What wheels should I get

Heyo, I got a pretty stock 03 civic ex and was wondering what kinda wheels I should put on it that has both style and is fun to drive in. (Doesn't have to have performance gain but preferable). It's got 5 lugs on it. Pretty sure I have a 15 by 6 wheel.

You're gonna have to define "pretty stock", because they were 4x100 from the factory.

yep, that. I'm willing to bet a lug conversion happened (or at least lug converting spacers/lug adapters) are on the car, and highly likely 5x114.3 if so.

That said, what are you looking for in wheels? Color? 6-12 skinny spokes? 4-6 fat spokes? spokes that seem to split off halfway through? A metric crap ton of spokes (google: dayton wire rims)?

Do you wanna increase rim diameter to 16, 17, 18, 19, or even 20's?

lotsa choices out there, gotta narrow it down to what kinda stuff you want on your car

My bad not sure what happened with the car. But yeah it's got 5 lugs. I'm not quite sure what had happened with the car. I was referring to suspension as stock. I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for in wheels but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the honda hubcaps. Ive heard around that 17 wheels are best on a civic. Im just wondering what would be best for looks and performance.

Re: What wheels should I get

all personal taste at this point buddy. I personally liked 17's on my 2002. I had Buddy Club P1 Racing SF's on mine, 17x7 rims, 215/45-17 tires. They were skinny 7-spoke rims, lightweight (17's weighed 17.5lbs each without tires), gunmetal in color, which went well with the dark blue of my car.

Do you have a budget in mind? I can give you recommendations of 17's ranging anywhere from crappy $100/rim to super gucci ones that go for upwards of $1000/rim

give us a budget and color and we'll see what we have to work with.

I've been thinking about doing the same myself. I was thinking 17" Fifteen 52s. Any thoughts?

I can't believe I'm so dumb. It has 4, you guys were correct. But it's got, I'm thinking stock steels with hubcaps on it. One of the wheels were damaged so I got another steel replacement.

Re: What wheels should I get

If you’re still planning on keeping stuff in it, I’d keep the wheels relatively stock-looking. No point in drawing extra attention to it.
