You can't go wrong with silver. Chrome is a bit on the ghetto side.

chrome never looks good on civics/integs and other small (non-luxury) cars

i think that it really depends on the style of rim you get. Personally i like silver, but some chrome rims look sweet too.

I think gunmetal would look good too seeing how the car is such a dark color.

hey...i got chrome rims....they don't look ghetto...(i don't think so anyway). the only problem is the maintenance....chrome is a bitch to keep clean. it all depends on the style of rims tho...go with what you like. obviously ppl are goin to say what they like...if you listened to em all the time, you would never leave your house....

just keep in mind that chromes are a pain in the *** to clean, and keep clean. other than that, they are nice.

chrome would make the look much better but they're also weigh youre car down more than the silver rims would. so i'd go with the silver.
