18"...


^Moda MD5


^Enkei Performance WDM


^ASA GT1


^ASA AR2 V2


Or...if I want to save for another year...



BBS LM In diamond black...But these are $890 each!

Or finally...this guys wheels:





Have you guys heard anything bad about Drag wheels? I know you all say NO, but I havent heard a good reason. My brother Has a set of 5 spoke drag (DR-9's i think) on his ZX-2 and they are 17's...and they look fine quality wise.

Thoughts?

BBS LMs!!! But of course they cost an arm and a leg. The "reasonable" choice IMO would be the EKM3 in gunmetal finish. Those Drag or Sportmaxx or whatever they brand it now looks pretty good, but you can't expect too much quality with such a low price. You know the old adage. I wouldn't be surprised if the paint or lip may start peeling in less than a year or get a bend or crack during that same time.

I actually ended up going with this one^. Price was a big factor, but more just like the way it looks.

Personally, BBS LM's on a civic purchasing new? Thats retarded. thats $4,000 for wheels/tires. On a Lexus, yes. On a Civic? not a chance. Thats 1/4 the car's value. I would need a separate insurance policy for my wheels/tires.
