Opinion on Wheels

I am looking at these wheels from wheelmax.com, this is my car here, my ride, I was wondering if these wheels would look good on my car. They are 17" (the price hike after 17" is not worth it to me) w/free shipping. Only $740!


What do you guys think? Would the wheels look good, my budget on wheels is about $1,000 so I am up for some suggestions.

Thx in advance.

The rims will look tight, but when are you going to lower your ride? 17's look funny on a vic's that are not lowered, I would wait until you had the money to do both at the same time. I got 17's with 40's on my ride w/ the eibach sportline lowering springs.

Nice design, what about 18". In my opinion 17's just look too small, but it's what ever you like the best.

I am getting them in 2-3 weeks, then I will get dual exhaust, and then I want to get a coilover system. I am deciding between these wheels and the wheels that are on the ride of the week this week (Velox VX-8), they come with one size in tires but I am not sure what size the tires are, I called wheelmax and they said that they would fit onto a 2002 Civic. The only problem with getting Velox's would be having to get tires seperately, unless someone else knows of a site where I can buy gunmetals as a package. I would like to get 18s but they cost SO much more than 17s, and I am planning to do a lot more to the car so I would like to save money whenever I can.

How about these wheels ($900), do any of you think that these are worth the extra $160?

Thanx
