i am not sure ill spend alot or a little im leaning twoards alittle but it really doenst matter to me

well if you are looking for something (new) that doesn't cost much...rota's are always on that list

if your budget allows...then the guy on here is selling his volks for around 2k...they are bronze..i don't know if that would go with your color scheme, but they are def. nice wheels + tires.....i think his sn here is 06fg2 or something like that

Ideally you want a forged wheel that is lightweight. Both factors generally hike up cost, although if you are willing to be picky you can probably find a deal somewhere.

yeah the volks are 17s and ive already had some sets of those, i am only considdering 16's i honestly dont care if they are light or good wheels, they can be junk for all i care as long as it looks good, the car is my dd i dont care if it slows it down its already slow and i have bling wheels for my evo, im not tryin to show off i just hate the 18's that are on the car

If you are going for looks the best thing to do would be to do a google image search of the new SI’s with aftermarket wheels or go onto an owner’s forum and look for image posts. That is about the only way to truly see what a wheel would look like on your car. It all really depends on what look you are going for. The new SI’s have very sharp angles and straight lines so a big clunky curved wheel would probably not do too well on it. For 16’s I would go with a multispoke or snowflake style wheel on that car. Depending on the color too. If your car is silver/black/red then I would go with some nice flat black wheels on it to give it a harder look. Personally, I am always a fan of the FNOR’s but they highly depend on the offset as to how they look.

i love rota slipstreams on older civics and crx's.. i'm not sure how they'll look on a newer civic.. what about enkei they make nice wheels.
