Umm, OEM wheels are generally silver. I'm not trying to be an @$$, just to understand type of design are you looking for. How much do you want to spend?? I can probably help you, as I bought wheels about 2 months ago, having spent 3 months looking at hundreds of wheels.

LOL! sorry had to laugh . . . gunmetal/hyper black is not an "oem" appearance, they could be considered the clean look if done well.
if you want oem appearance, go get the '00 civic si/'03 civic wheels (ex) or
i beleive '04 (ex) and the '05 civic wheels (ex). the '04 and '05 have that gunmetal tint look . . .

k, well obviously you guys are thinking way to hard...

guess i have to rephrase what i want...

OEM "style" rims, that I can get in either Gunmetal or HyperBlack.

I can spent up to $1500 for Rims

So, as DaSilverCivic mentioned.... Yes, I can get SI wheels but, from the dealer they cost like $800 and ONLY come in silver. So.. let me re-phrase my question towards you...

DaSilverCivic, Would you happen to know of any rims that would resemble the SI wheels in Gunmetal or Hyperblack?

If you want Si wheels you can get them way cheaper on Wheels&Caps.com
They build exact replica wheels. I believe the maker is Keystone. I got 99-00 Wheels from them for around $420 shipped. The only difference is the center cap..It doesn't have the H on it

jsmith, unfortunately i dn't know of any that would resemble the si rims in black/gunmetal. mayb you can buy used and powdercoat them?? just a thought. i personally like the '04/'05 wheels. like i said they kinda have that gunmetal tint. i think it would look clean if your car was lowered too with them on.
on a sidenote, ever try looking at rota slipstreams?? i just purchased them in flat black and spent around 600 new w/tires. comes in 15" and 16".

I understood what you were saying!

Honestly though, I wouldnt settle for aftermarket.

Id go for an OEM wheel, to my knowledge Enkei makes our OEM wheels

lol id stick to the Honda Factory Performance wheels for the 7th gen since they are OEM. They are 16" and come in split 7 spoke (I have these), and 5 spoke.

handaaccessories.com and you can see them both.
