White Rims?

Do you people think that 17" white rims would look nice on a black 2002 civic coupe?

they look ok but personally i would go with something else. white is really hard to keep clean and i think you would be happier with another color like bronze or gunmetal

i had white rims on my old 97 eclipse...ADR GT Sports in 17's...i got alot more attention and i loved them...the only thing i can say bad about them is if you ever curb them they will show up major and they get dirty tooo easy...but when clean they look awsome... Go for it..

I'll have my white rims on my black RSX-S within 5 days. Want to wait that long? I'm just getting the center cap area machined and repainted/powdercoated.

i really think it depends on what drop your gonna have and if your gonna have somekind of lip/body kit on the car. if you go with the stock height n body components on with white rims, it will look horrible. on the other hand though, the white rims will look good on an rsx cause of the body style they have.

Pics of NBP (black) RSX-S with white wheels

The RSX is close enough to a Civic that hopefully you'll get a decent idea how it'll look on your car. Anyway, here are the pics I promised. I don't have the center caps in yet but I left one out near the bottom of the rear wheel.

Anyway, the quality kinda sucks because it was in the dark and taken with my phone. But here they are!



Edit: Hahaha. It looks like an RSX limo in that pic.

well i have a 01 coup with white rims 17's to be exact. i love it. it makes the car come out more. the black will look good, and the rims will stand out big time. but the only problem is keeping them white, you have to clean them every day if u want it to look good.

Go with silver!!!!! Not really a big fan of the white wheels, IMO.

Not on black IMHO. Silver or Black though! Personally, I believe the only base color that goes well with white wheels is white.
