Opinions: Which color rims? - Check last page and post opinion please
 
I currently have a 2003 Ralley Red DX 'Vic. I am wondering what color rims everyone thinks looks best with my color. Your opinions are much appriciated.

*****************EDIT: I have attached pics of a milano red RSX with rims similar to those which I will be getting....I would like everyone's opinion as to whether they think the bronze rims on the car look hott, or whether they think the gunmetal counterpart would look better....thanks.

ZdS03Civic 05-14-2004 10:06 AM

I think gunmetal with polished lip looks real good on pretty much everything. Thats my vote.

Boilermaker1 05-14-2004 10:24 AM

I said bronze because:
a. It looks awesome
b. Hardly anyone has it
c. Gunmetal is so played out its not funny. When it starts becoming a factory rim color, you know its time to ditch it. I'm gonna have to powdercoat my Si wheels blue to keep them different (they're GM now).

Ershall 05-14-2004 10:40 AM

^^Yeah, I have been contemplating that....The Volk rims I want come in Bronze.

I need to get them photochopped to see how it will look. Are there any Red Vics on this site with bronze rims?

CdnSilverStreak 05-14-2004 11:19 AM

^ Ditto. I like silver too. :hgrin:

civicvtec1ps 05-14-2004 08:27 PM

Go with Bronze.

zachgeyer 05-15-2004 02:59 AM

Bronze braff

gh0st 05-17-2004 12:02 PM

flat black and tinted windows. black and red go together well imo.

Ershall 05-17-2004 12:48 PM

Yeah, windows are definately getting tinted shortly......

Most likely getting Rotas. They seem to be more bang for your buck. I can afford them pretty much now and I would rather have rims on instead of the hubs. I am looking into Rota Mugen RNR replicas flat black with a red lip. I have seen an EP on cardomain that is stock red with them, and it looks pretty sick.

Looking into gunmetal as well. Im not sure Rota bronze would look hott in stock red and I can't really find any examples.

PopcornPlaya 05-17-2004 10:36 PM

I said flat black. My reasoning was this:
First white was the hot color on Red cars, now everyone has them. Plus they remind me of my Telefonica wheels too much. Now, gunmetal is the craze. Everyone has either full GM, or GM w/ polished lip. Silver is always going to be a popular color for any vehicle. I like flat black because red and black look good together. The rotas sound like a good choice, I thought about getting the 16" slipstreams for my black civic. Then, I considered a custom made Jesse James in an anodized black. Now, I'm pretty set on either Tenzo ZT6's or Konig Glides. Bronze would be my second choice with red though. It's unique, and really pops w/ rallye red.

bhaines23 05-17-2004 10:48 PM

I think White Rims on a red car look hot. Silver would look good too imo.

Ershall 05-17-2004 11:51 PM

thanks everyone for your opinions....decision decisions.

flipmoderacer02 05-17-2004 11:57 PM

either bronze rims or white rims...

futuremethods 05-18-2004 12:20 AM

dragoon 05-18-2004 11:54 AM

Silver. It never gets old, unlike gunmetal, white, and eventually, bronze.

Green Civic 05-18-2004 01:57 PM

Bronze, or get one with a polished lip. I have granite with a polished lip and it looks awsome.

aZnVoYCe 05-20-2004 06:04 PM

I have both silver and flat black. It all depends on your theme and style, below are pics of my car. I like flat black the most just coz it flows right with my black and red theme.

Ershall 05-20-2004 11:48 PM

wow that sucks, silver, bronze, gunmetal with polished lip, and flat black are all at 20%. I'd say majority rules....but there is no majority. TTT

Ershall 05-20-2004 11:50 PM

I don't really like how silver looks...my themes are red and black which leaves the possiblity of bronze, gunmetal w/ polished lip, and flat black. I'm most likely getting slipstreams. They look the best out of what is attainable at this time.

03AzNsIlvaSeDaN 05-22-2004 10:14 PM

gunmetal will look perfect with ur red paint man!!

plan03 05-23-2004 03:28 PM

Volk GT-Cs in gold/bronze with a polished lip.

just like takahiro ueno's d1 soarer.

BRONZE ALL THE WAYYYY


geting bronze on my ralley red vic too.....its gonna look awesome dude!!!!!

faultyscrew 05-24-2004 09:07 PM

I never really liked bronze, flat black, or gunmetal for that matter. I would go with Silver or White. I would say white for sure if it was a white car - kinda like the old Integra type R's that came stock in white with white rims. If my next car is white I'll def. go with white. But in your case you've got red. I think silver's your safe bet. Its not too radical or revolutionary but it will look good none the less. But its your preference so do what you want - hope it looks good!

RSDCivic 05-25-2004 02:22 AM

flat black definitely looks sweet well imo at least, check out my ride if you'd like, for more red and black

ImportRacer2123 05-25-2004 02:12 PM

I love my Bronze Rota C8's :) I vote bronze

Ershall 05-25-2004 03:59 PM

^^pics?

Ershall 05-29-2004 08:30 AM

get on up there.

blouisgod 05-29-2004 10:56 AM

Im currently using carbon. Kinda like a semigloss cross between black and gunmetal.

Fletchman04 05-30-2004 09:19 PM

i picked white. i've seen a few red cars with white wheels and it looked pretty good IMO. the only thing that would prolly make me chose another color would be keeping white wheels clean. but if you can keep them clean white would be perfect and plus it would match all the ricey stickers you could put on your car...j/k.

Ershall 05-30-2004 11:01 PM

yeah, white looks good but its not the look I am going for. Thanks all for your opinions.

Jai 06-22-2004 01:15 PM

get what YOU like.

Ershall 06-22-2004 02:18 PM

I have pretty much made my decision to those of you who care.

I'm going to go with Rays Gramlights 57c in gunmetal with anodized red lugs.

Ershall 06-22-2004 02:19 PM

Truehonda is hooking me up with a bottom dollar price....Eddie's the man! :rockon:

abmerop18 06-22-2004 03:02 PM

i say bronze

Ershall 07-05-2004 08:50 PM

actually I changed my mind, I'm going with P1 Racing 17s in Gunmetal....weigh about the same as grams.

hustlelikem0fo 07-05-2004 08:55 PM

if you want to be original get rainbow colors.... let each spoke be a different color. :wink:

Ershall 07-06-2004 02:10 PM

LOL, nawwwwwww, I don't swing that way mofo.

aznstylez254 07-17-2004 10:12 PM

I chose gunmetal with lip, but i think on red a gold rim with polished lip would look a lot better.

JDM TypeR 07-19-2004 11:15 PM

What size ya looking for?? I got some 17x7 Exel P-5's. Gunmetal (well, more of a lighter gunmetal) with a polished lip. Check em' out. http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/exel.htm Get a wheel tire package 215/45/17 mounted, balanced and shipped for $810!!! I got them on my Blue 02 ex and they look PIMP! :2pimp: Especially with a 1.5 inch drop. And the lip is the longest i've seen on a 7 inch wide rim. Makes them look wider. The tires that come with the package are quite nice too. Aggressive tread pattern and pretty nice grip. These would look real good on ur red vic :tup:

cmk_980 08-30-2004 10:12 AM

my car is red and gunmetal with polished is hott...had them, miss them

Ershall 11-19-2004 07:42 AM

ttt...need more opinions.

TeLLy 11-19-2004 08:32 AM

I picked gunmetal with polished lip - I'm obsessed with that combo, and I've seen it on some red vics around my area; looks sick. But if you have the option to go bronze with polished lip, I think that might actually look better, depending what shade of bronze the rims come in.

exturbo6 11-19-2004 10:30 PM

i have bronze rims with a silver lip and they look sweet with a black car!

DANEE 11-19-2004 11:27 PM

Well Depending The Style Of The Rim, But I Would Have To Say Bronze Havent Seen To Many Out There And The Few That I Have Seen Look Sic. Good Luck Im Sure Whatever You Decide Will Look Good!!

Ershall 11-20-2004 05:26 AM

Well, I'm sort of leaning towards Work Emotion CRs in bronze... I have seen them on a Milano Red RSX-S and they looked sick...lemme find that pic.

Ershall 11-20-2004 05:46 AM

So it's either the bronze or regular gunmetal I think.

Anyway, since milano red is quite similar to rallye red and I liked them on the following car, I figured I'd like them on my own and it would be something a little different than your average silver.
