Just get a set of used Volks. I can't see how anyone can look at their new knock offs and be satisfied knowing that they could have gotten a used set of Volks or Works for just a little more. Most people who own these wheels baby and take care of them religiously so they will be like brand new in most cases. Wheels aren't like a body kit where anyone can look at it and not know for sure if it's generic. When I look at my wheels I want to see the name Volk.

As far as putting more money in to mods than the value of the car. Why not?
If I had a Civic and intended to keep it for a good while, then hell yeah I would be sporting Mugen and Spoon. This is an expensive hobby and those that want to cheap out every chance they get are the ones that help ruin it and make it so easy to be laughed at.

I would rather stay stock than vandalize my car with BS.

I suggest the Forgestar F14. It comes in a few different colors, different offset ranges and they look great.

if you want that size, check out Forgestar f14s, or also 5AD wheels, the forgestars are superior wheels, but the 5 ad wheels are pretty slick too. retail on forgestars is much higher, but there are dealers that offer them very low priced, sometimes almost half of retail...

Everyone always gives the same reccomendations on wheels here.. funny how somehow everyone wants to rock the same wheels every other car has. haha ( not meant to be mean).

Just dont get XXR wheels man.. you hit one pothole and its toast.
but they are very cheap.

Out of the suggestions, I think the ones I like the most are:

- black enkei nt03

- Five Axis S5:F 19" gunmetal grey

- Volks TE37, GTS Phantom Edition (both are too expensive though)

- Some of the Forgester variations are quite nice too

Keep them coming lads!

Forgestars go for about $1400-shipped depending on who and where you get them and you may be able to get them a little cheaper.

The Miro 935 is nice and a little more aggressive with the concave than the Forgestar F14 and have some additional styling added to them. I like them, but the more aggressive concave almost looks cartoonish if you know what I mean. I am pretty sure you can get them in 5x114.3 specific bolt patterns which makes them a tad more than $1k BMW fitment price.
