ok ok, the kid is getting new rims!! BYE BYE TO TRD'S allthough I love them, I just need something else and it's been on my mind for a while...

long story short, my dealer is buying them back for one of their cars and I am getting a new set with that money...

Enkei link- http://www.wheelsnext.com/product.phtml?p=1326

Tenzo link- http://www.wheelsnext.com/product.phtml?p=659


I want something a bit smaller with a bit more style and I want a lip if not a dish, at first i wanted all rim no tire but now I want deep rims with dark paint, something to cruise in, at high speeds :shock:

feedback please, help me decide....

I'd say go with the tenzo's.

bleek get the 18s and go with the lower springs...... it will look nice i think!!!

im looking into those 18in Tenzo's right now, think im gonna get em...id sugest you do too lol..they are hot
-Ryan

^^lol^^

I'm feelin the Axis REVERBS the 18's are pricey but I think a 17' may be a better ride, what ya think matt?

they will be sitting on goldlines, im also ridding of my trd springs..

axis all the way!
two words: hollow spokes
the lighter the wheel the more you will appreciate your xB.

^^good man

AXIS, AXIS... the chant begins

the Tenzo's are cool, but the axis just reek of stlye..

bleek i agree

axis axis axis lol

be diff i havn't seen a b w/19s...ooohhhh :shock:

lol j/k

bleek ??? just from talking to people tonight ... is s/e bleek or avis /raul???

axis..axis..axis..axis..axis..axis..axis..axis..axis..axis..axis..axis..axis.. these axis rims are the shiznit. 8)

forget axis and tenzo is for civics i say enkei all the way

bleek...take the axis 18...

forget axis and tenzo is for civics i say enkei all the way

And Enkei isnt for civics???? :roll: and before you hate, ive been building show hondas since the early 90's............. heres something to make you laugh, then vomit!! back in 93, American racing 15' 5 stars where the SHIOT!!! Cut springs and 15's tuckin! AWWWWWW the memories! :oops:

Bleek!! U know me pretty good! 17's PLAYED! 18's PLAYED! Step it up above the rest and go 19 or 20! Its bad enough these boxes all look the same, why not stand out a little! Get off the TRD tip that everybody is doing. :wink:

I can get you a AWESOME deal on Axis, so let me know what you wanna do!! Also, get that trick star!!!!! I want to see it!!!

My buddy has a set of 20' axis reverb for 1400 no tires brand new. Anyone here intersted, PM me

yeah, no more TRD for me

and dude 20's are way too big..

i was thinkin 17' for comfort

The Axis for sure. I'd check with tinybigrig before you buy. I believe he works there.

Reduce that Unsprung Weight, baBy...

^^i like your 4 spoke axis rims

you may have just made me smoke my tails on my camo :D


but yeah, im over the TRD's im sellin before they are no longer new..Im tryin to get the rims to my place ASAP..

bleek ??? just from talking to people tonight ... is s/e bleek or avis /raul???

that makes no sense at all.. :?: :?: :?:

yeah, no more TRD for me

and dude 20's are way too big..

i was thinkin 17' for comfort


comfort??? U buyin wheels or a matress???LMAO

17's run the same as 18's and 19's. All you need is some coil-overs for the 19's and you'll be absolutley fine!! Just look at Mikes Lava that you saw!

Heres my opinion, get the axis in 19 inch, and spray the spokes the same as the car and keep the silver lip!!!!!! PHAT!!!!! U know im right bro!! :wink:

bleek !!!! make sure its worth it to you ...i have to agree with jeff .......i think you need a mod look ......no one has it ......everyone has trd... 18'' you need 19'' bleek think about it ...the ride feels the same .... just got to look out for the potholes. but it is worth it to look good.

just what i think.....

Get 19's and dont be a poser PHIL!!!!!!!!! :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:


Bro, my mom has 17's on her car!!! And shes 58!!!!


19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude go with the 17s, everyone has 18" and up. Maybe 17 is the new 20. And definitly go with Axis, I mean what else is there.


........i wish my mom was rollin on 17's but shes only 47.
LOL

lol!!! thats funny! 17's can also be the new stock size for next year!

BUT u didnt hear that from me! :evil:

COUGH! COUGH!! Racing Hart!!!!!!!!! 19x7's tuck nasty! :lol:

19 axis would be nice in reverbs with polished lip

2.2 front drop
2.4 rear

tuck tuck, id be a smiling fool

Get crazy with it and rock some 12" Dayton wires.

:?

Uhmmmmm- I'm kidding.

With 108HP can these things even turn 19's???? Seems like you would look real fast and be stuck in the slllooooooooowwwwww lane.

if you're dropped then with 19's you have to cut so you can turn, but im ok with that BUT i dont want such a ____ty ride.,.

Id deal for axis but i dont have 2200.00 for the rims,,

17's are perfect

$2200.00?? Whos raping you on that price!!

U have to cut what so u can turn??? heres the deal with the shioty ride....... 40 series tires are the same on 17's 18's and 19's. Except 19's is a 35, BUT its not any smaller that a 40 due to overall tires height and width.

So to sum it up. your gonna have the same ride on 17's as you would on 19's!

Ive had every size so believe me!! I know!!!!

I totally agree with you on 17's being a perfect size!!! for a Hyundai!!! :roll:

well Jeff when you get your xB, put 20's on it and you will see how unporportioned it will look and probably drive....

I see your point and respect your opinion I just hate being a 35 series allthough it looks good, it's a little less worry on a 40 I believe or so I've been told.. I will go back to a 18 possible 19 but dont want it too tight in there, once spring hits for sure...

Awwwwwwwww screw it!! Just get 10's and keep em clean! :!:

You should only care about what you think!

You should only care about what you think!

DID U READ THE POST?? thanks, and please drive thru! He wants opinions, and i know him personally so there is a lttle bit of joking going aorund. :wink:

Axis Reverbs are just Advan TCII knock offs. Sorry for the opinion, but you gotta go JDM wheels. I think they look the best espescially if you want a dish style. Better start doin some research cuz they can cost a lot of money and take a long time to get. I am on my fourth week already waiting for my Work Euroline DH's. Couls be another four weeks before I get them. Gues I'll put them on in the spring :cry:

^^if plan B works as planned

then I will still be sitting on the same size for around my cash range

I just love those axis rims for some reason..

reverbs only come in 18 4(lug) so I have little choice with those

either way they will be dark rims on my camo..

Bleek

I'm pretty much the only Civic on 18's that you'll hear of. (Atleast from my old board)

My ride comfort on the 18's were far better than my ride with my 17's. My sidewall was even smaller with the 35 series.

It's the suspension that keeps the comfort, not just the tire series.

I would rather see ANY 18" on your xB, than a nice set of 17's in my opinion of course.

I just think the wheel gap is as bad as the Eclipses'. :(
That's one of the only downfalls with the xB I noticed.

Either way, AXIS 18" would be baller for sure man!!!


;)
Dave

yeah well either I go 18 ( only choice for 4 lug) or I go 20' with coil overs..

im really thinking about the 20's and coils though...

EDIT

Bleek

I'm pretty much the only Civic on 18's that you'll hear of.

Dave

You mean to tell me that you think your the only person that has thrown 18's ona civic!! LMAO!

I had 19's back in 99, i think you have some catchin' up to do!

jeffill hit you up tomorrow, i have to go to Driver Image and talk to mike then go get the bike.. so ill call youi watch your cell around 5 ish

Get the Reverbs. Loved those when I first got my xB. Wish I could afford them,but saving is a problem for me. TenZo's look sweet, but gotta go with the Axis.

yeah its axis reverb for sure, just debating on size...

i got a great deal on 20's waiting for me
18's would be good too, havnt checked on 19's yet

just noticing all the debate with the tire size and rim size. and despite the overall diameter being the same or close to it you will have to remember that even with some performance mods (strictly standard bolt ons) i would find 20" rim and tire combos a bit of a chore for less than 108 hp at the wheels. now if your talkin supercharged or my fav. turbo then 15 would be better choice but 17" would look better aestheticly. now Axis has an advantage with the lighter weight. More unsprung weight would allow you to brake,accelerate, and corner better for sure. I have been looking at the Silver Axis Maglights myself or the formula 10 from tenzo in bronze. having a white xB littered with silver and Orange leaves the palatte a little dry. 17" although thought to be "played out" seems to be a good combo with price, availability, and aesthetics playing key points for me. I'm sure yo'll find what fits you and your style to be well worth the controversey.....

100% percent agreed and well said, i do ride hard and having a larger rim might take away from some of my fun but maybe not, never had anything larger then18 and I loved them but felt like I always have to watch for certain things, potholes etc etc,, thanks for the post....and the played out BS doesnt bug me in the least, i am on a budget so I have to go with my taste plus what i can afford and whats the most beneficial for what im trying to do..

bleek, i think you will look fat sittin on 20's cant wait to see ya roll in the lot ...

contrary to popular belief I was going with 17's based on $$ cause I have ALOT going on the box right now and need some sort fo room to breathe...

Once i spoke to jeff chicago and got me talking to mike at drivers image in skokie I realised that Im not so bad afterall buying straight from him..

he's got thew rim i want 2 inches bigger than I have now, it seems crazy but at the same time, you dont see many 20's out there..

and yes I'll be rolling hard into work on them badboys, im gonig to look at them tomorrow and check out the coil overs..

GIT R DONEE!!!!!

Call me Bleek!
