2 Attachment(s)
Hey guys

I have a white 99 civic si and i am confused between konig britelites & rota GT3 black. My car is stock height so what size should i go for 15" or 16".I dont plan to lower my suspension anytime soon.

Thanks

I have 16" rims on my 98 civic and it looks great, its lowered 2.25" tho.

For more on the looks side go 16" no bigger, for performance go with a 15".

This has been beaten to death. Search is your friend. Your going to see the same answers tho, its your car so its your call. What one person likes another hates.

I have tried searching for britelites on civics but very few of them have it and havent seen any in person so wanted to find out which would look better.As for the size my only concern is what size would look good on a stock height.most of the pics posted are of lowered civics.i wish i could go lower but then its lot of $$$

16" rim will fill the wheel well with more rim then rubber compared to a 15" rimbut either way with the right size tires for your rims your overall diameter is going to be the same or real close.

I guess the qestion is do you want rubber band tires or some sidewall. If your suspension is harsh with stock rims, go 15" if you ride is plush and you can afford to lose some ride comfort go 16".

Go with 15" because it will be lighter and the cost of tires will be cheaper. Performance will also be better with 15", depending on tire choice.

The black with polished lip looks best imo.

i guess i m gonna go with 15" coz if i been with 17" before (205/40/17) due to which the car was slow,lot of road noise and the worst part was when i hit a pot hole which bent the front rim. So if i go with 16's i guess i am gonna be having the same sidewall i.e 40 so its not worth the risk.

And as for the rims i am leaning towards rota gt3 black..hope i get a gud deal

Thanks for your view guys !!
