help, 17's or 18's

i have been wanting motegi mr-7s in gunmetal for a while and i am now going to get some but i dont know if i should get 17's or 18's. i have a 92 civ si hatch. I dont want to go all show but i dont know if the 18's are to heavy and i plan on droppin my ride about 1-2 inches. any body have any insight???????

Don't do 18s on a civic unless you're going show. You will have such crappy ride quality and it's just not worth it.

yeah, 18's will BARELY fit your car. their good for show, like kicker said, but ride quality sucks, you'll scrape all the time unless you have modified wheel wells, and you'll go through tires MUCH quicker.

personally i would go with 16's on a 5th gen hatch. My friend put his 17's up against my car and they barely fit. I know you can make it work but its just not worth the sacrifice in my opinion. And 16's just look alot cleaner. But thats my opinion do what you want, but dont get 18's youll regret it.

:smoka:

yeah 18s on a 92 hatch is just plain crazy... 17s at the most I might even go with 16s like relientokay said.

Go with the 17' they aren't to big. The 18 with make it look like a pice of crap

Dont listen to these fools, if you really want to be the "Mac-Daddy" you will Jack it up and throw on some DUB DUCES. HAHA just playin, Go with the 17", they will look alot better than the 18", and lighter for more go than show.

it's your car so do what you want.. my .02 is go with 16"

For what its worth, look for something other then Motegi - those 17's will weigh in at like 25+ lbs, id look into something else - Motegi = American Racing, both of which are crap.

i agree with sparq motegi sucks ass, they weigh a million pounds (not literally) and they dont hold up at all. There are plenty of 7 spokes out there. They all look pretty much the same probably even better. :silly2:
