Have a set of Motegi mr3s one rim needs replaced but these are kind of har to find and generally a little overpriced when found I can get a set of 17inch chrome giovannas with two good tires for 350 but they are from a chick and have light curb rash or a set of nice mint Katana 18s with new tires for 450 but I think they are too much for my civic ex any opinions guys? this is driving me crazy if I had the money I would just buy em all

 

IMO. I would not put 17's on a civic.

I know its all about personal preference, but 17's seriously do not look right at all. I dont care if they were TE-37's I still wouldn't have them on my car if they were 17's

 

17s look ok on a ek! but if its a EG gotta be 15" or 16"

 

everyones entitled to their own opinion but 17's can look fine if done right




chopped it with a couple of adjustments lowered it a little more and a change in colour

 

17's on a Civic reminds me of a Volkswagen.

So 18s are definitely too big? probably rip the lugnut and bolt right off comin out of a hard turn??Its a 99 civic and 17s actually look alright which were what was on there when I got it I found a rim but its pricey what im paying for a mint rim and a mounted new tire is half what those 18s cost

 

17"s are like dubs for a Civic.

17s for a hatch look stupid in my opinion, not so much on a coupe though, as long as its lowered.

 

i had a set of 18's on my 00, they looked good, but thats about all they were good for. i took some really hard corners and never had any problems, just lost quite a bit on acceleration. if you want looks and thats all go with the bigger rims. if you want performance a nice set of 15's or 16's with a great set of tires will be the better bet.

maybe he should just get some dubs, he is looking at chrome giovanni's and katanas...

 

You say they look rite if done rite. Then you list pics but i still think it looks bad, but thats MY opinion

 

If you want a comfortable ride I'd stick to 15s or 16s.

You have some pictures of the rims?

Well I could honestly care less what size they are as long as they look good its all about the car and the rim style I am mainly concerned about $ and I don't wanna damage the car the 17s on there are pretty light and they can take a beating so guess Ill roll with em. Appreciate everyone's opinion thanks
