Gunmetal or Hyperblack rims with white Civic?

What do you guys think about the white Civic with Gunmetal or Hyperblack rims? I also have a Tsunami front and Kaminari rear and side if that helps. I like those color rims but most of my friends said that'll look hideous. They want me to have chrome or white. I was looking at the Tenzo AV 7 or the Velox VX 6R.

Go with the Hyper black's. Enkei's Bortex(?) wheels would look sick on your car...

Go with a dark bronze. It goes very well with white.

I second the dark bronze thing, but plain silver works just fine also.

white2K2EX is a glorious beacon of light

Hyperblack looks awesome when it's done right. Those Enkei Bortex rims are really nice looking, too bad they only come in 16s though. I would've possibly gotten them. Not many cars have hyperblack. That's what I'd get.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

You can buy 17" Bortex rims... the other name for them is RPM2. I almost bought them... they're about 200-220 each. Someone on campus has them on a black 6th gen. They look really good in the sun, they shine, but are very dark (even in the sun they're still almost black). I thought they would be lighter, which is part of the reason I didn't get them.

I thought white on white looked the best but 1sickcivic's car proved me wrong. Either of those looks great.
