which wheels to buy!?!?

[notorious_ahmie]

hey guys im going tomorrow to get myself some new wheeeels!!

what would be the best looking rim for my ek..shes the purple colour with the slight blue pearl or the other way around :S

[jackosimm]

You'd probably be best checking some web sites, grabbing some pictures of ones you like, and then getting peoples opinions.
On a purple EK, gold with a chrome lip is always nice however:)

[|N|]

thats a very open ended question u have there....
depends wat style u after... at the end of the day ... as long as u love them ... its all that matters

[mugeneration]

buy whatever you like! Tho reemeber the bigger you go, the more handling and ride comfort will suffer, also your tyres will not last as long (so ive been told). Also if you go chrome they are going to be fairly heavy so increase the weight of your car (i think theyre heavier than stockies ne way). If you go 16 inch lightweight you will get great performance. But if you want to go for looks, go 17s, or 18s in whatever style you like.

for EK Civic is usually 15inch for go
and 16 to 17" for looks
16 is the best :thumbsup:

[notorious_ahmie]

haha i love it!!!that rjr action gold is the best id say...maybe ill go gold then... :p

[notorious_ahmie]

just another question peepz...do u know how much the gold rims are priced at? im gonna go to Big O tomorrow and hopefully get them :D

[mugeneration]

if you mean like a gold chrome? i saw it on a skyline and it looked hooooott, the skyline was white so it worked really well. But normal gold wheels shouldnt be too much.

[s3ph]

big o and ozzy tyres are ok...

big o i think sell those te37 replicas... look into them

[notorious_ahmie]
