nothig bigger than 17 on an integra, otherwise you'll look like your ride is jacked up 3feet... however, if you got a kit (not just a lip but a KIT) then u can prolly get away with 18s

between your two choices i would get the 17's... they wont kill your performance AS MUCH as the larger 18's and tires will be a bit less expensive in the 17" since thats more common... 16" can be had for a pretty decent price nowadays but that wasnt one of your listed options.. so between your 2 i'd go w/ 17's..

18's man. if show is your thing, go 18. they will make people drool... they fit in those wheel wells just right and tight. look at my sig for a link to my homepage, you will see I had 18" tantrums.... LOL, people would just have their jaws on the ground when it cruised by.

I am a roadracer/cornercarver at heart, so I sold 'em and am nowadays rollin' on 15" wheels with super sticky Yokohama/Advan AO32R slicks.

haha, whenever I see 18's on torqueless Hondas I admit I turn my head. But to giggle quietly. Then grimace at how they make the brakes look even smaller.

I'm glad you're into performance now.

First of all, Focals are ugly and look heavy, so get something else. Secondly, get either 15 or 16 inch wheels.

some people like focals, not me but him,he wasnt asking whether you approved of them or not. and he asked if he should get 17s or 18s...I never saw 15 or 16 in the picture. x2. I would say to go with the 17s for street/show, but even the 18s would work if you plan on competing in shows alot, it would probably help out.

I'd say 17's. My little brother has the R3's on his '95 Civic, they look really good imo. I think he is trying to sell his rims actually, for pretty cheap. If you're interested here is a pic of them on his car: http://repo.jackmoves.com/index.cgi?...ewimage&id=798

If you want to contact him his email is jd@jackmoves.com. They are 17" inch wheels, not sure about the detailed specs like width and offset though...
