I'm all for budget mods. I think they turned out fine. I do wonder what they would look like inverted from what they are now though.

 

Looks like you did a good job, but im not digging the color selection. On that color civic, I think just a simple gunmetal would look much better on those stockies. But if you ever go aftermaket, I have seen that color look nice with bronze or white wheels.

 

Not bad.

 

niiice =] good job!

 

thx! i appreciate that!

yeah, i don't want to sacrifice any mpg b/c my civic is just my work car, but i wanted to bring something a little different to the table. these are the lightest wheels that honda has ever made on a stock car to keep the mpg high on the hybrid.

i think it flows quite well... yes, hybrid civic...

yeah, i would have loved to do that, but EVERYONE AND THEIR MOMMA IS DOING THAT... i like to be unique...

don't want to mess up my mpg or pay high dollar for a wheel of the same light weight...

thx... never thought of that... i'll have to photochop it and see how it looks...

 

^rota and drag make tons of lightweight wheels and you can get a wheel and tire combo for $600 shipped.

unique isn't always a good thing, keep that in mind.

 

$30 vs $600, and i'm quite satisfied for my work car is all that matters to me... thanks tho... i'll have to look at those if i ever decide to sacrifice my gas mileage...

 

The average wheel weight for a civic rim will not affect your mpg as much as you seem to think.

 

How much do the stock wheels weigh? There might be Drag wheels that weigh LESS than your stock wheels. Like EJ6buddy said, it doesn't matter as much as you think it does. Of course putting really heavy rims on is going to make a difference, but if you stay somewhat around the stock wheel weight, it's not going to change at all.

 

some nice 20inch chrome wheels will increase mpg by alot! lol
