Just wondering why nobody seems to go above 15-16" wheels. Is it just for performance?

cuz anything bigger than that looks stupid on a civic. occasionally 17"s look decent, if your not going for performance at all. but anything larger than that just looks retarded

true that, ive got a set f 15 by 6.5 and during summer im getting a set of 16 by 7, but thats the biggest u can go.

plus when a pebble can bend your rim, just driving around think about what could happen while racing

It doesn't look retarded..nor stupid...Everyone has different taste....So basically you just stated your opinion..

I have 20"s on a civic, no performace mods...

17x7 is perfect for autocross racing... smaller rims for drag and every day performance. I've got 17's but wish I would have gone with a smaller rim but everyone loves my rims on my car. 17's just start to weigh to much unless you spend 500/rim for a forged rim.

i have 18's and no fender gap and it looks really good. as far as performance reasons i can't tell much of a difference.

I actually have a 93 Suburban with 22"s on bags....with an Avanlanche front end..

I have an 03 Sedan, they aren't small cars compared to other generation civic-20's look normal on it, specially after the drop.....Not to big, nor to small. Trust me, I'm very picky....and I have nice taste....I'll post pictures no later then tomorrow..

And if you really want to know....I'm looking into getting either one of the following: 300C, Magnum, Charger....Yeah you're probably right, 24"s on it...if I can get my job straight..

What's the deal with the guy who thinks "20's look stupid as f**k"? Everyone has their own opinion.. Hell, what are those on your EG, 13's? In my opinion, I would rather be riding on rusted steelies than those.. And did you paint your hood black? :lol: A follower are we?... So to every man their own. Man, if you want to ride 20's on your civic, do it. Just dont get what everyone else THINKS you should get.. You'll never be happy..

Big wheels go on big cars eh? So the monte carlo in Training day needed 24's? No, try again..

And btw, Ive seen civics with 20's, and they dont look half bad, just too expensive for me lol.. I ride 15-16 because of the comfortable ride..

15-16 is the best all around. they look good, they fit, and if anything for autocross they are too big.

the top racers in the US, autocross that is, are using 13 in rims, they do this so they can have a super wide tire without eating there fenders.

20's are gay and i know you rub so dont try and say they fit.

its ok to state the opinion

you dont have to be so abbrasive.. but it is still just your opinion.. i personally dont like anything over 16's on a civic..


the PROBLEM starts here:

and your stupid if u think it looks good
the name calling.. is uncalled for and is resulting in a warning..

state your opinion about cars all you want when asked for it.. but the name calling is a no no..

thanks..

15x7 rim with a 205/50r15 is about the ideal setup for any civic.
