Best Wheel Size?

[jjj23]

One question

I am lost choosing from 17" or 18" wheels for my VTI model 2007 Civic

For the looks i know many would say 18"+ for sure but what about
performance wise? For such low Kw car, what is the best wheel size
for it?

THanks!

number 1 in gold will look good if u dump it, and the 2nd one will also look good, but everywhere you look black and chrome lip are more common. i personally would go for no1 in gold.

i will go 17" max
or even 16" for more performance

the bigger size u get, Nicer looks but lesser performace and comfort.
(20" gonna make bloody nice but also bloody hard bumping and acceleration).
(15" give u maximum comfort and best accelaration, but looks ? just judge by urself)
so i prefer, in the middle, 18".

what if you got 18's or 19's wouldnt it scrape the insides?

hey i got 19inch zinic black rims on my civic sport plus lowered an inch with king springs no problems at all.
no scrubing unless i have a full car and go over speed bumps or big dips in the road.

if u not lowered, won't be a problem.but if u lowered, same like danny_mart said.

[danny_mart]

yeh i dont recommend lowering the car... may look good but makes more problems then you think....
but thats just my personal view from experience....
many ppl still do it

yeah, agree, all depends with ur circumstances. if u always travel to "bad" road or have a family (baby with pram, brothers or sisters, or may be parents who will travel with u), better not. but if u still "single fighter" will be different story, unless u want put full of "chicks" in your car LOL :p:p:p:p:p

I like the 1st one enkei ; how much the damage cost anyway?

I prefer 18" than 17" - it just a little bit better.

or even 16" for more performance

16" Enkei RPF-1's are not available in Oz through the offcial distributor, already tried.

18s. 17s look small on this civic.
