Civic Si Rims
Im looking for a new set of wheels for my car, and I have always liked the look of the older style Si rims... The 7 spoke ones. They are 15" rims, but from there I dont know the specs of them. I was wondering if they would work on my 08 sedan. Anyone know? Picture for reference..

Absolutely those will fit nicely. They are off of the em1 civic. Idk about PA but here in Tampa I can get those all day long.

Thanks for the info! I found a few sets here in PA/NJ. A little to pricey for how much pitting or curb rash they have though.. Oh well, keep looking I guess

Also check the weight on those before you buy. I had a Prelude SI with those wheels and if I am remembering correctly, were quite a bit heavier than the Konigs I now have on my Yaris. Heavy wheels=slow and bad mpgs

Honestly, I'd get some other rims before I get those.

^^^^^Me too. I had (still have tho not on ) the other old style Civic rims (pics somewhere in here). Liked the look and still do. Heavy was an understatement. Money became available and went to the RPF1's. Finding used un-bashed cheap rims can be a bear. Good luck.

They aren't any heavier than the steelies that I took off the car, and I like the way they look on the car. I haven't decided yet, I might plasti-dip them black.

That looks okay. When i said heavy, I meant in relation to the RPF1's.
