14" wheels are what the oem wheels are.

I had 15" wheels on my eg and I liked the look, but it all depends on what look you are after.

i think those guys run 13"-14" wheels. BUT you do realize that you cant just roll the fenders and put em on right...they have HELLA suspension work to make it look like that

IMO 14" aftermarkets are too small. depends on the car and the style your looking for.

I would rather have 15s but 14s would look decent also... I'm still on hubcaps that I painted (14 inch obviously) and from a distance they look sweet (like real wheels) on my car that's lowered about 2" despite being 14 inches

haha, I even think 15s are too small, but then again, everyone have different preferences and taste. Everyone on Honda-tech are die hard fans of 15inch stock alloys, im not, they are nice but look way too small in my opinion. Go Honda-tech style on the 08 si...... You know how dumb 15s will look on that car????? haha

You do realize that the common 15" preference is mostly in reference to pre-2001 Civics, right? I don't know anyone who would think about putting 15's on the 8th gen Civic.


To the OP:
14" is a little small, but it could look alright if you go as wide as you can (within reason) with the tires. 15" would look better though.
