damn those are all tough choices..i guess some 16inch TE37s would be my choice, since you already have some bling type wheel you need a sleeper style wheel..if you can call anything volk sleeper.

No, I can't imagine considering any car with wheels more than $150 a piece being a sleeper. If you can spend the cash for an expensive wheel, who knows what else you can spend it on. That's my view.

I like the TE-37's, and always have. I also like the ce28n's, but I'm not sure they would look as good on a Civic. On an S2000, they're gravy.




I absolutely love bronze wheels, and these are some of the nicest bronze wheels you can get. Pictures courtesy of mackinindustries.com.



Here is a pic of the Work's wheels, just so you have a nice side by side comparo of the three.

personally I'm gonna be going with works on my white CRX (gunmetal finish) but my other choice was a set of T37's so i'd go with one of those two.

choice # 2, in a black or gunmetal finish would look slick.

Nice call on the TE37s. Go with the 16s because they're a perfect balance between looks and performance. (under 12lbs)

for the cost of any of these you could have multiple sets of rotas that are almost as light and you won't have to worry about theft/curbing quite so much.. its your money obviously.. but I cant see spending the cost of volk's for the weight reduction..

i can under stand what your sayin about spendin 400 for a set of rotas,but lets face it everyones got em,i currently own volk gt-n's ,i really dont have a problem with spendin the $$$$$$$$ on a GREAT set of wheels,ya rotas are good but there not my cup of tea,everything i see now a days is rota rota rota,and it get tiring to see, lol,if rota wasnt even around,then the fakes wouldnt be around and everyone would have to spend money on the real deal so having a company around like rota gives the people who dont wanna spend the money on brand names.........and the people like me a chance to be diffrent from everyone else well sorta..lol

but any whoo,i like all the idea and having getting lost in queens/bayside NYC yesterday i passed by FIZZ autosports,yes fizz,and saw that the ce28n 8 spoke are what im gonna go after in a 16",since my ctn's are 17" i wanna go smaller and have 2 sets of wheels big and small

ohhh and fizz was wall to wall parts,i was in heaven.........

I don't think any of those wheels are sleeper at all. Lose the BB kit and go with a 15inch Honda alloy

I would go with the ce28n's.



1. they are not seen as much around.. well, i haven't seen them as much.
2. very nice color in that pic above, it would go well with your color civic assuming
your is the one in your avatar.
3. they can fit your brake setup

I SAY ce28's!!!! all the way...TE37 are like rotas soo many people have them.. well that i seen on here anyway.
just my .02
