1st choice - the 1st ones in 16's
2nd choice - the 2nd ones (again in 16's)

Not a huge fan of the 3rd ones personally.

00CivicCp 02-14-2009 01:38 PM

cool I am leaning towards the 1st ones, but they only have them in a +35 offset, compared to the +43 offset in the 15's

reaper2022 02-14-2009 01:58 PM

I would not recommend a +35mm offset if you plan on dropping the car at all. You'll need something closer to a +40 to +45 offset for 7" wide wheels if you don't want to rub.

sfazngiants 02-14-2009 02:36 PM

i like the style of the first one then the 2nd.

00CivicCp 02-14-2009 02:54 PM

yeah, sorry i meant in the 16's they only come in a 35+ offset compared to the 15's which come in a 43+ offset

reaper2022 02-14-2009 03:08 PM

if the 16's are 16x7 and are +35 offset, they're going to rub if/when you lower the car. That being the case, I'd get 15's ;)

5zigen knockoffs on a white ej would look dope.

trustdestruction 02-14-2009 11:15 PM

if only i had that much money

reaper2022 02-15-2009 08:45 AM

lol hey it was worth a try :D

Seriously, on a budget, I'd look to Rota. They make some pretty decent wheels at fairly low prices.

-You can't go wrong with Slipstreams (though they're a little toopopular), 16x7" with a +45 offset would be perfect
-D2 in 16x7" wouldn't be bad, but with the +40 offset you'd need to roll your fenders if you want to slam it
-Group N's are sick (Mugen RnR knockoffs), but they only come in 15x6.5" with a +40 offset

ya slips aren't bad, but alot of people have em. don't really like the d2s, and the group n's are pretty sweet but i dunno if i would like them on my car.

I am thinking 15's because my car is only a little lower than stock and with 16s it might look "lifted"

I am leaning towards the 1st ones, they are actually made by A-tech, a company in japan and I have read good reviews. They were actually the 1st ones I liked along time ago.

Plus they are like 105 ea at discount tire and 50 bucks off that. And i'm looking at the Yokohama s.drives in 195/55-15s that are 76 plus they have an add for $40 off 4 tires. 45 for lug nuts, valve stems, hub centric rings, free shipping im looking at like $690 total if I get the extra 40 off for the tires.

here is an actual picture (17's) of them mounted

Yeah, like I said originally, the first ones you posted would be my top choice of the three. I believe you said the 15's had a +40 offset (correct me if I'm wrong)... what's the width? Are they 15x6.5" or 15x7? If they're 15x6.5" I think a +40 offset should be high enough that rubbing shouldn't be a concern, even if you slam the car. If they're 7" wide you might need to roll the fenders, but if you're moderately lowered it shouldn't be a huge concern. I had 17x7's with a +45 offset on my ej1 with no rubbing, and that thing was slammed (and going by my usual picture-whore fashion, you know pics are coming :D), so a 6.5" wide wheel with +40 offset should be fine.

God I miss that car :D

trustdestruction 02-15-2009 11:03 AM

i like the first ones
seeing the picture of them mounted changed my mind

00CivicCp 02-15-2009 11:31 AM

reaper i remember seeing that car a while back when i found this forum, def a sick car.

The wheels are 15X7 +43 offset

and trustdestruction i think they look pretty good mounted, def gives a better idea of what they look like

trustdestruction 02-15-2009 11:33 AM

^ i meant to say mounted. lol oops
i meant seeing them not on the car but with tires

00CivicCp 02-15-2009 11:54 AM

lol i figured thats what you meant

Thanks :D

And a +43 offset on a 7" wide wheel is actually more or less perfect; you shouldn't have any rubbing problems at all with the right size tire.

*edit: Fun fact of the day: The second picture I posted of my ej1 was actually taken in almost the exact same spot as my siggy, just closer to the road :D

inthezoneac 02-15-2009 12:47 PM

those first rims are nice. 17's though, not 18's.

civicgirl87 02-16-2009 07:38 AM

Well actually when i got them it did rub really bad because i went from si wheels to those. what i did though was just bend and hammer the inside fender up and the only time it rubs is when im turning and going up hill. (which in florida doesnt happen to much LoL) but they are fine now :)

Willby24 02-16-2009 08:12 AM

Don't get the second one. I know a lot of civics with 7 spoke wheels on them, and I just think they're ugly.
My vote is for the first one.
