hi im new to honda-tech, to civics for that matter. was an integra owner before i picked up my new 99 silver ej8. anyways, right now the ej is sitting on some really nasty rims, planning to use the tire tread up but after that i would like to get a new set. any suggestions on what kind of rims would look good with a silver 99 ej8?? still pretty stock by the way. please give me the names of the rims and/or pics of them. i've come up with either the 00 si rims or the integra ls meshes. please, all suggestions are welcome! thanks in advance!!

some know and some dont know what your ej8 looks like. post a pic. from the side. dont do mesh or si...every1 is doing that. depends on if you want some racing wheels or if you just want to look cool. you can have both with some 16" buddy club wheels the 8 spoke, white with blue letters

id say si rims between the two. si rims are sex imo!

rick_rabies

but sex is boring

lol thanks guys, i appreciate the ideas, keep em comin! will post up pics once i take some. but pretty much a bone stock silver 1999 honda civic ex with an si spoiler. im going for the type r look. black type r all around lip, si grill, yellow fogs, and jdm side markers. so any rims that would look nice let me know

Clearly you're only having boring sex than.

Id say go baller and get some regamaster evos... Them ***** is hotter then a box of tastycakes on church morning. Is your car lowered at all?

BTW SOHC_civic_si...
Nice quote! bahaha I just noticed that now

hmongej8

O_o regamasters are nice..and no its not dropped at all

How much are you looking to spend? Are you looking for something along the lines of slipstreams, or circuit 8's? (both rotas) so long as you dont have 17's, theres a plethora of rims that will look good out there. I personally love volk te37's, but thats just because I love evo's.... It all depends how much you want to spend. Evos look amazing on slammed cars, so make sure you try and go low and get wheels around the same time otherwise I'd think it look gawdy.

Remember steelies can still look good on slammed cars until you save up enough for rims/tires

hmongej8

anywhere between 500-800 i can do

everythingwentblack

stick with rotas. you can get rotas with tires for like 700 all new. I think rota flights are sweet they just dont have them in white and thats what color I want. Go figure hah

hmongej8

lol bummer...yeah right now im leanin towards a set of rotas, just not 100% sure yet

ALLxMOTOR EG

Either SI rims or LS mesh.

everythingwentblack

if it was between si's or ls's Id say si's. or maybe white circuit 8's with honda center caps...

be a real man.. lol get some hx wheels look good and light as ****! make u feel a bit faster! and help your gas mileage... for that price range you can get a nice set and put some sticky tires on ! take the money you save by buying these and do a rear disc swap on that beast!

batallic

rota c8's

everythingwentblack

x2 on that. lets see some more photos dude, i think you just sold me. Time to rid my si's... hah

crowe

dude it really is night and day between blades and si's vs hx wheels! i promise from experience.

oh thats not my car! i stole that pic sorry to the owner!

sde780

HX are the bomb. I want a cheap set

crowe

sadly its getting harder to find for cheap especially if they are nice. I just sold my set of 5 for 400 they were mint w/ tires

everythingwentblack

im not too picky, i just want something that either looks simmilair to evos or hx's in white... but not slipstreams since the spokes are too fat and no rotas whatsoever.. hahah I actually plan on doing the type R rip color scheme rip off as well. I have a set of si's soon to have new tires so that will give me a solid selling/trading point somewhere down the road

crowe

go hx! looks like type r wheels! oem > rota all day!

everythingwentblack

yeah i really am thinking about hx's but Im just not a fan of 14's.... 20's all day everday. In fact if it looks like my car is lowered but really my rims are too big thats what I love... *joking* but on a more serious note i was looking for something similar on a 15. the search begins

crowe

the 14 looks nice on a lowered honda and your tires are cheaper!
