Help me decide!

Alright so I cracked one of my rims running a 40 series tire, and since the wheel is long since discontinued, and I cant find one anywhere.. I'll have to get new rims... and I've narrowed it down to these three...

A.



B.


C.


for this car...


THANKS

Re: Help me decide!

Honestly, none. A is overdone, B is ugly, and C won't look much different.

Re: Help me decide!

first off i say paint the side moldings, door handles and mirrors silver, remove the fogs, get BOH and drop the car more or drop it period. Than consider the wheels, i would do black with chrome lip even though its played out

Re: Help me decide!

black is played, gold would be weird, but the silver would be the best of the three i guess

Re: Help me decide!

My civic looks exactly like yours (2004 SSM VP) and I have rims that look like A. Yeah I know black w/polished lip has been played out, but they do bring out the black on the side molding, door handles, etc..

Re: Help me decide!

No plans to drop it anytime soon. I just sold my 17" rims and put on a set of 15" rims. I drive about 500 miles each week for work, so I wanted it to ride smoother and also wanted tires that would last longer than 30,000 miles. I went with another set of black w/polished lip rims, just in a smaller size.
Once the car is paid off, I might drop it and put some 17" back once I have another daily driver. Most everyone that I have talked with said that their car rode rough after a drop and I drive too much to have a rough ride.

Re: Help me decide!

Re: Help me decide!

The easiest way to decide is to go to the Discount Tire site and use their "showcase" to view the rims on your car.
The Enkei PKR looks very similar to the black rim that you have as a choice.


Here is your car with the Enkei PKR. I have these on mine.
