I am thinking about 18's but i am not sure how that would make the ride feel compared to a 17'' rim which is the stock size. I guess 17 but if you want some more flash get 18's lol.

I'd say 17 or 18. No more than 18 though.

I have some 17's coming, but I may also get a set of 18's when I wanna have a little extra bling.

I think the car looks good lowered with 17"
and you can have more tires than 18"
(anyone, correct me if i'm wrong)
And for the 18" rims, I think they're too big
for the civic if you don't have any kind of bodykits
plus smaller tires than the 17"
(anyone, correct me if i'm wrong again)

17" or 18" both look good on the new civic. I've seen 18" on the new civic and they look good imo. Nothing wrong with the 17" but I wouldnt go smaller.

all rims seem to look smaller on the new civics. 17's look like 16's, 18's look like 17s.

17 for performance (acceleration) 18 for looks. 18s you feel the road a lot more though.
