those just look like your steel wheels. on the tire there should be a number like 205/45/R17, something like that. well the last number will tell you what size of rim the tire is for so this one it would be for a 17" rim.

I know it's just rust... but I like the color of the steelies.

I love red civics with goldish/brownish rims.

Good buy...

I wouldn't go H22 unless you plan on losing your A/C and power steering. Also, you'll end up throwing money into suspension and tons of other things if you're going to throw an H22 in.

H22 in a civic is usually not intended to be used as a daily driver unless you really want to beat some *** on friday nights.

Go B-series, K-series, or build and boost the D series.

do it ashley, it wont hurt since you are going to be getting a new engine anyway. worst comes to worst you will have to buy a new manifold if you get a different series of motor.

so lets talk about boosting a d series, whats a realistic # to aim for on a daily driver, sat night sleeper?
what are the bennies of ball bearing over whatever the alternative is thats cheaper?
water and oil going to the turbo vs no water?
just call me a sponge, as i thirst for knowledge..

oh god, did i really just type that.... i am getting old

I've been advised to do suspension and tires first. A good idea before tackling and engine swap. Any ideas for rims for a gunmetal paint job?
