What do you guys think of the rim below? Planning on putting these on a Civic SE - 15x7 with 195/60/15 rubber...

Forgot to mention - do you think honda center caps would fit on this?

leave these for the euro cars

With 15x7, you should be able to run 205/55/15 tyre, that's the whole point of going 15x7, or else, you can stay with 6.5

Back on topic, I think the rim looks nice. Do you like it?

Nova dust, going to stick with the 195/60 setup because it is the same as stock. I was told by running the 15x7 rim it will strech the tire so the face will actually be more even on the pavement... the sidewall is also supposed to be stiffer resulting in better handling.

I like the rims personally, just don't know how they will look on the civic

Funny thing is, I already purchased them with Yoko AVS ES100 - should be in next week for the tire rack.

these rims are wicked for older euros... def NOT for a 05 Civic

birdman-c

Ouch!!!!!

Ok... what about this one?



Already purchased the borbets from tire rack... guess I will have to return. It will be a $60 restock charge but them's the brakes :/

Or these...

One more - remember this is a 15x7 wheel... so keep that in mind when visualizing on my civic

I gotta be honest with you, the first set of rims you posted, the wheels won't look good on the '05. Out of all the wheels you posted, I think these will be best.

Nova_Dust

Honestly, it is hard to pick. There is a crap load of rims out there and everyone likes different stuff. You really have to pick one for yourself because we are not driving your car dude, you are.

As long as the price is right, the style is right, buy it. Too much comments from others will only confuse yourself. It will only good if you like it.

The rims will not look ugly on your car because I say so. However, they will look nice on your car if you agree with it in the first place.

Plus, you have already ordered them, that means you like them yourself. Asking for comments at this very moment will only bring you unnecessary confusion. See what you are thinking now? You are thinking of return them, pay the restocking fee and pick another set just because someone said no? So you pay the 60 bucks, order another set and ask again, someone say no and you will return again, and pay another 60 bucks?

Bro, get what you like, not what other people like.

Get 16s. all those will look out of place if they're any smaller IMO.

birdman-c

Nova_Dust - your right... I gotta pick what I like. I personally like the Mille Miglia HT3 in Carbon Grey... I think they will go good with Magnesium Grey.

Last question that nobody has been able to answer... if I get the 16"s, will it look like massive wheel gap on a stock suspension setup? (this car will not be lowered). Tire size will be 205/50-16. That was my main concern, hence I orignally ordered 15" - I have searched up and down for a stock setup on 16" rims but cannot find anything...

PS - you guys have been a great help!

imported_zc_hatch

a 16 with a 50 sidewal wouldn't be too bad, but if you had a 17 with a 40 sidewalled tire it would look funny not lowered

imported_GoldBadge

i don't think it would look too bad with 16s and not lowered. if it does, then you could always try some H&R OE Sports (1" drop) or those ones that tein makes (they have like 0.75 - 1" drop too).

Those Mille Miglias are real nice...especially grey on a grey car. Personally, i think that any smaller than 16 might make them look out of proportion. they have nice open spokes, so with a bigger rim, the spokes will be bigger and look better.

Just my 2 Cents. Like Nova said, get what you think is best. It's your car and your money.

birdman-c

GoldBadge - that is a great suggestion... Let me ask - how much does the install of H&R OE Sports springs cost? I know nothing about lowering a car etc.

I hear the camber can change as well, that is why I am trying to stay away from a drop.

If you're buying the wheels form TireRack, they have a feature that allows you to put the wheel on a picture of your car to see what it looks like. I like the second wheels. If you get 15's now, you'll probably wish later on that you went bigger. Winter is coming, so keep your stock wheels on and decide over the winter on how big or how low you want to go.
