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.

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

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

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

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 :)

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.
