I can't view your ride right now, so sorry if you already have these, but I would suggest RSV's in black, or maybe bronze.

really, you'd pick those? man!, the RSV was in the top list. especially the Bronze!. i've never seen Bronze wheels with a white civic EM2. i think it'll be hot!. i also like the Evo 6 and RS7's.

the white civic EM2's have tan interior. i was thinking that it would go very good!

I wonder who sells those RSV's the cheapest...?

There are a few white coupes on here with bronze wheels, tho i can't think of any usernames off the top of my head. As far as where to get them, I got my wheels from wheelsnext.com, but tires.com was good too. Just google the name of the wheel, and maybe "free shipping" as your search string.

yeah, for some reason, i've been able to see my car with bronze rims lately in my head. i know that usually i've seen black or blue civics with bronze wheels but white is also a color that'll go good too!. i wanna get my car re-painted, new rims, lowered on some better springs. and a lip kit. because i was going to trade my EM2 in for something else. but all signs are pointing to "NO, don't do it" so i told my girl- "if i'm going to end up keeping my car, than you're going to have to let me put some money into it" thats it!. i'm tired of standing by asking myself if i wanna trade up or hook up.

Just to let you know, the RSV's in bronze don't look actually look exactly like the pic on the 2nd post there. I have RSV's, and this is how they actually look.



Just to let you know. The silver part on the center cap is crap. Its all peeling off on my rims. Underneath the silver is a white colour. I've had my RSV's since May/June of this year. So its been like 4 months. After I take off my rims for the winter. I'm going to repaint my center caps.

yeah, so what do you guys think of the RS7's. cause i like those too. they're like the RSV's but the spokes are further apart from eachother. and whats up with that peeling man?. i'm sorry bro but, you sounded like you were kinda steering me away from buying them. where you?. cause those rims are hot man!. i can't believe you'd say that. but yeah, you could always repaint them. cover the ENKEI sign and paint those caps black or something. that'll look nice. dp a flat black.

The RS7s are nice, but personally, I like the RSVs better. As far as the cap, could could always find a set of the silver with the gold center off the RS7s on ebay or something. Or find some Honda "H" caps that will fit, if you have the same problem phuviano did. I'd be way more concerned with the appearance of the wheel, and the finish on the wheel itself when making the decision on what to buy. But, It's your car, and wheels are one of the most expensive basic upgrades, so get what's really going to make you happy. And, post pics when you get em on your car.

Nope, not trying to steer you away from these rims. If I didn't like them myself, I would not have these rims. I love my RSV's, and I think they are great looking rims. I think you should get them too. I just told you about the center cap peeling for your information. I'm just giving you a heads up on this, because if you were to buy the rims, this would most likely happen to you to. I was a little upset at first when it happened, but after I realized that I could just paint them, and they're just center caps. Its not like its the rim itself.

btw, I'm not painting over the middle part where the Enkei symbol is. I'm just going do the silver/chrome colour part.

I don't know if your in the US (Which I think you are), but I'm in Canada, and prices are totally different. I paid $900 cdn taxes included for just the rims alone without tires.

Personally, I like the EV5 in hyper black and silver. I like the more subtle look but all the others are pretty bad *** looking as well.
