120034405032

item number on ebay..

just search that number and the item will come up

(they dont allow me to link.. i'm a new user)



Here it is.. it's 18 and yeah.

i dont know if it will be safe to go with this.

i have acura el (canadian one, just like civic si sedan) 4 disc brakes

I think it will fit fine with 215/35/18 tire

what do you think? it doesnt say what it's made out of..

well.. it's my first post, and give me some of your thoughts~!

thanks~!

it should fit fine, but don't do it...those particular wheels are crap and you can do much better than white ones....search ebay a little more

I really want white wheels because to this FIJI blue, white wheels are really nice.

Are white wheels really hard to clean?

And for wheels what should i look for..

ex. what it is made out of. and so on..


Also, any brands that are recommendable? ebay, web store, etc

which offset should i look at for civics?


preferablly 6 spokes.

thank you all`!

You should be able to find a table of wheel weights somewhere online. As far as those go, quality probably isn't great. If that's what you're looking to spend, I guess go for it. Before you do, tho, look into Rota wheels. I believe the quality is better, and they're not too expensive. Either way, post some pics when you get wheels on it. Welcome, BTW.

Just go with some used rims on this forum, you can find good deals every now and then with tires.
