Wheel Opinion Needed

ncPredator · 11-25-2006, 10:59 PM

Currently '07 Galaxy Grey Civic Coupe, though I have a custom paint job in the works (Flat Metallic Gunmetal Grey/Black. It will be glorious). I'm looking at either:

WedsSport SA-70 (18")

O.Z. Ultraleggera (18")

O.Z. Superturismo (19")

I am planning on lowering the car some with Tein Coilovers, so I would also like to know if anyone has had problems with rubbing, etc. after lowering. I know that there are some cases of performance loss and/or gas mileage deterioration with larger wheels, so would it be a really bad idea to get 19's?
Thanks for the help.

i would go with the first one because im a sucker for darker colored wheels

Drool... I like the dark ones...

19's on an R18 motor is probably not a good idea unless they are light because your car will slow right down....

Personally I'd say stick with 18's and go for the SA-70's.

The SA-70's would look nice with the gunmetal paint...the superturismo's would look bada$$ on any 8thgen...

The second ones are badass, I really don't like dark rims except on NHBP, and the last ones have too many spokes.

Oooo they all look great. can't go wrong with any of them But I like the dark ones at the top the most, then the second ones and the third ones are just alright. haha its kinda funny i like them best to worst in order that the appear haha. But yah go with the first ones, the dark ones

I would go with the first ones....I think they'd look pretty nice with the paint scheme you've got planned.

trixnrice · 11-26-2006, 03:35 PM
