I personally say keep what you have! Or if you change go to either a black rim or go with another 10+ spoke rim!

I think those will look great.

Go with 205/40/16 Falken Ziex 512's. I think they're one of the best looking tires out there.

Yes it is a generic brand... They aren't horrible tires.. They are basically the brand you get when you buy wheel/tire packages..

Color is Passion Orange. One of the original colors of Civic SiR that it came out here in the Philippines.

Here is the thread that I created months ago with pics..

If it's for daily use I think it's fine.. just don't drag it too much...

Don't worry, I think you will...

16's are good and they'd look great. if you have any other options let us know! haha

oh and nankangs aren't bad at all. from my experience, they have gripped more than nitto neo gens for some reason --_--;

205/40? Holy low profile batman... I think 205/45 looks perfect and it definitely doesn't ride too comfortably as is. I can't imagine a 205/40...

I prefer 16's on 6th gen civic's. So I say get anything in 16" ;). I like what you have now compared to the ones you want.

40s are pretty low profile but its not as bad as you make it seem. Plus, when the car is slammed, it looks so nice.

i guess 45 is ideal when it comes to ride... but 40s will look bad ass... lol...

actually, my rims now are 15s... and i like them too... original plan is to change just the tires... but a friend of mine offered this 16s with nankang tires... we'll see... :D
