If you want 15"s you might as well leave on the stock rims or hub caps you will want to go bigger, later. They just wont stand out enough to even spend the money on them.

Try 17"s or 16"s
Ask around, people you know will sell you their used wheels for a lot cheaper then you will find at a store.

Good luck bro hope you find what you are looking for

WTF?? Whats wrong with 15s lots of people run them, they actually perform better then 16s or 17s. 15s are perfect size from a performance stand point on civics. I personally dig the racer look, TMO. But not everyone has the same opinion.

Ive had 2 sets of 17s and then I went to 15s and am so glad I did. Ill probably never run another set of 17s on my civic again.

i myself prefer some lightweight 16's for performance and everyday driving. 17's for show though, of course

and well, Rotas are where its at. i have a set now and am about to order some new wheels from them to ride on for a while, 17" though, but they will be for show once i pick out a set of 16's i like for everyday driving

16s sound like the best of both worlds.

I have 15's currently and have been pondering 15's again for weight purposes or just go w/ 16's and still be conservative...

15's are great all aroudn pretty much but for a bigger look go w/ the 16's...but in the end it will be with what you think will look and be best...

Good luck on the decision...

if you care about accelaration, get 15's. you'll never get bored, trust me... i used to have big wheels (17's) and i regret buying 'em.. waste of money! it made my car slower and i hated that! you have a civic..if you put 17's on it you'll have the show, but not the GO...
now if you care for the looks, then get 22's...

my hybrid w/ 15 rota c8's..

these rims rule... You can get them for like 400$ for a set of four.. You cant find hardly any other rim that cheap except maybe some white or black American Racing Nuggets that you find on a 4x4 truck!!
