If cannot afford the ori then just don't! Just buy cheaper rims but not replica/fakes coz the fakes are an unknown to what standards they're made. That's why they're very cheap.

Besides price and strength, it's also the weight. Original TE37 is a forged rim, well known to be very lightweight yet stronger. The original one can weigh 2-3kg lighter/pc for the same size than the fakes and that's a noticeable difference in car performance (accelerating, braking, even handling), and fuel consumption.

Anyway just avoid fakes la, no good one. There are already cases of fake rims easily bent, even cracked. I saw myself also a fake 15' CE28, the lip dented in 2 places despite still using big thick profile tires. Just imagine if using 18' with thin profile tires, might have cracked. If not much budget, then just buy original Taiwan rims like Advanti or Enkei Tuning, those are still decent quality made and some models are even pretty lightweight too. No point showing off with fake Rays or whatever. People who know rims also will be able to tell so what's the point?

Gramlights also not cheap, some even try to sell almost like Volk Racing forged line up just because it's also made by Rays.

Yup, no point showing off with big rims (fake some more!) then use shit China or whatever unknown tires to save cost! Too many examples like this already on the road, just dumb!

Just buy some used original ones like examples below, good enough rather than buy new but fakes.

Work Emotion has 2 types, the Emotion CR Kai which is normal cast and heavy, and the Emotion CR only (without Kai) which is forged lightweight type. That one I posted seems to be the lighter type but not 100% sure though. The size is nice for big RWD cars.

Oh ya, on a Civic those Work will be too wide then especially the rears. FWD also better just use square fitment/not staggered. Anyway just giving some examples, maybe can look for something else narrower sizes, maybe 18x7.5 or 8jj would be best fitment.

Evo is AWD so should not use staggered fitment coz might impact their AWD system. It needs to use the same rims on all 4 so the load are equal for the AWD system. This staggered size is for RWD cars like mine.

No effect, just no purpose either other than pretending like RWD car I suppose! Just make sure the tire is wide enough for the rear (so not to be like those dumb asses who do stance/stretch fitment) and not too wide for the front too.
