Squiggy's 2012 DBP II Si Coupe

These are similar although larger than your wanting.

Actually been looking at a few of the Niche wheels myself. Actually never mind, those are not available in the Civic bolt pattern. They do have a few other 5 bar concave wheels that are available in 18x8 with the right bolt pattern.

I like the Rotary Forged Wheels. They are relatively light, strong and priced very reasonably price.

The Panorama's are similar.

the wheels posted earlier on the blue coupe were 20's.

We then hand-built the widebody kit around the wheel and tire set up, and painted the civic BASF R-M Ultrasonic Blue Pearl, a new-school take on the classic Civic Si electron-blue-pearl.

Get the wheels you want man. Honestly, if you don't get what you ultimately want, you'll never be happy with them. I've played that game before. If you like the TSW wheels and they come in the size and offset you want and color/style you like, then that's your wheel.

I like the Weds SA15r but you think its ugly. Hence, you should get the wheel you like. Not the one I like. Hahahah.

Although I did think about suggesting some Vossens to you. They make a nice wheel. Or RPF-1 18x9 +35 custom milled to a +40. That would be awesome. Plus you can use my fender roller if you need to fit some fat tires. I've gotten pretty good at it. Like no more wavy fenders and cracked paint good.

I have all winter to think about it and will probably change my mind a few times. All input and help from everyone is greatly appreciated.
 
Personally, I wouldn't choose any wheel with a machined aluminum finish. Oxidation gets through the clear coat way too fast.

I have considered that. I keep going back and forth with black wheels. I kinda think visually they get lost though. Hence looking at something shiny...or just powder coating them white.
 
So, after putting winter wheels on, black is definitely not an option. Car just looks weird.

On the other hand, debating on these in 18x8 now:

I personally like that look better, but you need to ultimately be the one happy with the style.

These were my original choice, but I wanted to take the time to look around. Also, got a chance to see some at Tire Rack over the weekend in red. I really liked the red, but someone else in the house doesn't. Not to mention, without seeing them on the car, it would be hard to tell how well they go with DBP...especially due to the changing appearance of the paint color due to how the light hits it. Every once in a while it looks a bit tealish in color. Not so sure how red wheels would compliment that.
 
You have a side shot of your car handy that you could post here? Same with the red wheel?
 
I was looking at the same ones a few months ago. They were used orange 17*7.5 wheels and the seller was letting them go for $400 but I missed my chance. They are super expensive brand new though.
 
Oh I saw that. It's just a different story sometimes when they can see it ON the car as opposed to what they think it'll look like. It's like choosing paint color for a house. "That'll look horrible". Different story when it's actually applied. "Oh...I like it".

Not when said person has a great disdain for red and blue as a combination.

The white ones in 18x8 are on sale for $389 a piece at Tire Rack right now. A bit more than I would prefer to spend, but between them being white and only weighing 17.4lbs, I am willing to spend a bit more.
