How much $$$$$$$$$$$$$ are you gonna spend on them? If you only have $1000 I don't want to show you something that costs $1200 or $1400

Your choice is pretty good because it is has a unique center design to cover up the lug nuts and it is available in 18" for your $1250. If we can't show you anything better, then go for it Here's what I was thinking:

18 Inch 5Zigen MK-06 in Super Silver (they are available @ WheelMax, but this pic shows the color a lot better & the 18's are $1290 thru Import Hookup/Wheeloptions)


17 Inch ADR SZ-1 in Gunmetal


18 Inch Axis Speed Six in Gunmetal (you need to ask Mac Wheels if they will fit - I think they might be 8" wide). These wheels were on a black car at a show & looked wicked in gunmetal

18" RH Evolution CP8 in Bronze

My opinion....."hell yeah bro" I love the gunmetal look on the red Vics. Well then again... I just like the gunmetal look period But yeah...I think there is some members that have gunmetal rims on a Red Vic....

Here is a pic, I think this member has gunmetal, kinda hard to tell with the angle and the pic itself, but gunmetal on the Blue Vics.... IMO

Thanx for the pic, it looks f'n nice, but i like the bling bling of shiny chome or silver rims. I'm still undecided between Velox VX-8R or the Konig Absolute.

i know that im getting the Velox VX-8's, but it is killing me when it comes to choosing what size. i cant decide between 17 or 18. if only i had something that would lean me toward one. I like the way both look, i just dont know what to do. The way that i see it is 18's kinda look like they dont go with a civic,ive always seen civics with 17's and it looks normal too me but i cant get a drop. i think it would look ok but

Bowlcut7...bro...go 18's...! They look a lot better IMO They fill up the gap in the fender wall a lot better then 17's even when dropped. But that's just my opinion!
