the stock wheels on my 2017 honda civic hatchback LX (White Orchid Pearl) looks nice, but hoenstly, I'm really opting for a black or matte gold color.

Then I came across this set of wheels.

Honda Civic 10th gen First time buying some wheels for my civic hatchback. need advice Screenshot (191)



a couple of questions:

1.) since this is also a 16" wheel, can I just buy this and have someone remove the stock and replace it with this?

2.) If I get this one, how much would it cost to have it installed?

3.) if I opted for this one, I would probably sell the alloy wheels. How much do you think it would go for? I know most people would probably be looking for a 17" or even higher so I'm really not expecting to much.

4.) any other wheels you'd like to recommend? I'd rather stick with the 16" wheels as I heard any higher than the stock can decrease mpg and road noise.

*trust me, I did my research on diameters, offsets, etc, but for some reason, they all seem to get jumbled up in my head -_-



Any advice is highly appreciated!

1 - yes, if they're the same diameter as your OEM wheels, you can just have a local tire shop swap them out
2 - installation varies from but you can expect to pay between $60-100
3 - check the classifieds to see what guys are moving them for but I wouldn't go off dealer price since no one really pays retail for OEM wheels
4 - there are a ton of options in the 5x114.3 bolt pattern but 16" options are more limited. Obviously you'll have to get tires if you upsize but you get a lot more options when you go 17" and larger.

We have some options on the link below:
