Poll:rims
Well I've been trying to re-invent the Civic on the strict budget I have. Sunday I'm taking off the wing and I've got the chance to get some 17" Konig Tuner2 rims wrappen in Kuhmo Ecsta tires. So I'm wondering If I should get rid of my 18" R-1 GTR-4 rims wrapped in Nankang tires for them.
These are the exact same rims I can get. This was a Civic that belong to one of my freinds. Sad to say he crashed the car and died.
...and for those of you that don't know, here are my rims.

keep your rims, look WAY better, 5 spokes are so "regular" nowadays.
Instead, use the money you were planning on spending, change those chrome lights on your car and consider losing the spoiler.
but seriously, your rims are WAY nicer. my opinion at least

anything that can get you smaller rims would help, I think 16" or 15" are best suited for that car

Well my freind sold the rims without telling me. SO for right now I'm sticking w/ mine. However, Sunday I'm taking off the wing, next is new 3% tint and new tails.
What tails should I get?

^^That's what I was thinking, but all I can seem to find are the aftermarket versions on ebay.
