Color question

I had a quick question. I was wondering for my rims which color would look better. I'm looking at getting the Konig R-Rated rims, but I can't decide if I should get them in silver powder coat with a glossy finish or the white gloss finish. I have a NBP EX coupe and I wasn't sure if the white would look good on a black car and I couldn't really find any pictures. I also had a question about rims. I looked through the forum and found numerous posts on comparing the 18 with the 17's and noticed that alot of people had different opinions. What I was wondering was do 18's really hinder your ride that much? Most people that are in competitions or what not ride with 18's anyways, right? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] I haven't actually seen a Civic with 18's or 17's around here so I can't really decide which look better and looking at pictures on the members ride is different. Any help would be appreciated.

For a black civic, unless you're gonna put a heyull of a lot of white accessories on it, I'd go with the silver rims. As far as size, you could check the tire calc. for exact differences between 17's and 18's, but i honestly don't think the difference will be monumental, especially since we're not talking about chrome here.

Go with the silver. White rims don't look right on a black car, IMO. You may want to think of getting some gun metal rims, they looks tight on black cars.

I don't like the gun metal rims 'cause they look like your car is dirty... the reason I said white is 'cause I saw this Civic with it... it's blue, but it's kinda dark too...
