Default rims for civic! help!

hey guys, i'm thinking about modifying my 04 civic's rims, changing it from 15s to 16s, but problem is i still can't decide on what brand to get. i'm thinking about making it look like a jdm one. right now, i'm considering either work emotion cr kai or 5zigen pro racer gn+. can anyone tell me any other good brands out there that will look nice on an 04 civic?

both the CR KAI and GN+ look great. im guessing your price range is between 250-300 per wheel.

JDM= :ghey:

sorry just sick of it already.


Anyways when picking out a rim you have to look for 4 things.

Style: Main one of course, get something that appeals to you and not someone else, its your car.

Strength: Look for a wheel that look like it could hold the weight of your car at least 3 fold. That way you dont have to worry about the rim crumbling under pressure. mm mm ba dup.

Weight: Try to find a rim that doesnt weigh more that your stocks. Rim weight is an important factor when it comes to speed. You dont want to slow down the acceleration of your car just to have nice heavy rims.

Offset: Ask around as to what is the best offset for your car, you dont want something that sticks out like a cockroach or too far in where your car looks like its too wide for your rims. You want an offset where if you intend to drop your car it doesnt hit the fender if it bottoms out.

hope that helps.
