i have a friend selling me some of those wheels for 175... do you think i should do the deal?? i have a 99 civic hatch the wheels look pretty clean..
like the picture but they are black.. let me know if uve seen some cars with these on.. what u guys think????

 

i personally think they are too small and doest look good

 

thats what i was thinking too.. thanks for the reply

 

I think it would look okay with the right tires. Try to get the widest tires possible with the wheels and then figure out your aspect ratio accordingly. I'd also go with some with a nice tread pattern.

 

You would need a 3 inch drop to pull it off.

 

i use to have rims that looked like that on my car but i did not get a satisfied feeling with tho rims then i bought my ruff racing r310 they have more of a crowd pleaser look, but if you like the way they look on your car don't lent nobody tell you what you think is right ITS YOUR CAR NOT THERES!

 

I'm with nike. I think they'd only look good if your car was slammed.

 

I don't know if this is an issue with the 6th gens but some of the 5th gens can't fit certain 13" wheels because they won't clear the brake caliper. That's something to check out. See if your friend will let you test fit then first.

 

Generally they have the same suspension and brake setup, so I'd say it could be an issue. I'd think it depends on the sub-model, though. Given that it's a hatch, it's either going to be a CX or a DX, so I believe it should have slightly smaller brakes (i believe 9.x" compared to the EX/Si's 10.x" rotors) along with rear drums. Offset will change things up, too.

 

It's a problem with the ABS brakes, they are bigger.
