Rep Power: 240 yeah get rota slipstream, 16 inch. If you try to go the cheap way on "nice looking" wheels you will gain alot of rotational mass slowing ur already slow civic down(no offense i have a ex coupe too), but a 16 inch rota slipstream is like 13.5lbs and you can get 4 of them for under 900. Best deal i think for the money.
Yes, it's an Acura EL

Even our cars are played out. SOAD, your sig is disturbing. I love it.
mattyg23, you really should look and see for yourself what rims there are out there for that price. We have vendors who would be happy to sell you a set of wheels I'm sure.

Rep Power: 287 Rota's are decent rims.
Motegi's are a definite no no, unless your getting the trak lites (I think that's what they are called). I had motegi's before, and they looked decent but heavy, and I'm not into performance gains. However, it slows your car down a lot with acceleration.
Whatever you do, get a decent weight rims. I think mine weigh about 18-19lbs, I'm not sure exactly what they weigh. They are ok in weight, not light, but not 25lbs like my old motegi's.
