getting some new rims for the 99 hatch, its silver with black trim... Was wondering what would look best, seeign as all the outdoor trim/etc is black... and if 17" rims would be too big seeeign as my car is dropped lets say 2"...
thats the pic from honda/colorand trim

EDITED _ PEEP THIS AND RESPOND TO THIS PLEASE!>>>
yeah Iplan on painting that ****, but I still plan on keeping soem accents/trim black. I found some nice kyowa KR316's in black polised lip. What do you recommend for tire sizes 215-40x16's? 205-40x16's? 205-45x16's? or what do you think??? I'm dropped about 2 in atleast...

heres the rims

very similar, and guaranteed 16's in black. no arospeed family member hook-up though,e h

and yes,I did use searchprior to this

and as for tires, what you feelin, keep in mind all-season would be ideal, and ones that are higher speed rated for sure---
Hankook K106 Ventus 205/40HR16
Hankook H405 Ventus II 205/40HR16
FALKEN ZE-512 205/40R16
Toyo Proxies 4 205/40ZR16

 

first of all...go to this link for the 17" to big questions, its been asked ALOT

https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_211362/tm.htm

i have gunmetal rims with my civic ,it matches perfect with my dark tint and headlights, thos rims are friggen soo stick by the way^^, and the black ones the pic dosent work, but eather would look good with the black trim so its up to you on size

 

Exactly, dont be afraid to search first. I love those gunmetal rims, and 17's would look great.

 

id say go with the 17's thats if they dont rub that would be problem
i have 18s on my 00si with a real small drop and it looks hot but id say go bigger even though your performance will be thrown off a lil because civics handle the best on smaller wheels like 15s and 16s

 

honeslty 16 are much better. You can throw a slightly meatier tire on there which helps a lot over those potholes and such. By the way, you commented on the black molding having an effect on your color.........you know you can EASILY paint that stuff....

 

kinda like i did...all my trim used to be black like that pic you posted of the civic^^,changed it all to silver in the early spring, love it wayyy better

wow thos look good..i heard all thos tires above are good^^all of them are really populer so it pretty much price , toyo are nice..but like i sead, there all great tires, im not sure what kind of tires the 16" guys like tho..its been discussed alot in past threads tho

 

oooo those are pretty. id go with the Falkens but theyre usually more expensive than other brands in their performance range.

 

I think 17's look nice. I want to go 17's on mine but I'd probably go with 16's becuase I don't want a harsh ride like the neon I have with 17's.
