Q1 : how many spoke looks good for red civic?

Q2 : What size tire looks good for Civic EX coupe and performance? even if I'm looking for 17" wheels.

Those are REAL Racingharts... Those are gonna set you back about $550 EACH. What you probably want to find is the RH EVO C5. The one piece cast version of those wheels.
As far as how many spokes... that's your own judgment. Surf members rides to look. Anywhere between 5 and 8 spoke wheels are popular. You want performance, smaller is better, but as I've reciently been realizing... get 1 set of rims for the road, and another for the track... cuz the track ones could get messed up. 17" Should be fine. tirewise... go with 205/45 or 215/45/17
Quality wise.... you're gonna have to tell us what you're looking at. RH Evos are good if you're going for C5's. Enkei and Konig also make good wheels for respectable prices.

whatever you like is better.. dont ask us, ask yourself.. its your car, your the one driving, your the one looking at it everyday.. find the wheels that will make you say "damn that looks phat" every time you get in the car.. took me 6 months to finally decide on my wheels... its $1,000, not $1, i wasn't JUST going to get something. i was going to get something i fell in love with..
