Changing to 17inch wheels on the latest Civic 1.8?

[guntherfurlong]

Just wanna ask a question...

Would there be any difference if driving experiences if I changed my latest honda civic 1.8 ..16 inch wheels to a 17inch wheel? Would it be the same as the 2.0 litre model?

of course.........your car will be heavier when using 17inch...

slightly less power, but slightly better handling also...

less comfort...
If go to 17 inch, u need to look for ultra light sport rim

Finally got my civic. Contemplating to get the 17inch wheels on the Civic 2.0 model for my 1.8L model.

Where can I find it... will anyone sell it? I know the Honda website mentions nothing about it... the malaysian website that is...

Dont know where the exact place to get the rims. You might wanna check at marketplaces. Bcoz i noticed i saw a few Honda FD2 2.0 rims were open for sale.

This wheel is called Honda FD2 2.0 rims? Ok will go thru the shops to see what is available.

OK will look into it. But i'd rather get the standard issue wheels that they use for the 2L car..
