17" Silver or Chrome?

Okay I have an Eternal Blue pearl civic and got $700 from income tax some of you may have read my last post... Anyways My girlfriend thinks I should get chrome rims she said it would make my car look a lot better since its a dark car(blue) I agree, but I have also seen some very nice Polished silver rims too. What should I get? I like the Konig Verdicts anyone have pics of them on a 2k1civic?

I personally don't like chrome rims. I would go with polished silver or maybe even white if you have a blue car.

Personally, I think you should make the decision based on what YOU think looks better and based on YOUR taste. Don't go by wat everyone else says, remember, their opinions come directly from THEIR taste. You need to make the car YOUR OWN. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

thanks SpdRcrChk very good advise! I guess I will just make a trip down to my local performance shop and see what they have to offer. I would buy wheels online but I have always been kinda weary about !

hey flip, if you like the Verdicts, you can go w/ the black opal.
I think that would look tight on a blue civic

but again.....just my $.02....

See I thought about that too! Because it has that almost shiny look to it, but I would have to see the black opal in person to determine if I like it or not! Does anyone have pics of any Konig Verdicts on a 2k1civic?

My friend has the same car as you and he has silver Konig Monsoons. His car looks sweet. Chrome is too flashy in my opinion unless you're going for the bling look.
