You should've gotten Tein ss and some light weight 15" wheels.
18" Wheels are too big for civics in the first place.

Whatever you do, don't try to bend it back, you'll crack the aluminum. You'll probably be able to find a shop that repairs wheel damage like that, or you'll have to buy a new wheel.

That's why I went with 215/40-18s.

BTW nice wheels

Not too many potholes, but if your car is lowered or you have wheels it is still wise to do the "high school swerve"LOL
