Which set should i get ?
currently it has silver jap knock off ef8 sir's on it and well, its time for a change.
i was thinking of 15" vloks with a Super low profile tyre... but im not too sure.
the car is completely stock bar them alloys.
Any idea/reccomendations for not only size but this style also should i just go back to the factory wheels ( not the steelies but the rare original hondas )
Hey man,
yeah these are a lovely rim alright, they look lovely under a civic.
But god don't buy them in white, you can get them in black with a red lip, would luck lovely under her and proper jap too!
But you may lower it to the sack too!!
You get the idea!0 -

yeah they are lovely, the red lip ruins them imho, dirty gray looks the best, id never lowwer it or anything as it'll ruin it. Just like the cheap body kits and usual rubbish. Lowering it more then likely will only make it handle even worse :mad:0 -
Every man for their own I suppose!
But on the thing of lowering the car, a set of coilovers is the way to go, not this spring cutting lark! That destroys a cars handling but the spring and shock that suit each other (coilovers) get the centre of gravity down and transforms a car! I done it to my current Focus after having it standard for three months and it's unbelievable to handle!
You don't need to go to low to see huge differences, but I just love the look of lowered cars!
And kits don't ruin cars, not if you put thought into it! I spent three months researching stuff for my car and eventually bought a kit in from Germany! It suits the lines of the car and fitted perfectly! It's the lads that walk into a shop and start pulling stuff off shelves, they're the boys with no taste!0 -
Firstly if your gona be fitting rims like volks, you have to lower the car. the rim just wouldnt sit right. Lowered suspension wont ruin the car as long as its maintained with proper car. Running a low profile tyre can take its tole on bushings sure so as long as its all maintained it'll be 100%. Proper suspension setup also will improve handling not make it worse.
Rims wise, id stay away from the whole volk scene, its too common for my likng, id go with something more like this:
Spoon SW388
Theres another set of wheels i cant think of but will get the name of them tomorrow and post them up0
