opinions on rims
I'm looking to buy gunmetal rims for my 96 DX coupe.
and the ones that have appealed to me most are the rota circuit 8's, or maybe the slipstreams. I like the buddy club SF P1's but I think I like the C8's better. Are these played out, or crappy, or just gay? I want to get some nice rims, and right now theres a group buy for the C8's or slipstreams for 400 shipped. Only thing is I've never seen a civic with C8's so I'm not sure how it would look. Also I don't know much about offset or anything like that, do I have to specify a certain offset when I buy rims? Thanks for the help and opinions.

Maybe you should just buy mine. 17' SSR GPO Evoultions w/ nt450. A 3-piece wheel. I also have 2 extra center caps. These were lighter than my Racing Hart Type-C's I had.

I thought about 17's, but thinking I should stick with 15's. I'm not sure how my car would perform with 17's, I don't imagine it would be to great. btw any pics of the SSR's?
