Hmm...flat black on black....I have white on white....so prolly look good, but I think black rims w/ chrome trim would look better

^^^^ THATS HOT!

I got a black civic, not a fan of black on black, i think if you drop 1000-2000 for wheels & tires, you should really see them and appreicate them. I don't think you can see black wheels a nice, if they have a polished lip they're a lil bit nice. That gunmetal above is friggin nice!

I'd say go with black w/ silver lip. I think all black, especially flat black, is too plain. You need something to visually spice it up a bit. Otherwise it looks like somebody driving on steelies without hubcaps. JMHO.

I disagree with the played out part, cause i believe that if it looks good, do it. Your car is def. hotness. but those cars w/ Black wheels w/ polished lips are slick. Nice cars people....mine looks like *** compared to you guys, i'm so broke.
