first off...welcome to the forum... and umm if you look at mill$civic's car, you will see black with chrome lip...it looks hot as hell on his...not on every car thought...umm..next, personally i would say dont go over 16's. a lot of people on here would say dont go over 17's, but 16 is plenty...its a nice look!

I have 18's on my car but I think you should have a lip kit or body kit before you put big rims on your car. 16's or 17's should be good for a fairly stock car.

i like 17s... cause 18s would realy put some tiny rubber around the rims! im already scared about hiting a pot hole!!!!!!!!

tho if i can find some i definatly gonna get some!!!!!!

Yeah the bigger the rims, the smaller the tire gets. And you start feeling the road a lot on thinner tires.
