speaking strictly in terms of which wheel I like best, I vote for #3. However, as art mentioned, on a Civic, I dont think 17 (or even 16) inch wheels look right. Personally, I wouldnt invest that much money in wheels for a car like a Civic.
Also, in order to fit the tire/rim combo in the wheel-well, you'll likely be going with some really low profile tires, correct? probably 50's, right? Keep in mind that extreme low profile tires like that will make the vehicle's ride very rough. Tires are part of the suspension system, and as such, they perform some of the same function as shocks/struts, ie absorbing the assorted bumps/shocks of the road. Low profile tires, because they have short, stiff sidewalls and less air (by volume) in them, do not absorb much in the way of road shock. Now granted, the car will handle more like a true sports car with them, but the trade off is a rough ride.
just a friendly warning from a former tire salesman.
