new rims=new pics.
i got new wheels on my car. i bought them mainly because he gave me brand new tires with them. he sold me some 17 inch rims with brand new tires and lug nuts for 300$. some of the paint was chipping off so i just spray painted them while i save up for a new powdercoat.
also i put a civic front license plate on. its stainless steel with raised Black Honda symbol and Civic below it. its so shiny its like a mirror.
My Beutiful front end. notice the reflection of my plate on the ground.
my new rims and tires.

It's alright.....I like black on black but with the chrome lip.....with just black/black, it reminds me too much of hubs....and that's no good
On the license plate....Isn't that how the 8th Gen Civic logo is? With the V larger than the rest of the word?

Rep Power: 0 Nice, I like those rims. Holy Sh*t man, you have the bottom part of your windshield tinted the the top part, damn you have *****. That's like a cop magnet.

it doesn't look bad, but i think if u got aluminum or titanium color, it'd accentuate your rims, you headlites match with it too. just my though.

Rep Power: 242 Looks exactly like mine except the rims and not lowered... But anyways i just took off my 'honeycomb' front grill and took off the 'louvered' fog light openings and i liked how it looks... more of a clean agressive look. Gonna put an black aluminum mesh piece in the grill in case something dings my radiator. Looks good and like ur style..

actually, the civic logo has been that way for a long time. ours is like that too- if you ever took a look at the logo on the back of your car!
the car looks nice, just needs a spoiler. the license plate has got to go. too many H emblems- not to mention the civic emblem which is lopsided.
rims are hot tho, good choice.

Rep Power: 0 well my entire car has limo tint so after dark i have to roll down the windows
And as for the view looking like a widescreen movie, thats exactly what i thought when i got in it the first time. lol
The rims would not have been my choice if i would have had other choices but since i got the rims and brand new falken tires for 300$ i couldnt say no.
As for the centercaps i dont like them that much either but im not gonna waste my time or money looking for new ones.
thanks for the comments guys and D5civic i havent seen you post forever.
