i just bought an 01 civic in silver and was wondering what rims to get...some input would jbe nice....i cant decide between green rota grids w/ 215/45r17 tires or green JSPL w/215/50r16 tires. what do you guys think? 16 or 17...im racking my brain here and cant decide...i saw the pic of the kid with the starks and still cant decide...i like thick sidewalls but dont know if 215/50 might just be too thick...am i just being retarded...or is there really that much of a noticeable difference between the two...any info would be great...


thx

 

dont get fakes get the real things volk grams etc etc etc

 

believe me i would love too...but this is a build that i am doing on a VERY limited budget...cant spend $2K on rims with a newborn, 2 yr old, and a 4yr.old

 

rims brands aside....and info on the rim/tire size?
thx

 

green wheels make the car look aggressive, if you dont have anything to back it up, it will look really bad.

the paint on the grids isn't really nice, i've seen many sets in real life, the paint makes them look really cheap/tacky.

out of your choice i'd pick JSPL's in anything but green unless you have mods to support the "green". for tire size i'd recommend 205/50/16 - they are perfect for our cars.

the kid with the starks has 225/50/16, thats why they look meaty...

 

its your car.. you shouldnt base it off of other peoples likes and dislikes.. if u think theyre cool, then go for it. regardless if u really want input.. green wheels ftl.... bronze... hmmm

 

Darker wheels looked good on my silver car. I have silver wheels now tho.

 

dark wheels

I love how you call me a "kid", even though I'm older than you.

And, I have 215/50/16's, which <u>are</u> the perfect size for the car. Overall tire height is identical to stock, which is what you should be trying to achieve.

1010tires and miata.net both have really nice Tire Size Calculators, to help figure out what size tires you'll want. Personally, 16" wheel are the biggest the car needs, but that's all down to personal preference.

Welcome to the site, though.

Well, I've got RS-Betas on the car now, if that makes you feel any better.
