What To Buy?

[cxjon]

my friends 17's weigh 14 pounds... they are nice and look phat as hell on his hatch... they look like spoons

i say get the rims.

17s look damn good on a Civic. 15s and 16s look to fookin small if you ask me

 

[cxjon]

i think my 15's look big on my car

umm... there is nothing wrong with 17s on a civc. I have them on my 95 coupe. they fit fine, and the weight difference between comparable 16s is minimal. why put 16s when they look weak. I'm all about performance, but im also about not having my car look like shit. adding 10 or less more pounds isn't a big deal for a street car.


just my 2 cents.

That's funny, seeing as how my friend has 17's on his Civic, and they hit the wheel well when he turns, even after he rolled it with a bat.

Hmm, weird...he has Eibach Sportlines, no swap--fronts not lowered. He has gunmetal Tenzo R Mean 6 or something like those.

for every pound you take off for the wheels, it "frees up" 10 lbs of force from the engine. Dropping 10 lbs from the wheels would be like shaving 100 lbs from the car. Read the article about weight (part 2 has info about this)

what do you guys think about the rota subzero's? i can get a set for around 560 bucks.. good price or no? *in 17's*

 

[Prowler]

Yeah it's a good deal. They're nice looking wheels. Buy em.

rubbing depends on tire size too.

rota subzeros are definitely nice.
