everyone remember...
...my post on gettin the heliums? Well now I want to know if you all think the bronze or silver...Im leaning toward the silver but the bronze is so flashy in an understated way...that doesnt make any sense... anyway...what do you all think?
Yes Im still goin with the 17"-ers, theyre so light (under 14lbs) I really dont care about that, and 15" is too small...cause its what I got now and I cant stand it |

oh yeah and imho 17's look completely gay.. 16's are stretching it... its NOT just weight that plays into slowing the car down..

100% agree with OC, bronze, and smaller. i think 17's are a bit big on my car.

i think 17s look perfect on a civic. you can still haul ass with them, it just takes a little more, but since they are so light it won't be as much of a problem. i say go with the 17s unless your are just straight up racing and personally i think the silver looks best.

I have the 15 inch gunmetal C8s on my civic. The only problem that I have had with them is the fact that they only come in a +38mm offset. Mine rub a little but it may also be my tires since Im running 205/50s if you run a 195/50/15 or a 205/45/16 (depending on what size wheels you get) you maybe fine. I think the C8s look good.. If you want pics of them on a black car I can show you some of mine. But mine are gunmetal not bronze.

i think bronze is the best looking color for a black car. i also think 16's are better. imo 17's are too big, and some 15's are too small for a good brake kit.

you have alot of reading to do if you think 17's dont hurt you that much. i dunno... hauling ass on 15's in a civic is pushing it. i guess if your going for show, 17's and 18's are alright, but think about what you want from your car... if its speed, dont consider 17's unless your pushing ALOT of power. i dont even want 17's and i have a larger car with a bit more power

i say if he wants 17's then hell let um have um, but look for the rota slipstreams, the look like spoon rims of course and they come in multicolors
white, silver, black, gunmetal, bronze more maybe i can't remember off the top of my head |

I got the helium 15's and didn't want too cuz I was tired of how 15's looked on all my cars (wanted 16's) but these are the first 15's I've owned that really do look right on the car. They're so open they look good.
if you want the 17's then get what you want but I thought I wouldn't like the helium 15's either and now I luv'em plus they're RETARDED cheap.
