Dark Rims on Black Civics

They are 8 spoke eagle alloys 17 inch. I like them but I can buy a set of new gunmetal MSR's with rubber from a friend for $800 canadian. I am just wondering what they will like on my car. It all comes down to personal preference i suppose.

either black rims with a polish lip, some bronze, or gunmetal wheels would look tight on black civics.

IMO... I think black on black civics are very nice looking. I have black on black with polished lips tho. Just flat black or glossy black with no polished lips don't look so good. Because you can't distinguish were the tire starts and the rim ends sometimes.

Then gunmetal seems to look like dirty black wheels on black cars. Because when mine get dirty the back turns gunmetal color.

Edited: Also I wouldn't go too cheap on rims because they will bend, crack, and/or chip easily. Plus that is what is holding the car up so it is important. And bronze would have been my second choice for colors.

I had Konig colors in green on mine for a while they really looked good. No one elas had them. Thats hard to do when it comes to puting wheels on a car. Now I have a set of 10 spoke gun metal wheels with polished lip looks realy good as well. The colors I have are for sell now if you really want to be differant.
