I am after a new set of 16" wheels for my civic. I have narrowed the choice down between either Rota GT3's (in black with a red lip), or Rota Slipstreams (in Matt black). Which one do you think would suit the car? or if you have any other suggestions please let them be known! Heres a piccy of the car and the wheels.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I've looked at both sets for my car. I prefer the slips with polished lips. I had the gt3s on order but i cancelled the order cause i saw loads of civics at japfest with them and they looked really small. They may look good if your car was really low.

Cheers for the opinions guys, I've had a couple of people say that 15's are a much better size than 16's on the civic. Is this down to handling, or acceleration? or just because they look better? |

mixture of all three same as the rex really, standard's are 14's. 15's are the best size to go to with out comprimising acceleration and handling |

Yeah 15's are sposed to be better for handling and lighter. The lighter and the smaller the wheel the more your get them spinning. But I got 16's and they have performed great. When I put them up against the 14's with the big tyres they were the same size over all. Have you been on clubcivic.com they have some great pics of ek's.
