I agree! but the civic has such a low stance that when you put 17’s on with 215/45/17 it doesnt look like a 4wd… here are some pics of a civic with stock suspension and 17’s EX w/ Si wheels Si with 17’s ---

Have you guys heard of [discounttiredirect.com](http://discounttiredirect.com)? They sell wheels pretty decently priced and they have a little car generator thing that you can put in what car you drive and switch the wheels on it through there so you can see what they would look like. FREE SHIPPING and it’s FAST, 2-3 day turnaround… They also offer tire warranties if you buy tires through them and if you need a new tire you call them and they send you a new one, no questions asked and no tire return necessary. Free nittos ftw everytime I run over something and mess up a tire since you arent suPPOSed to patch Z rated tires. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-find-wheels/188284.md?page=2)
