17's and not wants 18's in the long run? it seems like most people on here are for 17's as 18's seem to BIG.

For daily drive, 17" wheels are perfectly fine. 18"+ wheels are too big for daily drive imo. Check out www.tirerack.com for tire reviews.

Thumbs up SICK WHEELS

Sick As Hell Bro! imp: very nice choice! 17's are perfect you be pimpin with those, and besides you don't want to put rubs too thin, gots ta be thick LOL MORE MEAT ON THE STICK TO HE AND OR HO BITCH SLAP THOSE RICEST LOL

I'm buying tires aswell this week, just waiting for my froNT cambers, but seems like 7thGenFans are in favor with Yokohama Parada Spec 2, or Toyo T1-S, in terms of Price, Looks, Durability and Performance, but Yokohamas are about 40bucks cheaper in my area, might vary on every state, Parada 2 are 170 and Toyo are 130, ask around and BS them like "this one place are a bit cheaper/you guys have any deals going on" just be really friendly they might give you a slack, they gave me 5% discount , Hey, nothin to loose when trying right?

I did a week research and Those were the best ones, I don't mess with those survey online, I rather ask the previous or current owners, just ask around here in 7thGen Site... Hope I helped you out a bit...

thanks for the positive comments people . to me, a six spoke rim always looks good on just about any car. i've never been a fan of mesh rims, and skinny spoke type rims, etc..
