I just got some 17"'s for my 96 civic. I am waiting on my lowering springs but could take up to a month to get. What I want to know is....will 17's look gay on a civic that is not lowered? I really want to put them on but am afraid of how they will look. Or should I just wait for the springs

ahhh i don't think it'll look all that bad.....as long as it'z a coupe and not a sedan or hatch.....and as long as ur rims aren't chrome........then u could potentially get away with it........

and if there not that aftermarkety looking.....lol

craig45131

yea...its a coupe and they arnt chrome.

imported_~ILLEST CIV~

craig45131

They are RS Limited 17x7 White Rims

white, 17" and not lowered = looks like ***

like wearing black socks with sandals

meh, its not thattttttt bad... If i had them without springs id be rollin on them... your car will be more responsive with them, might as well do it for the better handeling.

imported_twinbros

looks kinda gay but that's just my opinion.
No rush to get lowering springs during the winter anyways.
Just put the rims on and see for yourself.

DJTre

Yeah it does look weird.
PM spracingsports, he has pics. He is also rolling on 17's, and his ride isn't lowered.

just put them on and stand back and take a look, u can be the judge... i had 17"s on my coupe and it didnt look that bad... but it would look better lowered

Cynikal.Mindset

why not even just wait til spring so u dont ruin your rims in snow and all that crap?

spracingsports

^^^^ go with that opinion

StewPiddass

I agree, I wouldn't necessarily wait for springs... but i would wait for spring!

On that note, when I put my 17's on my EL it looked like ***, I had it lowered within 3 days!

spracingsports

i got 16''s and no lowering....

imported_EH_94_Civic

I agree with this. Plus it would look funny. ive seen it looks heck better lowered. but wait for your springs. whats the rush. want to show them off to the snow plow and pot holes

imported_~ILLEST CIV~

Yah it would look better lowered like everyone else said......but like Tank1364 said........u gotta judge for urself....if u like the look keep it.......it'z ur car man.......ur style......keep ur style and keep it for a lack of better words "REAL" to urself.......

But for sure i agree with EH_94_Civic don't put ur rims on now......cause that would just...no u'll ruin it...lol

SPRING & SUMMER RIM TIME....lol
