Finally! traded 20's for 19's - pics inside - tell me what you think

So i posted a thread last week about trading some 20" Lexani Chrome Slate Wheels for some 19" Enkei RS-7 wheels. Well... I did and I am pretty happy with them. I slammed it on Ground Controls, not as low as i wanted it but good enough to tuck the rear tire and a little in the front. Tell me what you guys think, sorry for the bad pictures, took them in school parking lot - lol.







Thanks for looking!

Eh... Nice rims but not feeling the size, you have a pretty clean ride but the wheels are way to big for a civic. 15-17" ftw

19" damn do you have any suspension travel at all? What happens when you turn? Your tires must be rubbing and I know 19" tires aren't cheap. Anyways, keep the ride looking clean.

Oh, one more thing, i need opinions on whether i should paint my lip kit white because when i recieved it, it was already painted black. A lot of people say that it corresponds with my hood, grille, and soon to be headlights. Plus, i think i might paint the wheels black and leave the polished lip. Dunno help me out guys!

I can make full u-turns without any rubbing and it rides pretty damn good for 19's. About the tires, they're only like $100 off of tirerack for like a continental, cheap tire but useable. and yeah i plan to keep it jdm, i'm working on a turbo right now, i have everything i need, just missing an e-manage.

I would paint the lip kit white but thats just me bc I like flow. You can get away with just the hood being black and black rims look very sexy on a white car in my opinion.

Not really feelin the car, man. Not sure why.

Personally, I think the wheels are too big, but I doubt you're gonna change that. Black out the headlights, that will help an amazing amount. There's a DIY somewhere on here if you don't know exactly what we're talking about.


Oh, and if I were you I wouldn't be stepping on the toes of the few people on here that actually have experience with the car.

nothings wrong with 19s... they're just strait pimp! im' personally sick of seeing civics that all look alike. Everyone does the 17s/or 18s. The 19s are looking nice. I understand why you're not painting the lip and there's nothing wrong with that... goes well with the black and white theme. Nice work bro.

The lip looks great. I think BOHs would accent the lip, actually.

Car looks nice, the rims go well with your car. Like said before blacking out your headlights would make a big difference. Personally i like the black and white theme it might be played out but it sure as hell looks nice. Keep up tha good work and keep it clean

Oh good call, dude. That looks SO much better. The previous wheels look like a bad photochop.

Looks clean, but trade those 19's for some 17's now. And it'll look a lot cleaner.
