looks to be ciel show off front, buddy club rear, m3 sides, and ground designs wing. talk about mix match.

i agree, 16s would look sweet.

props, but it's not my thing :happysad:

IMHO, the rims, exhaust tip, and wing are all too big. The kit doesn't really flow well considering the bottom of the front and the sideskirts, but I'm sure it looks alright in person. But overall, it works.

you should consider either going all-red with the tails, or smoking the clear part I love the theme you got.

I used to love those rims, before I began seeing them all over town. I say you sell them and slap some 16 inch gm Circuit 8's on.

Going an inch smaller would've been gravy, but seeing how low your car would've been if you did, I can understand why you chose the 17's.

Personally, I like rims with a polished lip on it, but that's just me...

I think the size is fine. With a kit, you need to have bigger wheels. When my car didn't have a kit, 16's were fine.

But honestly, it's all up to you. Nice choice :thumbup:

Bullshit, 17's are in no way huge on the street. Come on now, they're an inch bigger than 16's. An inch isn't huge, barely noticable.

Maybye 19's are for show cars, but not 17's.

17's look great on Civic's, but it also depends on your setup and what type of driving you do as well. If you just cruise then 17's would be fine, but if you plan to do a lot of racing, a smaller size wheel might be optimal. It really has more to do with the weight than the rim size though if you're looking for speed because they should still have the same diameter between 16's and 17's.
