hi guys ive got my civic its a 1.4 3dr hb in dark metalic purple, im not sure what wheels to put on it id prefer 17s but any advice is welcome and im probs gonna drop it 40mm with a lip kit but cant decide on wich lip eitha lol any ideas?..... many thanks

 

Personally I'm a big fan of simple lip kits, Mugen and Type-R lip kits look really clean and still make it stand out.


As for the wheels with dark purple I think that a darker rim would really look good. Maybe something in gunmetal.

 

have a look at oz´s supterturismo gt.

i like the look of the type r lips im thinkin about gettin one and lookin at my civic its a strange colour its more of a blue colour but sometimes it looks purple the cars called the civic illusion so if that explains any thing lol ... thanks for the replies

With a 1.4 i think your gonna need to make up in visual what it lacks in speed, lol thats what im doin with my four door, mine is black (primer soon to bee gloss black) with 18in Gunmetal Motegi Mr8's. I like the spacing in between the spokes because it really shows off suspension upgrades. So if your lowering kit or coilovers are colorful, show them beeyatches off!! They make my skunk2 stuff look right nice! i say fit as big of rims that will ride, by ride i don't mean that will fit, cuz i know i can slap 20's on mine and they will fit, i just won't be able to turn lol or hit any bumps without driving the tire through the fender lol. But hatches your year look crazy with 5 or 6 spoke rims that are bigger than the fist of God.

 

im lowerin it 40mm n im lookin for a nice set of 17s jst hard to imagine wa they look like on the car lol ..

 

hey go to tire rack.com and put in your car y/m/m and it will show a pic on there and you can flip through rims and see what they look like on your car

 

Mugen or Type R lip, tokico illumina shocks, H&R sport springs, Sport Edition Fox 2 Sport rims (if you can find them in 17...they used to have them in 15-18, but tirerack doesnt seem to have them). WedsSport SA-90s look great too...but only come in 15 and 16.
