Default Need help deciding rims on civic?

Okay.... I need help deciding which wheel to keep and which one to get rid of. I have in one pic w/the gsr rims and the other w/enkei rsf-2(i think that's what it's called). PLEASE....... before anyone flames.... The spoiler was just bought used two days ago and was install ahead so I won't be charged extra from the shop when painting. The kit is a wings west rs kit and yes... I just got that kit a couple of days ago too... Everything will be painted by next week. After looking at the euro rear light's and asking my g/f about it... I'll taking it off. So with a crappy scanner to work with I need help deciding which wheel to keep. Thanks


civic w/gsr



civic w/enkei

either one will look good without that wing, its just too big. keep it clean. i suggest u take the wing off and get the holes filled when u get the car painted. if i had to choose one i would go with the enkeis i guess

if I only had a choice between these two, i'd go for the enkei's. Drop the car lower, remove that wing, and remove your clear tails/altezzas and install your OEMs back in. It would look a lot better and cleaner than it does now. Although if I were you, i'd go and find some white CTR/ITR 15" rims and put them in, coz those rims look nice on EGs

I like the GSR's. When its lower theyll look really good. I agree that ITR/CTR wheels would look good but those 5 lug swaps are $$$$$. Stick with the GSR wheels.

actually, both of those rims look good on your car. you just need to get rid of the riceboy stuff (wing and altezzas). drop it lower if you can.

I believe those 96 spec JDM ITR rims would not fit on the eg or any Civic for that matter...they would fit on 92+ preludes and accords as the bolt pattern does not mach the civic or integras.
