Sounds like a nice plan.. looking at the gram lights in gold, (6 spoke I believe)
on tirerack, I think they'd look fantastic on your car. I would personally not go over 16's, but thats all up to you. Being that low, 16's will look big but you won't look riddiculous. Sometimes these wheels are just too big for our cars... 18's can look nice, but it turns it to more of a bling, bling look.. 16's will keep the smooth, quiet, clean look going which i think is nice as it stands. It's different, but it dosn't stand out and have cop magnet written all over it in neon orange spraypaint. hehe

Rep Power: 280 i was actually thinking of getting 17s. i think 16s would be too small for my car. i guess i'll have to look more into it before i spend big bucks on it...

the exhaust just bolts on, but the exhaust is too short for the civic because our car (coupe) is longer than the RSX. you'll have to bring it into a muffler shop to get a piece of pipe welded onto the axleback tip.

Yup, depends what look you are going for. In my eyes, seeing a smooth car like that with mild wheels.. like gram lights in 16' makes the car blend together better, stay quiet but still stylish/elegant... it also makes it look more towards the buisness end instead of the show off end.. I'm not knocking big rims, I like em.. it's just a different look. Drew22maders red coupe looks great on big wheels.. but it's different than what you'd get with smaller, more fitting wheels. Especially on a drop like that, those wheel wells will fill in easy.
Smaller diameter wheels will also save you a bit of weight, and pull in the rotating mass a bit.. As if the weight or rotating mass really matters on our killer 120hp cars. hehe. Either way, I like it.. it's stylish and not obnoxious at all. Thumbs up.

I see you got the limited edition billet ****... Nice choice considering your interior color. I got black so I went with the regular one.

i got the '04 wheels off ebay. they cost me $350 without tires. if you look in our 'For Sale' forum, theres someone selling a set i believe for a pretty good price with tires.
