Collegehillshonda has them. They don't really have many silver sets used most are bronze. They're expensive I guess. I also saw stock 8 gen wheels on other sites. I just googled around. I'm picky as hell so buying used for me isn't easy because I'm so particular.

It's hard for me to buy used wheels since most of the time people are asking an arm and a leg.

I agree plus most aren't perfect I would rather buy perfect and ruin myself than buy already curbed.
I'll be happy to sell you my perfect '14 Si 18" wheels and I don't want an arm and a leg, two arms will do nicely.

Lol I don't like the 14 wheels at all honestly I think Honda really messed up in the design.

They are decent looking wheels, but I prefer 2012 wheels tbh.

To answer all the question, These wheels 17" and 18" HFP-R7 WILL FIT on both 8th and 9th gen civic WITHOUT any spacers. I has these on before and after my coilovers without issues of anything.

I wanted more tire thickness/meat for better ride comfort so I went with 17". For a coupe 17" can pass but for a larger area car like the sedan, I would have went with 18". 4 Doors just makes 16" and 17" look tiny.

Perfect that is what I was thinking. I also don't plan to lower at all so the 18 will fill in the gap. I would run 40 profile I believe.

May I ask where you bought them from? I also plan on getting 17" wheels. I love to have more meat on my wheels.:banana whip2:

I've honestly never had 18s how different will the ride be? I like the way the 18 r7 look. The picture I initially posted is on 18s.

Also I know the Fitment of 8 gen wheels was on the Si model in particular due to the bigger calipers. That's why I was concerned. I noticed you don't have an Si so maybe it might be different. I'll order anyway but I hope they fit without spacers.

225/40/18 should be closest to overall stock size of 16/17"

I got mine for my stock 16"+100$ to a local on craiges list. Just gotta keep your eye out and not rush.

Also depends on the type of tires you run as well like run flats, summer, all season, etc.

I would ultimately run pilot sports probably. So all season but more aggressive than a typically all season. I drive a lot I don't want to go through tires often so I won't be getting summer since typically they run through tires faster.

They will fit on yours. I just relizaed that I have seen black si coupe with those wheels. Not sure if they were 17 or 18.

You have nothing to worry about, the caliper on K24s are not significantly larger. I guarentee it will clear both 17" and 18" HFP-R7
