We had a local dealer bring us a new Civic 4DR for a set of wheels for the showroom display. Just thought I would share:wigglesmiley:

I actually like those! Black on black is sooo overused these days and i like the gunmetal look! Trust me I'm from canada and I only get to use summer rims for 4 months of the year :sad:
Ive had Rota before, in Puerto Rico they dont last too much cause he streets suck.. But now Im in Virginia so I wouldnt mind a set... Plus you can buy two sets of Rota for the price of one Works. Soooo.. Yeah.. Unless is a show car.. I go fake...lol

What people are saying is, no matter what if you live in shitty road conditions, eventually the rims are going to get in bad condition. Thats why people are buying cheap wheels...so they don't have to worry as much if they get wrecked. What you're paying for in expensive wheels is yes the brand name, but more importantly the weight and the looks I guess.
Thanks for the reply Storo. Now I understand why I have seen so much name dropping when it comes to rims. The look, along with a reasonable price, will always be my priority, but to each their own.
just think it this way, its like buying a purse. very expensive ones is better quality and looks better. but cheap ones does the job just as good, of course quality is better doesnt mean its worth the price tag.
most people get brand name wheels just for the bragging right. i had plenty rotas in the past, they held up just fine. worse case if you break 1 or 2, they are $100-$200 to replace instead $300-$600 on works/volks etc.
I found a nice set of 17" wheels and put some sweet lo-pro tires on them. I get LOTS of compliments on them and the ride in general :dancingcoolsmiley:

yeah i used the stock tires that came with the car (i had my winters on my stock wheels when i picked up the car from the dealer so the wheels the car came with havent seen pavement yet) but after i go through these ones i am gonna pick up a set of Hankook evo's or continental DW extremecontact
Definitely will be looking into wheels as first mod on my SI!
