$1,500 Budget: Any suggestions ??
I'm now driving my fiancé's Civic as my daily driver and the wheels need updated. We just sold her Work VS-XX and Axis Touring Cups. I want to stick to the $1,500 mark w/ tires. (17s or 18s) I'd like some opinions on what would look good. She is thinking RH C4s, I'm leaning more towards a set of SSR Comps. I liked the VS-XX wheels she had because they were gold/polished lip, the offset just was too low for daily driving. I'm open for any and all suggestions. Thanks!!
Oh and here is a pic from about a year ago as a reference.

1500 for just rims? or w/ tires?
I'd avoid SSR Comps. They suck from a durability stand point. Just avoid them like the plague.

I checked eBay cuz I found these same ones but in their 18" size for ~$1500 with tires (all 4). It was pretty nice...
... and yeah... kinda forgot our cars were 5 lugs...

So do you have anything helpful to say...or do you want to post ***** all day with your know it all attitude?
Think about putting all the relevant info on the page before you ****, bitch, whine and moan about people making intelligent inferences about what you post. There's something about definiteness that helps the cause.
Anyways, if its her car, and she wants C4s, then why are you stopping her? (There, is that the answer you wanted?)

Rep Power: 0 ^^ Hey man, sorry if I wasn't clear enough for you. If you needed that much info to give your opinion so be it. However you did hit it right on the head...because chances are shes going to get what she wants. True it is her car, but I have to drive it when the weathers not nice. I'd much rather get something that reflects my taste not hers but oh well.
Anyone else want to chime in? Lets for get about price...what wheels do you want to see on that car.
