I don't like it at all. That's just my opinion. Maybe a bronze of the same rim? I just don't care for the color. Also, is your car lowered? Because the fender to tire gap is much bigger on a stock height si.

not feeling the style OR the coloring.

Together they are not a good combo (however this is my personal opinion)


If i still had my civic si and was in the market for a rim/tire setup

I would go with a comptech spring/HFP shock combo
and the rim tire setup would be

N1R Becketts in Gold 16"
(currently on special for 499 shipped
http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/....html



with a nice sticky azenis or neo gen


but thats just me.....

Cant go wrong with Bronze TE's on NBP.


17 HFP's will look great coupled with some Comptech Springs

well my main thing is that I still have the factory summer tires which are 215/45/17 and I am going to keep those. So I would be needing something that is 17x7.5. There are a lot of rims that are 17x7 though. I don't know many sites for wheels but I was looking at the volks you guys are mentiong, and I do like them, but I believe they are only 17x7. That is my main concern. Whether they are $400 or even $1000 the price isn't really a biggie, but I am looking for a max of like $800ish.

I think I found the wheels I'm going to get. Rota D2's Royal Gold off of http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/rims/rota-list.html for only $550. 17x7.5 5x114.3 45mm offset. I'm doin it.

Do these wheels come with tires? I did not see on the site.

I would've posted the pic but I'm at work..
