I like the style of your new rim, it's racey! I think they look smaller then 15" cause they have a lip. My 17" have a lip and they look like 16". I'm going 16" next, they ride nice and are a little cheaper, can't beat that.

I'd never go back from my 17's to anything smaller, I don't care if my rims called me names everywhere I drove. I like the stance of our dropped Vics with 17's...everything is big on 7th gens, headlights, tail lights, bumpers so why not have big rims on there? Just looks like they belong. I guess if you are happy though thats all that really matters...oh yeah my solution to the noise of my rims...subs and new 6 1/2s...I don't hear anything but good quality music...
That was the most hilarious reply on this topic hahahah ... Man I already have 6x9s with components in the fronts and a kicker L5 ... but at times when ur riding with family (sometimes) its very uncomfortable ... and then u realize like damn !!! I never knew my civic drove like a semi without the sound system !

15's are much smarter choice,
1. they're more comfortable
2. less noise
3. Cheaper tires + more sizes to choose from
4. they're lighter
5. better braking
6. low profile tires don't offer enough protection for the wheels so a bad pothole and you can kiss your rims goodbye with 17s
7. 15's look much better imo (with the right drop)
8. paint your calipers and the rusty parts SILVER! it'll look kick ***

I personally would've gone with 16s, but overall, i like them much better than the old ones.

I don't like the new at all, personally I would not trade you a set of OEM hubcaps for them. But you dig them and that is what counts.

if they're cheap doesn't mean they're bad, for tires sometimes it means they're good, because they make them in such huge volumes they can offer such a low price and almost everybody who tried them likes them. heck you can even track these tires!
sure wanli's are bad choice for tires, then the guy would deserve little bit of flaming but he got falken's, give him a break
