so now that the tax return is coming I have so much problem trying to decide wich size to go
I dont know 18's would look ricey or would look nice or 17 would look small and cheap lol
so far I like the 18" Work CR Kai Emotions so what do u guys have in your fa5

 

I roll on 17s for daily (lighter and better mpg) but occasionally will swap out for my 18s to go to meets or shows. 17's better for daily 18's more for show.

 

i would roll on 17's too, 18's seem a little big to me

 

Depends on the style of the wheel, the Mugen GPs on mine are 18s but they dont look big at all

 

If you went 17 with a wider wheel and stretched the tire a bit it wouldn't look cheap.

 

think 17's will look mint.......

 

i personally like how 17s look on the car better than 18s. go wit a 17x7.5 +35. or somethin like it. nice off set and a little wider will look hot. im guessing ur dropped?

 

Are any of you guys with aftermarket wheels having any problems with the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring) light? I want to invest in some wheels to in the future just wanted to know if aftermarket wheels will cause that light to stay on the dash?

 

get new tpms monitors or just swap the ones from ur stockers. i dont think the 06-07s have them tho(is this right). if the tpms light is on(not low pressure light) then vsa will always be enabled.

 

Actually...you have it backwards. When the low tire pressure light is on, VSA is automatically enabled, even if you push the button. When the TPMS light is on, you can still turn VSA on and off.

And before you go telling me I'm wrong, I tested this today. I almost told you that you had it backwards earlier when I read it, but thought to myself, "maybe he's right". But just about an hour ago, I took my Si out to one of my commercial snowplow accounts to see how much was on the roads/sidewalks.

My TPMS light is still on from when my valve stem broke off a week and a half ago. (I've replaced all my tires with Toyo Proxes 4s and replaced the broken valve stem/TMPS since, but haven't had a chance to get to Honda to have them reset the code).

Anyway, I was driving around, had the VSA kick on a couple times. Then I remembered your post, and decided to see if I could turn the VSA on and off. It turned off without a problem and my car spun the tires in snow without a problem. It's a good thing too, because I couldn't get up my driveway with the VSA on. Clicked it off, and she went right up there.

Also, I remember that the VSA comes on automatically with Low tire pressure from the dragstrip. I tried one time to low the pressure. For one, the lowered pressure didn't help at all with traction, and the VSA came on automatically, not allowing a good launch.

 

are you sure...https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-2006-2015-79/question-re-vsa-tpms-2373433/

i constantly hear both.

 

The Mugen SI 18" (16.5lb) are lighter than the stock SI 17" rims (23 lbs) by almost 7lbs which is VERY significant.

 

id rock gp's if i had the cash, but id probably go for somethin else at those prices

 

And how much more expensive are those rims??

EXACTLY!

 

Don't hate! Lol. Just pointing out that the 18" Mugen GP rims are still functional even if they cost an arm and a leg.

 

Yeah...at least on my car lol. I know my VSA went off, because it kept bogging me down and not letting me get up my driveway. Once I clicked it off, my car spun the rest of the way up.
