Default $1000 on wheels and tires...What should I get?

I just got my insurance money for stolen wheels and tires and have around a $1000 budget.

Can you guys suggest some wheels?

I am looking for 15" size and I have a 94' honda civic coupe (picture atttached)

Thanks...

I say keep your hx.. maybe invest in some better tires. or you can get your rims powder coated somewhere for any color you want..

personally id get some cheap light wheels and some grippy tires. then either save the rest or spend it on other parts of the car. Rotas are great for people who dont want to shell out for the "super rare JDM wheels yo" and have some left over for more important things.

I was thinking the same thing because i had 4 sets of different rotas and I wanted to change up a little so I got some konig minuz and they are junk because as soon as I mounted the the paint started to chip bad were the lugs go and there were some spots on the wheel were the paint was just coming off I will never buy konigs again. So I dont know everyone has there own two cents...back to the topic..

Well, i'm not totally sure of what you're into, but www.tirerack.com has a nice selection man. And for a good price on many name brand rims///tires! Plus, they also offer many other parts for vehicals, such as springs, brakes, and tire+rims deals. You should check it out, and let me know! Plus, most of their deliveries take 2 days at the most!

oh btw, i bought some sport edition rims with reputable tires (17" rims) for 825$ total. And the rims and tires come with warrenty. And I believe the rims come with a warrenty on the paint, against peeling and fading and what not, i know there's more too it but thats as much as I can remember, haha.

Im looking to get some rota circuit 8's from jlbmotorsports $419.99 Shipped. Where can I get a skunk 2 kit for $200?

The $1000 is for both rims and tires. The HX's were worth $156 each.

My opinion is that your opinion is garbage. Not to mention unsubstantiated.
