hey i like underglow! if its done right that is! yes neons are so 1990... the new is LEDs. i like the glow BUT the lights must be hidden completely!!!! no wires or bulbs visbale. only the glow output on the ground. and most important make sure the color flows well with the car!

IMO dito... 16s tops 15s prefered if you still like a decent ride quality. the larger rims you go the harsher the ride gets! i had 17s before and loved the looks BUT didnt like the ride quality. i plan on going with OEM 99-00 SI 15inch wheels for my next set.

ok then i would definately go for 15s, which is good for me as well because they are cheaper.
does anyone have a specific finish that they think looks good that is cheaper? i really like chrome but that's definately not cheap

well i HATE HAAATE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE Chrome... Leave chrome for the classic cars... it looks cheap and cheezy on a civic.....
on your green civic, id say bronze, gold, black, or gunmetal/steel gray color. or even polished.
These are a bunch of Drag wheels that i think would look good...

I think gunmetal or silver would look good with the green. 16s will give you a little harsher ride IMO but I think look better than 15s. 17s are just a little too big for my taste. Tint is another think you should look into, it would look good with some tint, but not too dark. Lip kit is another thing and a lowering. So I'd get (in this order) lip kit, wheels, lowering, and tint.

15" look better than 16" IMO, and are more comfortable. Bigger isn't always better looking.
chrome wheels do not belong on a Civic, or pretty much any modern Jap import (I say "modern" because chrome might look good on a really old Toyota Corolla or something like that)
I'd say bronze, silver, or grey

ya, even if chrome looked good i wouldn't be able to buy it
i like how the silver and gunmetal ones look, but not really gold or other colors
should i look for a black tint or a dark green one?
and how does the quality of tint go? because i've seen ones at like autozone or walmart but i know they sell them at car stores near me like drive in auto sound and car toys.
where would i go for the tint?
