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. ;)

16's arent cool for civics!! track R are pretty cool...

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. :thumbsup:
