is it your dialy driver? The ride quality of 18"s on a Civic is horrid. I have 17"s on my daily driver and i'm definiely complaining [:@]

also unless you drop it, the 18"s will look RIDICULOUS. off roading anyone? Get the 17"s and make sure to get a drop

How much do they weigh? Remember that adding unsprung weight can only be a bad thing - slower acceleration, harsher ride, etc. I would stay away from anything over 16 lbs.

let's just say i've got 17's now, and they suck comfort-wise and performance-wise, so now i'm going with 15's, and if you go with stechs and 18's, your car would suck to drive, but it's yours and you'll have to learn the hard way.
