- One of the most modified cars on the market today.
(engine revving)
Whether it's being built purely for aesthetic reasons,
(hip hop music)
or for all-out speed, enthusiasts love Honda Civics.
And they more importantly love
doing things to Honda Civics.
Another one of those questions
that we seem to get all the time is,
"Hey Gels, now that I know what wheels fit
"my Honda Civic or my Genesis Coupe
"or something like that, what do you recommend
"as far as design, or brand,
"or something like that that I should go with?"
Well, we hear you.
So today on this episode of the Build Sheet,
we're gonna be going over the top five wheels
that we see people running on their Honda Civics.
(dramatic electronic music)
Now these wheels are gonna be in
no particular order by any means,
and they are the wheels that we see
in our Fitment Gallery over at fitmentindustries.com
pop up on Honda Civics more than anything else.
And by the way, if you have a car
with some after-market wheels on it
and you'd like to be, maybe be featured on
an Instagram page or help some people out with Fitment,
go ahead and add your car over to our
Fitment Gallery at fitmentindustries.com/add.
That not only helps us out with data for
these kind of videos so we can get to you guys,
but it also helps other people
if they're looking to pick up some wheels
and some tires, a little confused
on what set-up looks good on their car,
they can go on and see.
So first up on the list we have the Enkei RPF1.
Now, the Enkei RPF1 is one of those wheels that
kinda sneaks its way around the entire automotive scene.
Now, not only is this dedicated specifically to Civics,
but a lot of cars out there run RPF1s.
So with the huge magnitude of sizes
that the RPF1 is offered in,
paired with the classic styling and
lightweight performance that the wheel offers,
it's pretty clear why people seem to
run these quite often on their Civics.
So if you're looking to get into
more of a performance-oriented wheel
or just want something simple and clean
to put on your Civic, they look great on
just about any generation of the Civic out there.
So it's a great option if you are looking
to get a set of wheels for your car.
So next up we have the Cosmis Racing R1.
Now, the R1 is a really simple, clean,
multi-spoke design that Cosmis Racing offers.
So these are a great wheel if you are looking
to add some wheels to your car
that's gonna be kind of more on
the simple side, but still want
the wheels themselves to stand out a little bit.
The R1 is a great option for that.
So with the sizes that the R1 is offered in,
you can choose between either a
more conservative or very aggressive fitment.
So with that as well, you can choose
from a variety of different colors.
They have a variety of different black colors
between their chromium black, and just their gloss black.
We have bronzes, you have whites, you have silvers,
and you even have a gold option, and their hyper gold,
and their hyper bronze, and just about
any color that you want, you can get in the R1.
And they look absolutely fantastic.
So moving on to wheel number three,
we have a wheel that takes a little bit of an
opposite route from the R1 and the RPF1.
And we have the ESR SR01.
So the SR01 offers a simulated multi-piece
wheel look with that mesh design.
So for the most part, we see these on
a lot of older generation Civics,
as it really ties in the look that enthusiasts
tend to go with with those older generations.
So they tend to go with more of that mesh style design,
especially with the early hatchbacks,
and the early coupes, and things like that.
So if you're looking to get that styling of
a multi-piece wheel but don't really feel like
spending two to four grand on a set of wheels
for your Civic, the SR01 is a great
entry-level option for a set of wheels with that design.
So hopping right back into the
Cosmis Racing side of things,
we have another wheel offered from Cosmis
that a lot of people tend to run,
and that is the XT-206R.
So very similar to RPF1, the XT-206R offers
that same split six-spoke design,
but it offers a little more of a deeper step lip
and just a little bit more styling.
And of course just like the R1 that Cosmis offers,
these wheels are offered in those
same exact finishes with the addition of
their red color, which looks absolutely fantastic.
So if you want a wheel that has
a little bit more of a vibrant color,
if you want the red wheels, or if you want
those hyper gold wheels, or something a little more flashy
or something that stands out just a little bit,
the 206R with those colors is gonna be the best bet for you.
And then finally, the fifth wheel
to end the list, the ESR SR08.
Now again, these are one of those wheels that are
popular across a wide variety of vehicles on the market.
But specifically, we see them a lot
on Civics and especially in our gallery.
So it's only right to mention them
because so many people do run them.
So the SR08 is more of a softer split five spoke design
that offers a bit of concavity and features
spokes that sort of dive back in
towards the barrel near the end of the spokes.
So these wheels are great for someone who is
looking to upgrade their brakes in the near future,
or someone who has already upgraded their brakes,
give themselves a little bit more clearance of the spokes
to clear those larger brake calibers.
Now again, these are one of those wheels
that are offered in a variety of sizes,
different offsets, and of course, a bunch of finishes.
ESR has a lot of different finishes
that they can add to their wheels.
So if you are looking for somethin'
that's a clean and simple design,
that'll look good on your car for not too bad of a price,
with a pretty decent color if you want it
to pop a little bit, the SR08 is gonna be
a great option for someone looking to do that.
So, there you have it.
The top five wheels that we see people running
on their Honda Civics according to our gallery
over at fitmentindustries.com.
Now of course, these are not the only wheels
that people are running on their Civics,
or the only popular wheels that
people are running on their Civics.
Just for what we see, these are the ones
that people are running the most often.
Now of course, if any of these wheels
aren't something that really strike you
or you want to put on your car,
you can head on over to the gallery and see
the plethora of other wheels that people are running.
And not only can you see what they're running,
but you can see as far as size, and width,
and offset, and tire set-up, and suspension,
and whether they had roller fenders or polar fenders,
or do any other sort of suspension modifications.
That's what our gallery is for.
And the best part about all of that is,
is not only are every wheels that we talked about
available at fitmentindustries.com,
but you can also pair them with a set of tires
and get them mounted, balanced, and shipped
for free to the lower 48.
So if there's some wheels that you think
should've made the list that didn't make the list,
