I like the way chrome looks better than the silver. In a couple months, I will buy Chrome 7-spoke Maxxim's to put on my silver civic.

I have a silver civic with chrome rims and they look sweet [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG] But on a black car i would get the black chrome or black opal. Take a look at the Konig they have some nice wheels.


Check my Ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't personally like chrome that much, but I think it goes good on a black car. Heck, chrome goes good with anything [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].

Personally I'd go with gun metal, like the Tenzo-R Mean 6 or something likewise (I'll be getting thoes )

if youre getting 18s or smaller, go with chrome. if youre getting 19s, get silver. i had chrome on my ebp sedan and it was pimpin! chrome goes with black totally! i personally think gunmetal would be over doing it, but if you came across some black chrome wheels, that could be sharp, and different!

i say look for black chrome!!! otherwise chrome will be str8

THere are some exceptions that chrome would look good on our car. It depends on what style... So yeah, get the chrome wheel you like, then photoshop it. Then see if it looks good. But from what I think, majority of chrome rims does not look on our car. That's just what I think, so don't hate. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
