Re: Im getting Rims i need some advice
what do ricer rims look like exactly ??? i personally would put black rims or black with aluminium lip something with a deep lip i really like these and there not expensive and you can change the rivets for different colors.

black rims and a alu/polish lip is over played. just stick with some nice clean rims like rota slipstreams.
example:
but jsut remember to lower ur car PROPERLY... or else you will look like a 4x4 and be riced out no matter what rims u have.

Re: Im getting Rims i need some advice
Don't go too big like 18's for street use. As for rims everyone has their own opinion, get what you like. I just went from a spokey chrome rim with red rivets to a flat black 5 star with a red stripe.
Here is my first set 10 years ago, but they bent on every pothole.

Um no chrome does not go with every car... and it generally looks tacky on a civic.

In my personal opinion, HFP is a great way to go. I use this website to look at rims and other upgrades for my civic.
http://www.handa-accessories.com/civelec01.html
The HFP rims i like the most are for the 08 Honda Fit. Look them up, they are a bronze rims, simple but great. Plus I always like 16's vs. 17"s because the tires cost a lot less. All up to you tho, the pictures of the black rims on the black civic look pretty good too. (white rims look good too!)

Here is my '04 Civic dropped 2 and 1/2 inches with a camber kit installed. I have 17's gunmetal with a chrome lip.
