honeslty, I know they look good and all, but don't go with 18s. Civics are already slow and you're slowing the crap out of them by putting 18s on 'em. But if you'd rather make your car look good and don't care about losing power, go with the 18s. Personally, i would only do upsizing on the wheels.

If ur looking to just get something now I'd say go with something like the nakayamas suggested above. If you aren't in the biggest rush and can save up take a look at g-racing seki's. I have them in bronze 18".

Hey skiboard those rims would look hot on your ride, but I hear nothing but bad things about Exel rims...I say save some money and get a better, more reputable brand. You've got tons of time before the spring thaw anyway....

The only problems I heard with Exel wheels is that the paint on them isnt that great. After a while they fade or chip.

Strenth wise they are no better then Konig, RHEvo, Enkei, ADR...... all made out of the same stuff. The only quality issue I would worry about is the paint of the rim..

Hmm is it that bad quality?
I mean for Copy products, difference between
Racing Hart C5 w tires ($1500) and Exel RH5 w tires ($900)
is almost double the price. hmmm
