Rep Power: 346 If you have the civic fixed up just leave it black without hubs so that will not attract others from wanting to steal it. Other wise you should get some 17s

Rep Power: 0 It doesn't matter. I'm on steelies cuz either way with the hubcaps, you still see the steelies. Cheap look IMO and they're just wheels temporarily. If it really means so much to you, just pick one depending on how much you like hubcaps or hate steelies. Since you car is black it will look really dark if you ride on steelies. If that's what you want, then ride on steelies. If you don't, then put on the hubcaps. So I guess it's how you think the overall car will look. I probably wouldn't ride on steelies in a light colored car because it'd stick out too much if you can see where I'm coming from. It's not as bad on a dark colored car.

Whats the point?? In 4 months you are going to change your mind and want aftermarket rims. Just keep saving and get a good set of 17's.[hr]

Rep Power: 316 How much are you buying the EX Wheels for? If you get the EX wheels, and powder coat them, u might as well have just gotten rims. I second the thought to just get SI wheels. Gives it a sleeper, yet sporty look. If you end up goin with the EX wheels I'm gonna tell George he has a whack cousin. haahaha j/k [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
