Hey guys, my wife has a White 2002 Honda Civic EX stock and I want to get her some 17" rims/tires and some other stuff eventually. For now though I need help picking out some good 17" rims under $200 each that will fit her car.
I found these on procivic.com http://www.procivic.com/images/large/products/konig-tuner2-wheel_LRG.jpg . What do you think of these? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

might look good. what color is the car?

those rims look like they belong on an escalade.lol 22's just my opinion though. i do like the two tone spoke/lip job going on though.

i would go with gunmetal or bronze or even black with a polished lip ( if that isnt played out already).

good luck.

not my preferrence when it comes to wheels. I prefer mesh wheels. I kinda agree that those ones look like they belong on an escalade.

Thanks for the input! I'm still trying to find some decent wheels for her car. I guess I'll look around some more.

Are the wheels in the picutre her style that she would like? Are you trying to suprise her with the wheels?

Kazera KZ-V's are $134 each from TireRack. The KZ-B's are nice too, and only 25 bucks more.

Well she knows I plan on getting her some wheels but she pretty much leaves everything up to me so she's cool with whatever I get her. That being said, I want it to be really nice. She likes my MSP with all the goodies I've done to it so I want her to enjoy her car too :)

The Kazera KZ-V looks nice too http://www.need4speedmotors.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=556&MMP=101704147
It actually looks similar to the Konig wheels to me http://www.procivic.com/images/large/products/konig-tuner2-wheel_LRG.jpg
Thanks for pointing them out!

So I'm looking at the Kazera wheels you pointed out Scott, and taking into consideration big Lou's rec' of the Matt Black 5Zigens, I came across the black Kazera KZ-A....you guys think these would look good on her white Civic? http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/kazera/swap/kazera_kz_a_bml_ci3_l.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheel.jsp%3FwheelMake%3DKazera%26wheelModel %3DKZ-A%26wheelFinish%3DFlat%2BBlack%2Bw%252FMach%2BLip&h=400&w=400&sz=20&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=MsxiUh4vyuuHWM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkazera%2Bkz-a%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DX

You are asking for curb kisses with all of you choices. Go for something with a recessed center.

The Kazera KZ-A's a very nice. They were the wheels I would have bought for street use for my MSP if I had kept it. Love the black with machined lip look on a yellow, orange, or white car. I just wasn't sure if spokes that thick would look proper on a Civic. I suppose it would look good though.

How about ICW Racing? I'm partial to the Vapors myself :)
My 16s were 129 each, and the 17s were 150 I believe (2005 prices)

What do you guys think of these http://www.dcrims.com/DB/Online-Store/proddetail.asp?prod=DC%2DMESH

Would these look good on a white 02 Civic coupe? Any photoshop experts out there? Would 18" be overkill or would it look ok?

18 would be overkill without a decent lowering. even then it wont go down that much due to rim size. and fitment/rubbing is also a concern. i would stay 16's or 17's. and then a nice drop to cap it off.
