Alloys Choice Wheels...what suits the car?

benzai · 6th October 2012, 22:32

So I'm thinking about getting a new set of alloys and I'm really not sure which, a couple of models I'm thinking of below...

Rays CE28N's
Enkei RPF1's
BBS LM's

What does everyone think, is there some other alloys that look great on the FN2? Any pictures?

BuddyClub, I didn't consider them for some reason, might look into a set!

pjf1985 · 6th October 2012, 23:42

Rays or BBS for me, just look more special! All suit the FN2 though IMO!!

I think the Volk CE28N's look amazing and sooo want a set but being Rays im guessing they will be big bucks. Check out these pics.

The Enkei RPF1's are not really for me to be honest, i prefer the RSM9's.

I like BBS LM but do not feel they suit a Civic.

Have you thought about Advan Racing RS

The bronze CE28N's are winning the race by a mile, love them. Had a set on my old blue DC5 and they look amazing! If only I could find a set for reasonable money!!!

Thanks for all the tips guys but a lot of the style are quite "Euro", and I know its a European Civic Type R but I think the heart and soul of a Type R lies with JDM styling.

imo the top two are ok i like the third one,the fourth one could actually suit the civic well and would be sumit different,i like the fifth pic,hate the alloys in the sixth pic definately dont suit a civic,and the seventh and eight pic aint a bad choice

No it was a joke, i did say the wheel choice is upto you.

His taste may not be the same as others.

Kimotherapy · 12th October 2012, 10:05

I would choose Rays CE28Ns, but then again I'm biased....

Not a big fan of five spoke wheels like that, but I do love the RPF1's!!!
