Hello 9th gen, today is my birthday and I feel like splurging some money, about 450$ to 500 $ over the next two to three months in payments. I have the option to pay a full 400 $ up front but unfortunately that is not enough to purchase a set of four rims as well as the tmps kits. Help me find some rims for my 2012 civic lx. I want the rims to work with my stock tires.
 
Ya, 15" with a bolt pattern of 5 x 114.3 (5 lug holes with a spacing of 114.3 mm between the holes)

Are you really sure you want to go 15" rims though? I made the mistake of getting an extra set of winter tires thrown into my car deal when I got it so I ended up buying used 15" Honda CRV rims that I sanded down and painted (check out my build thread if you're curious to see). I regret not getting larger rims, but I only paid about $150. I will be buying larger rims in the future. Larger rims look better. Check out any BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc etc. They always have large rims...17" or 18"

Would I need to get different tires? Im just limited on my budget thats all.
 
Ya, the stock tires we have have a 15" gap in the middle, so we have to get a 15" rim. :( I wish we would have at least got 16" rims like the 8th Gens had. Oh well.

Its kool. Im looking on amazon.com for a pair. I want to order some and take them into a dealership to get tmps systems set up. I wonder how much I will be looking at for a total cost. If I could split the cost up into two monthly payments I could squeeze them in my budget if it was really expensive. #lifeofacollegestudent
