Someone's gonna post something about looking at the Member's Ride section soon. Same people who tell everyone to search. They just can't help it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

ANYWAY, my suggestion is to figure out if you're going to any exterior mods first, like headlights, etc...
Either go with contrast (white or chrome on black) or have the car mostly dark.

The contrast will draw attention to different parts of the car. The dark will draw attention to the car in general. However, if you have some contrast and other pieces dark, most people won't notice the dark parts.

i like the whole set up of black projectors, and the carbon taillights on a black civic, but the black rims dont really appeal as different rims. lt doesnt really catch my eyes when i see them on a black car; or when i see them on a diff. colored car, they just dont look good I.M.O. I would go get either plain design silver racin rims, or get the gunmetal ones so that they still shine like chrome does.

You can take a look at my ride - it's a Sedan, but you can see what the wheels I have look like. They're American Racing Type S 7-spoke wheels. I love 'em, and they've gotten me all kinds of compliments. Oh yeah, they're plain aluminum ...

Check it out, I just took those pics today, after my 2 hour car wash ..

as far as exterior mods that i would be planning on doing are as follows....black projectors, vis octane front, wings west sides and rear, carbon fiber tails, and a carbon fiber hood, and a minime spoiler....does anyone think RH c2's in gunmetal would look good with all of that?

Chrome and alloy rims should look nice.

if you are all about racing and want extremely light-weight rims but with a very nice look get the new CP8-R's, those are gonna be my rims for sure (black)
