Default what rims should I buy?

I recently got a 94 civic dx coupe, I have already got the whole tein suspension, the car is the opel green i beleive. now I need some input on what rims and tires i should get to compliment the color of the car, I have a 600 dollar budget for the rims. what do you guys think? (civic is stock, only suspension has been changed).

Do you want us to tell you which direction you should wipe too?

Go look at wheels in the Appearance/Cosmetic forum and pick something that appeals to you. It's time to make your own decisions now.

X2 with a $600 budget though, i can tell you you're going to be getting a set of Rota wheels, or some other oem wheel.

Unless you really like the look of one of those wheels, i'd suggest some blades or something.

actually if you can get your hands on a little more money go to http://www.discounttiredirect.com and search... they have some sexy wheels/tires there... they even have a deal if you buy rims/tires package they mount and balance em and fill em with air for ya and they come in about 4-5 days... its really nice they have great customer service as well.

rims/tires cost anywhere form 500-3000 for a package... mine was like 765 for rims/tires... so you should be alright.

I wouldn't. If you bought square wheels, that's instant 9 second quarter miles. Don't even need turbo or NOS.

being honest, they not mint, they are in good condition but not mint, and one of the tires have a flat, but i can get tires, my uncle owns a tire shop. i should throw him an offer, i wonder how much HX's are at honda, probably too much.

not trying to sound like an *** or anything, but i would rather buy local, just becuase i have seen freinds of mine get screwed over online. not saying you would, unless you have a better way of getting them to me, i live all the way in mass. and if i where to buy them, do they come with tires?
