yay or no way?

Post by tscastello »

Okay here it is.. I have been flipping through wheels for a couple months and I think I have finally come to a conclusion on the style.. yeah the style only in 2 months. Size however I'm still torn.

In one corner I have the 19's yeah I know they are big but they look really good on an S2 drop with no rubbing apparently (according to 8thcivic.com). But they are more rotational mass heavier but probably only by a couple lbs then 18" versions although still probably the same weight as the stock Si boat anchors.

In the other corner I have the 18's cheaper wheel, cheaper tire by a crap load. Then you can't forget all the flamers saying 19's are a joke and should go 17's or 18 max but can't say why so my guess its just their opinion.

Here's what I'm looking at.

TSW Zolder Black with polished 1.5" lip

Thats with a 225/35/19

Here are a couple pics of some civic's off 8thcivic.com that have 19's on them.
Both car's belong to the same guy 1st pic was his first set then he swapped to the next ones.

I've been looking into the last TSWs for a while. I love them and the top set pictured.

With the right fitment 19's will look fine, obviously from the pics you posted. Personally I don't like the spokes on that wheel because of the even spacing all around but it's not my car lol. I like the wheels on the civic in the 2nd pic, if only they had a nice lip.
