Default busted one of my rims today

some of you may have saw them, those huge *** 19's with rubberbands for tires. hit a bad pothole today and that was all she wrote. i know the tire is ruined but i don't think the rim is. even had to drive it home cos the tow truck never came.

i decided i'm over big rims within 2 weeks or so. how much does si rims usually run? about in the 400 range including tires? i think i'ma switch back to stock rims.

damn 19" on a civic. that is HUGE! at least your thinking of switching them out now. si rims runs about 350-400 maybe a little more or less if your lucky. or you can buy new aftermarket rims just get something that is 15" or 16"

It doesn't look good though, they are too big. There's only one price to pay for the wheels to look good and that's the price tag on the wheels and tires. Buy something at least semi-practical and you won't have a problem. Go with 15" or 16".

I personally love the HX or VX rims. Get a custom powdercoat and chromed lip. Super sexxxyyy.

And my god, your tires were HUGE! And where'd your hood go? =P

Go for the Si rims or LS Mesh. They're 15x6, pretty clean. Put 205/50/15 tires on them and you've got a nice smooth ride.
