Need help picking first set of rims!!

Finally want to get some rims. Been waiting and now I have the money. I am limited on what I can get here in AK, but found a local place selling sportmax rims in 2 styles I like. Heres the link to the ones I like in Chromium black (have to put the mouse over that color) http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_786.shtml
They are going on a 2004 White Civic Coupe that I am keeping as clean as possible. Yall think they would look good in the Chromium black or hyper silver. Also they have this style in the same two colors http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_925.shtml Thanks,

Dave

Re: Need help picking first set of rims!!

^^My car came with rims and they're my first set of rims, only 2 very small curb marks in 3 years.

I like the second ones and since the car is white do HS. I wanna see the black chrome on a SSM tho.

Re: Need help picking first set of rims!!

Just found out they weigh in at 20 pounds------might start taking a look at other brands with a similar style that weigh a little less.

Thumbs up Re: Need help picking first set of rims!!

Invest in some new Rotas.....they are quaility (good finish, weight) imitations of nicer popular JDM wheels, and offer a very wide array of colors. Im rocking a set of 16" bronze C10s through college, and I love em.....check em out

Re: Need help picking first set of rims!!

Those 5Zigen pro racer gn+ are nice, as well as the Motegi Touge rims. The Motegi's only come in 18+ and are heavy as hell though so....
