i also wanted to know if putting aftermarket wheels on a new car (civic Si) would VOID any type of warranty's? i wanna get 17" wheels with the same profile sized tire. 215-45-17 so i won't feel much difference. i like the size of the tire and wheel size that the Si's come with OEM.

thats not bad looking dannyar. OH, and i don't plan on dropping my car either anytime soon even with new aftermarket wheels. i like the OEM struts, springs, and shocks on the Si's are pretty damn good already

Dannyar, is your car dropped? doesn't look like too much but if it isn't at all then that just proves how nice an Si looks with just wheels put on with it's OEM suspension.
