i personally would go with 17's or 16's- if ride height is an issue, get some springs- the prolines are nice they drop you i think 1.8-and i ask of you, dont get bling.

I had 17's on my last lude, and decided to go w/ 18's this time. Not only do they look WAY better, but the weight difference isn't that much. if you get chrome i'll have to hurt you, though. I have hyper black ADR's. they're way costier than 17's, though. my old setup cost me 600 bucks total (sale on the wheels w/ federal tires) My new set up (ADR 18's w/ Yokohama Parada tires) $1,800.00. so there's alwayt that to take into consideration, too.

Before I totalled my 5G civic EX Coupe: ...

I had a slammed civic w/ ground controls, I believe 2.0" drop in front, and 2.5" in the rear, rolling on some lightweight ADR GT-Sports...I dont know, I thought it was the shit till I got my replacement, my pride and joy, my LUDE!!!!
