Ok, I have been looking to get a set of 17 inch slipstreams and have looked a pictures of them and the most popular I have seen are the 15's with a large profile tire. Is that the style or is there more function than what I am seeing. Are the rims so weak that require a little more meat for protection against are sh*tty roads? My buddy has a set of 17's on his WRX with low pro's with no prob. Just wondering, I am new to the import seen but have done my fair share of customizing on other vehicles.

I know they are kinda played out but I like them and I have never seen them on a civic where I am at surprising enough, So CAL

 

it all depends on the car the wheels are going on. if u put 17's on a civic your going to loose low end torque and more than likely they are going to rub. besides that its gonna look like a monster truck. the optimum wheel sizes for hondas are 15'' and 16''. however, wheel size is a personal preference kinda thing. most ppl consider 17'' and above to be ricer status.

 

I went with 16" gunmetal slips w/ a polished lip wrapped in 215/40's. They looked great, were exceptionally functional at 13.5lbs each (wheels only), and stong. I prefer the 16" look on the Civics.

 

westcoaststyle, You have any pics. I plan on dropping it with the omni pwoer coilovers with the camber adjusters. This to be exact: http://www.passwordjdm.com/product.a...For=&PT_ID=277

I have a 2000 Civic EX coupe so if i went with 16's, what offset do i need?

 

His car was the last featured ride. It might still be in that section.

 

I don't know why but the 16's look alot smaller on a civic in person. Great looking ride, looks like im going with 16's. Thanks again for the input.

 

45mm offset

Last pics I have (taken the day I sold it):

Hey westcoaststyle. What rims did you have on the civic? Those look like the ones I am looking for. Btw, your ride looked nice.
