Nice rims. Not a fan of all-silver on a white car myself, but it's not a bad look on your car. I would get them really dark gunmetal spokes and keep the lip polished. But that's me and that's the look I seem to be stuck in lately.
Please give me 19" tires, I'm poor.

one word describes both the rims and how they look on your car: AMAZING
By far the nicest civic sedan I've ever seen. I've never liked white cars but seeing yours has changed my mind. Questions:
#1 How can you afford to have 4500.00 rims for your Civic. #2 Where is your money tree at and how can I plant one of my own? I just wonder why if you can afford rims that cost that much money why not buy a brand new: rsx, tsx, cl, etc. and modify it?
As I said earlier though, b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l !!!
check my attachment...arent these the ones?

those are satin silver, not Speed star silver.. yes their is a big difference..;-) although i did import them thru tirerack because their the only liscensed importer for SSR/SSW
i coulda had the satin for cheaper(tirerack has one set in stock) but i didnt want it its fugly..painting the ugly ones was also a possibilty but TRU SSR powdercoat finishes are amazing my silver is the nicest silver ive ever seen it looks like 5" deep
i didnt pay "retail" so i can afford it.. (i own my own shop and i get cheap prices)the reason why i dont have a nicer car is because my insurance goes thru my dad..(i pay for my car but its insured thru him to save $) and i pay like nuthin since hes 57 and good driver ;-) but if i go out and buy a new car then i must insure it under my name which then will cause insurance to rise... 19y/o insurance is like 100x a 57y/o
i still got 2 years of payments for my car so once shes paid off i'll part out and sell stock and then ima splurge for something nice like a Bimmer M3/Mercedes SL55/65 if my friend can find me one) i have a friend who owns a bimmer dealer and i can get the "trophy wife trade ins" 1 year old max. no miles and they get em cheap for like 60-70% off.. i.e. a 2003 SL55 is worth around 110k i can get one for like 55k only problem is it has 37k miles and tires are worn.. but im not gonna keep oem wheels anyways.lolol
anywho thats the story...

I know what you are saying about the silver, there is a big difference. I'm getting my wheels refinished right now and gettting them powdercoated with a deeper, truer silver color instead of the machined look that they came with. I'm also getting the lip polished. You know come to think of it, they might look kind of close to yours when they are done (except for the spoke design, three pieces, and lightweight). I'll post pics when I get the car back.

Yeah not exactly your wheels, but the color comob and 5 spokes will make them vaugely resemble each other.
