What color is your car? I have a 00 coupe with 15 inch rota c8's in bronze (my car is black) and I love it..go with some rotas...best bang for the buck...But it also depends on what you like, I personally dont like big rims, flashy body kits and what not but if thats what you are into a bigger rim looks better..just my 3.5556 cents

what's the benefit of 18's besides BLING y0! ?? IMO, a large waste of money, but its your car. If you ever plan on racing, any kind, say good bye to winning.

stop bumping the topic if you want to sell something go to the classifieds if you want more opinion's. well ill tell you what 98% of the people on here will tel you stick with 15's or 16's i personally like 15's cause tires are cheaper, and you can get a 7" wide wheel in 15's

18's are cool for pimpin rides but if you want to go fast go with 15's or 16's. if you are wanting to sell hit up a ricer website

if he wants to go fast hes gonna need alot more then decreasing the size of his wheels.


my suggestion is to keep the wheels and spend some money on an underbody kit, something sublte but enought so that it makes the wheels flow better.

those 18's look nice but you are gonna lack in performance such as traction and accelleration


this is my theory
15's-good for performance
16's-good for perfromance and a little in the appearance department
17's-this is what i have(alot of people flame but i like them but they slow me down)
18''s-all for appearance but i think they look good with a godd drop such as yours

one thing i never got to do is get anything larger than 15's on either of my civics..

ive always wanted 16's..

anyway, 18's are cool if ur not worried about performance, and u have a NICE drop to compensate
