Who are you building the car, us or for you? If you are building it for me, I'd like to see some volk te37 or regamaster evos. If you are building it for you, look inside of yourself and think what wheels do I want to see everyday, then buy those.

Authentic JDM wheels: ie: SSR, Work, Racing Hart, Sprint Hart, Advan, 5Zigen etc....

If you don't know what real wheels are then you should just stick with replicas

All the manufactures make a variety of sizes and offsets. Normal civic size is 15x7 +32\+42
16x7 +32/+42

If you want the "stanced" look go for advice somewhere else, I like proper fitting wheels

OP, this is purely opinion "what should I get?" Find wheels in your budget that you like, and buy them, or save up for real wheels, and buy them, as you have to live with them. It is that simple. It is YOUR car, regardless of what people think, **** talking, etc., get what you want. If it is that hard of a choice, find the two you like the most and flip a coin.

This is an appearance/cosmetic section, but this is way too vague and you are asking US to ultimately make a choice for you. If there were questions for differences in wheels regarding quality, construction, forged vs cast, etc., it may be a different story, but this is purely just on looks. All of your questions can be answered in a simple google search as well as taking some time to really think about what YOU want, as none of us here will see your car or drive it everyday. We can suggest wheels and brands until a zombie apocalypse happens, but we aren't buying wheels for your car, you are.

Asks for help. Gets an attitude. How about you get whatever wheels you like, there's a thought.

You should be happy an OG like gambit even wasted his time trying to answer your question.

I like round wheels. Get those.

Seriously how are you going to rely on complete strangers to tell you what to buy? Do you walk into Walmart and ask strangers to pick out your clothes?

Since this thread is going nowhere fast, its getting closed.

And, to be honest, there are several threads out there with 1996-2000 Civic sedans on aftermarket wheels to help you decide what you like best. As for the request on what others like... it has been mentioned several times in this thread, that you should probably be purchasing based on your own tastes.
