Post your aftermarket wheel/tire set up

[SonicBreezerST160]

Did you sell the blue Enkei ts10 set? I’m still in love with them.

Yes, quite sometime ago. I loved them as well, just got tired of the color. I wish they had been 38, or 40mm offset though. I like the option of running a 245 series tire without having to run mad negative camber.

Hello from Karachi, Pakistan. Shifted from OEM rims to something elegant.
Rim size: 18×8 , ET 45
Rim weight: 6 kg (OEM was heavier)
Tyre size = 225/45/18(Couldn't go for 40 profile as ride quality would have been affected)
Tyre used: Dunlop SP sport LM 704

The offset is partly what makes me pause about them. And fear of tiring of the color. I’m the type to buy something and stick with it for a long time.

Hello everyone,

Today an update on the rims that bought last week.

I bought JR-35 Bronze wheels and finally went for 19x8.5 ET + 38 all around.
Maybe I'll put a 5mm spacer in the rear, but I'm not quite sure about that yet. I also chose Pirelli P Zero Nero tires 235-35-19 with rim protection.

When the Wheels arrive I will first treat them with Gyeon Rim Protect and as soon as they are under the car I will post new photos!

Greetings Tim

You do realize that they won't be concave like what you have posted here? Those are 19x9.5", which is the concave spoke design. The 19x8.5", are very flat faced.

@SonicBreezerST160 I am indeed aware that these are not concave. The company where I have been, past advises against taking 9.5. so I chose the flat 8.5. Also because this is my daily ride. I think they will look very nice on the car because of the special shape of the rim.
As soon as I have mounted them on the car, I place the end result

You shouldn't have listen to them! The wheels look very good with the concave profile, and I noticed that you can select your own offsets. You would have been completely fine with the wheel sized 19x9.5", 45mm.

You may remember these 19x9" Curva "C10" wheels on my Civic a while Back... But they are back in Stock (No tires) in case anyone still interested.

Looking at buying hub rings for my new wheels. Can anyone recommend ones they use with no issues long term. Plastic or Aluminum ones? Looking at buying these....

Those work just fine for everyday use. If you track your car often though, I would recommend aluminum.

Ok, I’ve stressed over wheels for a year now. It’s the last thing left to complete my baby. Picked out what I want 9 months ago, crunched the numbers (I’m a female - so I’m new to all this offset/backspace wheel stuff), and now I actually have my wheels in my cart ready to check out. Butttt....I keep second-guessing myself! I’ve only seen one other Civic, same year/model as mine, with the setup I’m wanting, and according to the owner of that Civic, it works beautifully. However, I would really like some more solid confirmation from some of you pros before I confirm payment!

I have a 2018 EX-T, stock 17 wheels (first pic). I‘m wanting to go with 18x9.5 +38 AV20s & 235/40r 18 Nittos. The last 2 pics are of the Civic with this exact setup...according to the owner, and he assured me he has no rubbing issues at all. Can anyone else reassure me I’m not about to mess up? Someone help!
