I'd go with the silver ones. Chrome wheels are more for the SUV look.

Chrome is too heavy, stick with silver.

I got chrome, but i would say cuz yer civic is silver, do the silver MR7s. Chrome is better for darker colored cars.

Are you going for looks or speed? Show or go? Show=CHROME, all day long, Go=Silver, for weight savings.

Vizyun has the best answer, Chrome is for show, silver is for race. Also listen to Vtecinque, chrome does look much better on dark color cars. As for the red, if you dont know if your show or go, I have seen red on both silver and chrome. But look very nice. Chrome tends to stand out more, so if you want your car to be the spot light, go chrome

ive got chrome on my black coupe and im turning heads everywhere, sure the body kit and drop add to the effect but it looks great
BUT! now that the engine mods are pouring in im selling these heavy azz rims for some racing rims, dont some racing rims come in chrome, cause lightwieght+chrome would b nice.

Go with chrome. I think chrome looks good on silver. It doesn't add that much weight. Most say that because they don't like the $ increase in going w/ chrome.

well i know im not gonna race it. Cops out here are bored as hell it takes two to three cops to give you a speeding ticket, so when they got people racing all hell breaks loose. So i don't really care abut the 1 or 2 lbs being added.
