Help me find Black Rims in 17"

I need some finding some black rims w/ a polished lip or not. I want to go black on black because it would look sick as hell. Please help me find the perfect rims.

I have the Evolution CPS 17" in graphite on a green civic. They look really good. I can try to get some pics, but it wont be until the weekend.

Try http://www.supremepowerparts.com too.

I just got my wheels from them and their customer service is GREAT!!!

As for any suggestions, I would lean more towards black with a polished lip than pure black. Gunmetal on a black car would look good too.

SlammedBlueEM2 is on a distinguished road


Work Emotion CR. Comes in various sizes. For 17s, it's 17x7 or 17x8.

If you want the 1-piece forged original Emotion you'll have to wait till next year or special order them. They come in 17x7.5 but don't come in black.

If you know a good place you can get your wheels powdercoated jet black. If the lip is polished it can be left polished.

EDIT: More info here.

heh I had a deal with Honda and Les shwab and they let me choose rims that they had in stock free of charge. So I picked the least "Ghey" ones.

Velox Pg-5s. 17s that weigh 12 pounds. Lighter than all the volks out there, even the te37 and ce28. They come in black with a polished lip. You can also get the Volk Le28 or Le37. Those are pricey wheels, but the Pg-5s are cheap for being so light.

The Racing Harts make some awesome looking lightweight wheels like the CP8R.

If you don't care about the lightweight factor, get some look a likes like Tenzo or the RH evolution series.
