yep, this thread once again convinces me that 18" wheels on a FC look all chollo, and funky.
I guess if you like the oversized out of balance to the lines of the car look and all the extra slow (that is the opposite of FAST) weight... well all the power to you.

ok new guy here. I am looking for 15" wheels for my "beater" . Does anyone make an 8" rim ?? Also how big of a "Drag Radial" can ya squeeze in the rear ?? thanks ..
Hey bro my suggestion is that you look at other peoples cars and decide for your self what is the proper size,height,weight, and design that fits you.....
you will hear a lot of 18 are too big and 17 are just right....well just get both if you can afford it
i am running 18x8 ...these are my show wheels
if i want to go and play with the boys and boost around i have 16 R32 GTR skyline wheels WITH LITTLE FATTYS
its up to you just remember its what you like and not what others do, after all you will be looking at the car every morning

they dont look to bad from the front but from a plain side view they seem huge
you will be asking your self WHERES THE TIRE?? i had 215/35/18

im sure they fit the civic just right, until he got to the end of the block to make a left and the wheel well rubbing was so bad it ripped the whole hub off and caused a 4 car accident, stupid ricer kids

I'll take more pics later. I bought the car with the rx8 rims intalled. The guy I bought it from had an rx8 and that's where the rims came from. you'll need spacers for all the wheels if not the front ones will rub on the inside.
I agree with Icemark. The FC's sweet spot for rims Is w/o a doubt ones having 17" rims. Having anything bigger gives It a "bloated" look and detracts from our cars lines.
Just by buck o' five.
