General: Rims, rear disc brake conversion, muffler
So I have an 09 Civic with steelies and hubcaps and I'm looking to upgrade rims. What are the specific dimensions of the rims and do you have any recommendations as to cheap rim options that look good? I'm getting caliper covers as well. I also am looking into putting discs on the back to replace the garbage drums. Is that worthwhile or too much work. Also, any suggestions for a muffler that makes some noise when I want it to but is relatively quiet in normal driving? Also, any other cheap and easy mods I should do? Thanks.

Paint the calipers instead of putting super cheesy covers on. It will look much better

Look wise, these rims are sick https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003M8HB9U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7FciCbB1E66K0. Probs garbage but they look nice. I have a blue Civic so that's a plus. I actually work at a Honda dealer so any work can be done super cheap, and the SI muffler is a great idea. I can't believe I didn't think of that. I really just wanted rear didscs for looks but not worth it. I'll get red calipers (or at least covers) for the front ones only. I was watching crisfix on YouTube and am thinking about seeing what rims I can get from a junkyard (my friend owns 2, I have connections all over for cheap stuff) and fixing them up according to his video here https://youtu.be/9WQiqYlpxoY. Thoughts?

Those would look nice. Konig makes great daily driver wheels at an affordable price.
Junkyards are a great place to help safe money on parts.

Refinishing rims can be tedious but worth it. I did a set for my car.
Seriously don't put the caliper covers on, paint the calipers instead
