Hey I'm new to this site but it seems like there are some knowledgeable people here.

I have a 2003 Civic EX coupe. Its black and has tinted windows.


I want to put some new wheels and tires on it. My question is what size wheels should I get. For some reason I like black or gunmetal, colored wheels. Also what kind of tires should I get with it? Also does anyone know what wheels would look good on it? I've been to Tirerack.com and have seen some I like there, but I'm always up for suggestions.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Don't get black rims unless they have a polished lip. I think all black makes the rims appear smaller. Some people like that JDM look but if you are looking for visual effect stick to the polished lip or the gold and silver wheels mentioned earlier. I think rims such as the Racing Hart C2 or C5 look good. I just bought some 5Zigen Corse in 17" silver in colour and i like the look.

sorry 5zigen Copse

yea i would say about 16"-17" is a great size wheel for our cars... also whenever you get new wheels you can sell your current ones for some good money...

how much u wanna lower ur car and are looking for wheels that will look big and look nice or are u looking for wheels that are light and will look not as flashy (i dont mean chrome bling bling)

i have 18's i love them but it is a rough ride and im lowered on Neuspeed Race Springs F 2.25 and R 2

if ride quality is important and u wanna minimize wheel gap i would get
205.40.17 with Neuspeed Sport Springs 1.75 and 1.50

get bronze or gold rims that will look sick

and as for tires jus check out the internet alot of is based on personal preference

when I upgraded to 205/45/17....the ride was so great compared to my stock 14. If you want light wait, Go with 16'' or maybe even some 15's but if your going for look maybe 17''s.

Black with polished lip.
