RE: 18 inch wheels on EM2

wont camber wear just be horrible with 18's? and i think that just looks to ghetto. If you get 17's you better drop the mother or it will look like you have a monster truck same for the 18's. I preffer 16's and 15's, i think they have a really nice look and weigh less, but like some other people said go for what you like, its your build so if someone does it for you its not really your car.

RE: 18 inch wheels on EM2

Well i'm better off with 17's when i think about it...i live in the country and unlike you people from the states, Quebec roads are the worst. And i guess i forgot to mention that i have installed a rear camber kit with lowered springs (KYB GR-2 shocks/struts on the way) I still have to find a nice model...Don't like most of em'...I was thinking Konig Hotswap silver with carbon inserts, some model that looks like the PIAA Super Rozza in gloss black with silver lip...maybe others gotta look :S

yeah man i think with 18's you have to roll the fenders and all that junk. if you really want it go for it, but 17s handle and look great, check out my sig.

Actually my civic is lowered but gotta change the shocks they're done for. I wasn't exactly decided if i wanted to go 18 but i love those wheels and they're only made in 18's so that's why i was asking. I'm really picky for wheels...Except those, i can't find alot that i like. Sure Volk wheelsare nice but i ain't rich lol. Racing Hart too but mostly for 5 lug vehicles.

Well if i could have an idea what wider lips in the back look like (not exagerated) maybe that'd give me the answer to do it or not...I searched on the web for pics but geez no luck.

If you find anything could you put it in this post?

By the way your 02 civic looks nice! I don't usually dig chrome on civic but yours look good

thanks. ANd i changed my rims from chrome to gold. Got good responses with the gold. But take it as advice from someone with the same car, i think 17's are great. They look good and the drive isn't that horrible. So you'll be satisfied with the 17's.
