Ok, i have a set of 20" Lexani Slate rims with nitto tires that i bought like a month or 2 ago. He wants to trade me some 19" Enkei rs-7 wheels with tires that have about 50% tread life left in them and $200. Do you think I should do it and do you think these wheels would look good on my car? My car is posted in the forsale section, just look for the 20's for sale. I have ground controls currently and plan to slam it if i get the 19's. ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!

Rep Power: 0 19's or 20's ONLY look good if its your show car. If its your daily driver, 17's work best man. In my opinion, anything larger looks like a toy car, and theirs no such thing as a Civic candy slab with chrome rims.

Rep Power: 0 i had some 18's and i really liked them but i hit a pot hole and dented up 2 of the rims. I had it slammed and tucking tires when i had them. That's the only reason why i would want like 18's or 19's because you can tuck the rear tire and still be low. I dunno just my opinion

Rep Power: 257 i would def upgrade to the 19" Enkeis...Chrome on a civic just doesn't look right to me...even more so upwards of 18"...actually, any rim bigger than 18 on a civic just looks funny to me, but with the right rims and drop you can get away with 19s
lose the chrome, give the 19s a new home
but get pics first to check for curbage and lip damage

Rep Power: 0 well the guy only lives an hour away and from what he says, they are in mint condition, only one of the wheels haves a very small scratch on the lip. Plus, with the $300, i'm just gonna buy 2 new tires for the front and use the other $100 to get my chrome trimming on the trunk and hood,mirrors and lip kit painted. Then i gotta get my downpipe made, get some rsx-s injectors, and a emanage with a PnP and install this turbo kit that i've been trying to put together for a while and i'll be set.

Rep Power: 0 I was driving downtown Austin earlier today, and I realized that I am soo glad I have 15's...the roads suck major *** with dips, raised manholes, and around UT its terrible with hills and craziness. If i would have even 17's I think I would have bent one this afternoon.
