depends on what the car is intended for. If its a daily driver, I sure as hell wouldnt want 18's on it...

forgive my ignorance but im comin from suv land. how will bigger rims affect the ride quality of my civic? what are the advantages and disadvantages of bigger or smaller rims, without the obvious answer of "looks"? thanks in advance.

its mostly about ride comfert..with a 16 inch rim you will have a little more tire on there and more space to absorbe bumps and such, i like 17" rims personlly..in the civic world its usually 16 or 17s ..unless your going for somthing smaller for track and such, but with the 06 being such a bigger car compared to the 00 modle..i think 18" would look really good, it might be a little ruff ride tho depending on the thickness of tires you get
