Well my friend got 17"s for about $4000 TT (which is $633.98 US) so I'd like to be within that general range.

- Sun Feb 15, 2009 5:32 pm #96605 I think 17's are a lil too big on your car, 16's at the most would be the way to go. I'm a 15's kinda guy myself.

- Sun Feb 15, 2009 5:33 pm #96607 Do you plan on lowering it at all?
15" on a lowered 92-95 cvic looks perfect in my opinion.
14" and 16" also look good but 17" is too big I think.

- Sun Feb 15, 2009 5:37 pm #96609 I was thinking 16" myself with low profile tyres & no plans of lowering

15x7 in the +15

You pick your color.

Car would definately need a mild drop though.

- Sun Feb 15, 2009 5:41 pm #96612 Are the roads bad in your area? I would consider lowering if possible, not just for the look, but it literally makes the car handling difference like night and day. It was the most fun modification I ever did to my car and you enjoy the benefits every second.

Even a mild drop, not slammed, will be an improvement.

- Sun Feb 15, 2009 5:57 pm #96617 I know of the lowering benefits but I guess the local roads are one of the reasons why I never planned on lowering.

Some of my personal options/choices:

- Sun Feb 15, 2009 10:10 pm #96687 Just stay away from 17's.. For your car color, I'd suggest matte black or gunmetal colored rims..

- Sun Feb 15, 2009 10:23 pm #96689 agreed, stay well clear of 17's. If you can lower i'd say do, it makes such a difference and a set of 15's will sit so nicely under the arches

- Sun Feb 15, 2009 11:41 pm #96701 do what you wnat but i would stay away from 17's also...too much rub. unless your plannin a show car.
