Wow... ages have passed... just checked my thread history. (don't post much)

Little update here 3 years later.

18's are gone. I came off the highway and hit a pothole, cracking my front passenger side rim. They looked great and I miss them... but will never go higher than 17 again. I have chrome 17'' 5 spokes now.

As for the ride questions... honestly... not a noticeable change from the 14's. I ran 215/45/18 ... if I recall correctly.. was 3 years ago tho.. so don't quote me on that exactly... sounds right tho.. But yea... the overall ride wasn't really hindered.

Had some engine trouble so I stopped worrying about the appearance.. managed to gain some body damage since as well.. but will replace the fender/rear driver's side door and spray some new paint soon...

I'll throw some pics up... never too many pics of nice civic sedans.

I'm sure they look good, but your whole suspension will suffer unless your city roads are like an F1 racing circuit. Highway crusing shouldn't be bad though. Got any pics, sounds like a nice ride.

Houston, Tx bro... it's 95% freeway driving. even then... the city roads are like 5 lane highways.
