thanks, i think im going to end up getting them a local tire shop is giving me a steal deal on them. when i get them ill post up pics so you can see what they look on a civic..
Also i forgot to ask by any chance do you know where i can buy extended lug nuts for a cheap price?

You most likely wont need extended lugs, just a set of "tuner" lugs should work just fine unless you are getting them just for the look. nlmotoring has lug nuts for $25 a set I believe.

Oh and get the 12x1.5 thats the correct thread pitch.

You can expect the cheapies to rust/finish won't hold up for very long but they are decent to get started at least and they come in lots of colors. We have 2 sets of the $25 black lugs and the finish chipped with the first tire rotation and they picked up little flecks of rust in those areas in less than a year. Oh well, it's only $25 and they still work fine. I think the better lugs will hold up longer. Just something I noticed from personal experience with those particular ones.
