I used to have 16" Motegi MR-7's w/ Ventus HR2 tires on my 01' Lx, and it rode horribly. I couldn't go 65mph on the express way without my cd player skipping constantly, to the point where you have to turn it off, or my whole car vibrating. I figured it was the tires, and i just dealt with it. But about 6 months ago i hit a pothole and blew out the whole sidewall of one of them...so at that point i decided to go back to stock tires. But i really want to put the motegi's back on in the spring, because they looked so much better but i don't want to be deprived of my cd player. Help me out. Thanks.

I'm assuming you got an alignment and everything. It could be the tires. When I had stock firestones, they started vibrating alot near the end. New tires fixed it completely.

Sounds liek an alignment problem more then anything. Also, try to get your wheels balanced

Heres pics of it with the motegi's and the tsw's, which do you think looks better?

If it is the tires i don't think i wanna spend the 500 or so bucks to get all new ones...i might spend the hundred to get one new then get them balanced and all that.

I've actually never really checked them...don't really know to much about suspension, or how i would go about checking them. Another thing is i bougt my car from a dealer and it was used, and my buddy said it looks lower than other civs. Obviously its because of the aprons around it, but i'm not sure if its been lowered or what. I think the springs are stock
