Default Noob here.

I just bought a 92 civic vx which im picking up on monday. Im really wanting to mod this car. I was wondering what size rim would be the best between and 15 or 16. Also where can I find a carbon fiber lip like the spoon one?

Search around. 15" are probably your best bet.

since you did post in a tech forum i will give you a tech answer. do a motor swap. if you want to be a hard *** get the new hasport kit and put in a k20/k24. if you just want to be a cool guy in a pretty quick civic throw in a b18c1, or if you wanna go the cheap but very effective route go with a b18b. i am a fan of stock wheels because you can find them cheap. i also like 15"s cause the tires for them are cheaper and they look just as good as 16s. i wouldnt get to crazy with the looks of the car first because there are a lot of slow civics out there that look fast, but that is not cool cause we dont drive celicas (haha, look fast, get it). keep it even do a swap or wheels first, and then do the other.

If i had the money id go with a k20/k24, so im thinking im gonna go with the b18c1,or b18b. But I dont have enough money for those so i might end up with a b16a. Cause i wanna make this car fast and handle good so i can take it to the track.
