I think the gold one's on your car would be overkill...lol.

The first one's look like what you have now.

I can't really pick one..... hmm

Black or gunmetal with polished lip. Leave the mesh-style spoke pattern for the sedans and big german cars, you need a nice 5 or 6-spoke wheel.

Rota Subzero, Rota Tarmac, Rota Group N, Konig Hole, Konig Trouble (only if you've got 4-wheel disc), ADR Cypher, ADR DV-8, ADR Formula 5, 5Zigen Copse...so many....my head is spinning.

Just don't get ADR Fuels, or I'll drive up there and beat you with a large, stick, possibly with splinters.

I wanted the Troubles SOOOOO bad, but the damn things were brand new when I was wheel shopping, they were on back order for 6 months!!!

Andrew, IMO you've already done the polished silver look. I say go with Telly and Rob's recommendations. Gunmetal or black would look sick on your ride.

I am getting RH-5 gunmetal (unless I change my mind before snow melts)
I was gonna get the real racing hart c5 but they look same so I am just gonna go with cheap one (18" Exel RH5 with tires = $899, 18" Racing Hart C5 with tires = $1499)

you should get RH-5 Silver, so we can switch around if we get bored of the colour

I agree with Telly and everyone else.. gunmetal + gold = the sexyness


But.. from the ones you posted above, my pick is:



Oooo, by the way... The ones u have on right now, are they 5 or 4 bolt pattern? I'm thinking of getting some rims for the Prix in spring/summer

Hey SI2NV are you planning on buying from those guys? I would reconsider before doing so, when 7thgen has there own wheels retailers and 9 out of 10 times can give you a better deal....see TrueHonda at RIMSTOGO.COM

will he ship to Canada? If not then I have some friends in Chicago that said they are willing to get my order shipped to them and then I'll be able to pick it up in Chicago. the thing is Wheelmaxx offers free shipping in the USA and rimstogo.com doesnt have the rims I'm looking for.

Wheelmax has a lot of horror stories attributed to it. Just search the board, there's someone getting screwed by them regularly.
