NP, I just looked up both Rotas and I like them alot. Even more than my current ones, kinda wish I had the money to swtich over. I'd get the Boosts, Circuit 8s, or ATTACKs. I like all 3. You have a picture of your Civic?

I don't have a picture of my Civic but everything on it is stock. All of the $$ towards my car so far went to car audio and never really had extra funds to spend on the looks of the Civic. Now my car audio is done, I was thinking about sprucing it up a bit. Btw, does anyone think combining either wheel with the BF Goodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S (205/45ZR-16) would be a good match? http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...=NCCINT&cs=205

I'm thinking about getting the Rota C8s but either one would look nice...

Well if you are putting them on 16s then they should be fine. That is the exact same size that in on my. Those are all season tires it looks like which are much better than my super sticky summer tires. I have Falkens and they stick like glue when its dry, but if it gets wet then you screwed. And snow is even worse. It definally can make for an interesting drive to school in the morning. What audio set up you got? I have a pretty nice one, Alpine CDA-9886 headunit, Pioneer 6-1/2 speakers and Sony 6x9s out back.

I live in Charlotte, NC so we do get snow sometimes so having all season tires will help out, and these tires provide wheel damage protection which is nice as well.

My audio setup consists of Alpine CDA-9887 w/ Imprint + 80GB iPod | Rainbow Germaniums (bi-amped) | Zapco 200.2 (tweeters) | Zapco 360.4 (mids) | (2) IDQ10v3 subs in a sealed box| Zapco 500.1 (subwoofer) | Second Skin deadening.

Yea thats alot of stuff. Not to get off topic, but Alpine makes some great products, I love my 9886. I'll probably get a Bazooka 8 inch sub and an Alpine 200 watt or so amp for the speakers. It needs some lower end power for sure, only sounds good when I get up to about level 10 (goes up to 35). The windows start to shake at 15-20.

I think I decided to get the Enkei J10s. I know black wheels on a black car may not be the right thing to do, but when I see them on my car at Discounttire.com, I just like the looks of them better than silver. Would it be bad to go with black wheels, or be more appealing to go with silver?
