Default Ok now I know you guys hate 17's...

But I'll show you mine anyways! The car is a 1998 1.4i 3dr Hatch.....Only mods so far is the rims, CAI and De-cat. Only problem now is the huge wheel gap, but hopefully I'll be getting enough money soon to buy a set of decent coilovers. Next must-do mod has gotta be the exhaust. I'm just a little unsure on which one I want yet. Have a lookie...

my civic 1
my civic 2
my civic 3

Waddya reckon? (slate me if you must, not that I care because bigger is always better )

Looks good, look even better once its lowered. I would also get those bumper strips removed and the side ones painted and a lip kit to finish the job.

Yea I'm in 2 minds where to go from here. I'm buying a lip-kit as soon as my bank balance allows, and I already have a rear buddy club style rear lip on order. I won't be fitting it unitl I have my exhaust sorted though, as it'll look crap with the standard pea-shooter outlet!

Can't wait to get it slammed either - I love the look of slammed EKs.

Hey thanks guys, I thought I was in for a ribbing when I said I had 17" rims. Seems most of you seem to go for the 15"s or 16"s. I do agree though - after owning my 17s I have to say the ride does suffer a lot, plus you tend to get a lot of 'judder' from potholes and uneven surfaces. I am pleased with the way they look though .

The wheels are 17" BSA 214 LiveWires. I bought them from Motor-world back in March when they had a discount on them though, heheh.

Oh, and yes, they are a real pain in the ***** to keep clean! With them being black it is probably worse than white for showing the dirt...

I don't think many people are gonna give you a hard time for having 17's... it's all preference.

But if bigger is better, why didn't you go with 24's?

I was actually surprised because I dont think those 17's look too big at all and I thought they would. Drop it and it'll look so good.
