Default Which wheels should I buy?

Hey guys, I recently just painted my car and I'm loving the look now. All I have to do is lower it and change the rims.

15" BBS
15" roller Machined Konig
15" Konig Backbone


I've been thinking about these rims not too sure which one to get.
If you have suggestions of other rims just post a pic and let me know thanks!

The BBS is really kind of in a league of it's own out of these three. If you have BBS money then why the other knock offs? Also, what height, width, and offset are you going for?

I'm still not too familiar with the height, width, and offset, but I want less tire and more rim.

Then you will probably want the bbs wheels, although I would go with a white face rather than the gold

BBS are basically my dream wheels when i graduate college and have a good job.
If you can find some in great condition for a decent price, I say go for it.

If you can't find a good set, I'd say Konig Rollers, even though people tend to talk down upon them for replicate wheels, including that model.

Your paint looks great btw! Why isn't the grill painted too though?

And if you have BBS RS money why even bother with the other two choices. For a 1300 dollar wheel budget there are so many to choose from.

I think you'll have better luck posting in the Wheel & Tire forum. There will be a redirect in the Civic forum to route people from the original location

The BBS RS has nice contrast with your car color (assuming you're getting gold RS) =]

Well I guess I'm the only one that would go for the black konigs.

Looks like you've already got some gold pieces on the car so why not go for the gold BBS wheels.
