imo it depends on what you are going for. do you want a sleeper? b.c if u do then the si rims would be a good choice, but if ur gona get a body kit etc then go aftermarket
si rims will boost the value of your car (especially to thieves) but won't necessarily attract much attention (except for thieves). but they sure do look better than hubcaps
Rims always give a car a unique look because not all those moms out there with the same car care for dropping another couple hundred for wheels when wheels already come wuith the car...
but more importantly, do what you wanna do :P
ps you better see those rims in person. Even $250+$100 shipping sound smelly imo (no offense to the seller)

After I bent my first set of rims, i decided to put my SI's back on and loved them for a long time.
Then i gradually grew into my Enkei or52's and love them to death.
I will never, ever get rid of my SI's wheels.
Heres a few snaps:
Before w/ SI's:

After w/ Enkei:

Now its up to you to decide

They're the same rim? But I agree that's the cleanest honda rim. Goes well on any civic almost. Aftermarket is nice, but get the alloys if they're that cheap.

Yeah, I was confused which Si he was referring to. The 03 EX coupe rims you have... here in NYC, too many ppl have that rim... plus it gets stolen too often as well.
ya go with si rims.. I have 03/99-00 si rims on my car with oem aero kit and it look nice. The thing about those rims like si and gsr rims are very hot on market and people would do anything to take those off your car.

If you are only going to get 15 inch wheels, don't go aftermarket. Either go with the '00 SI wheels or 04 EX wheels. The 03 SI wheels don't look very good and that is the wheel that you saw for 250 on here.
If you can hang with buying tires for 16 or 17 inch wheels for the next couple years, go aftermarket. Oh, and if you don't drop your car, I say forget the 17s, but maybe 16s with a big sidewall tire.
