Thanks for sharing the pics!

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I actually like the stocks rims the best. I think Honda did a great job with the styling and color.

I agree, stock wheels look by far the best out of those three!

They all look great, including the stock wheels. Really like those Volk CE28’s. Because the car is all black, I think the more detailed wheels really pop (including the stock wheels). Nice combo. Of course the TE37’s are the most “track” looking of the bunch, because they probably are the best of the bunch for the track.

I really like the stock wheels as well....but man, those CE28s are something else imo

^This. The OEM 19" wheels look great. I really like them and will not replace them. I've also never been a big aftermarket wheels person. They're fun to look at and I appreciate them but I'll likely never spend >$5K on wheels.

Every time a civic driver posts a pic of their TE37s

I'm not so sure you are in the minority...the OEM wheels look amazing!

They do look good though.

1. I'm convinced; black is the best color for this car.
2. My vote goes to the TE37. It looks aggressive.
3. I've never been a fan of stock wheels on a lowered car.

love the CE28 :drool:

so I take ET35 will not rub?

They all look great, and I think the OEM looks wise is slightly my favorite. This will be the first time I buy aftermarket wheels not because of looks. I want a lighter wheel and more sidewall.

I'm right there with you. With just an inflator kit, I'm not trying to roll around on heavy cast wheels with a 265/30 tire.

I'll be more comfortable with more sidewall, and a stronger
lighter wheel.

I feel like 10 spoke wheels look best on this car but the TE also looks very at home. I also like the look of the OEM wheel but not more than the Honda accessory wheel.

I wanna see these in a 19” on this car

Looking great! Black looks amazing, and it's truly the only color that gels with the spoiler. Stock wheels are acceptable, but you need some spacers.
