Well, I've had my 17 inch heavy ass Motegi MR7's on my 94ex Civic for about a year now, I've gotten the bigger is better out of my system and am really tired of the crappy ride. Im going to be swapping the engine in 2 weeks, and I figured if I'm going to go for performance the 17 inch lead weights need to go also, plus Im sick and tired of worrying about bending them.

Anyone considering getting 17 inch rims for a civic like I did please take the following into consideration. I regret getting them after having them for a year.

-Constant paranoia of pot holes and the like since you have to put 40 series tires on them they are really susceptible to damage
-Awful bumby ride (some call this good road feel, but I beg to differ as your brains are being jiggled out of your head)
-Rub over every bump if you have more then yourself in the car and have it lowered lowered more then 1 inch.
-Poor tire life comparing to higher series tires
-Decreased performance and handling, especially if you get heavy ass 17's
-Decreased fuel mileage

THe one thing postive about them is they look really nice, and the cornering performance improved over the stock steelies and meat.

I've decided to take a big decrease and get some lightweight 15's with 50 series tires, Im thinking About the black Spoon Knock Off's Rota makes, anyone else have any suggestions for lightweight 15's that don't cost more then 150.00 each ?

Im going to be selling my 17 inch motegi mr7's good tread on 3 tires, the fourth one is a bit worn on the inside due to camber, not sure what to ask for them they are in good condition.
