what about the konig Theory with black and polished lip on it. I was about to get those, then I changed my mind to the Prophet Opal. Too bad they don't come gunmetal.

as an alternative to black you could get GUNMETAL

there is mor of an abundance of gunmetal rims in larger sizes (18-19"). Flat Black rims are usually smaller available in like 15-17".

I have had 18" gunmetals and 15" Black rims

Personally I think the 18's looked way better but were just way to heavy and made the car slower than it already is




The 15's are much more of a functional wheel upgrade and don't look that bad either!

Check out my member's ride. I got 16's and they look pretty good. I had 15's before but I think 16's were a better choice. Not too many ppl go with 16's though. Always 15 or 17.

I have a set of 15s for racing, Small and light. I'd run smaller if I could and if there were a compeditive tire in the smaller sizes.

rota slips, sub zero, attack and circuit 8 llok cool in 16's, all of those are light weight... you could go with Gram Lights, Kosei K1, or OZ Superllegeras, bute those are a little pricey....

I would go with the black rota slipstreams in either 16's or 15's i have
black wheels on my silver civic and it looks tight i also like the 16's because they are a functional upgrade they are light and there are also alot of diff tires in that size
