To be 18's or to be 17's the big question I have a 2004 Nt Hawk Pearl Black 4 Dr EX and I want to get Konig Therory Rims for it. Do I go wit the 17's or 18's? I really havent seen many Civics wit 18's on them, is there a reason for this??

Rep Power: 0 depends on how and if your going to drop the car, obviously if you dont drop it as much you can put the 18s on, but 17s are more common if you want to be much lower,
i just looked up those rims because i didn't know what they looked like, but i would say because they have that chrome around the edge i would go with 18s, the 17s will look smaller with that styling. If that is what your going for

Most people dont get 18 because they cost so much. Also they weight alot and will slow your car. But if u dont care about speed, damn is it worth it. 18 Look much better then 17. Very beautifull
^ haha he's right
You also gotta consider how and where you drive your car. I'm never going to get anything less than 18s again, unless I'm returning my car to stock. But at the same time, this is my daily driver and the roads I travel suck ***** hard, so I picked out 225/40 size tires to take some hits.
But even with 18s on our cars, it still needs a drop (to look decent). I want a drop so bad, even if it's only 1"... the wheels wont tuck because if the tires, unless you don't mind a little camber

Rep Power: 305 Dont' knock 18's, they dont slow you down that drastically IMO. i actually ran faster than i did before with my stock 15's. mainly due to better rubber. yes 17's are lighter but 18's just give it that awesome look.

Rep Power: 0 dude, dont go any bigger than 17. when you get up to 18-19's, you start running into problems that you really dont want to hassle with, especially with a daily driver..
