Whare some wheels that are 16" that look "OEM"
 
please post/recomend some wheels that will give a civic an "OEM" appearance...

i cant drive around with hubcaps anymore :roflmao:

btw, looking for gunmetal/hyper black

Umm, OEM wheels are generally silver. I'm not trying to be an @$$, just to understand type of design are you looking for. How much do you want to spend?? I can probably help you, as I bought wheels about 2 months ago, having spent 3 months looking at hundreds of wheels.

LOL! sorry had to laugh . . . gunmetal/hyper black is not an "oem" appearance, they could be considered the clean look if done well.
if you want oem appearance, go get the '00 civic si/'03 civic wheels (ex) or
i beleive '04 (ex) and the '05 civic wheels (ex). the '04 and '05 have that gunmetal tint look . . .

k, well obviously you guys are thinking way to hard...

guess i have to rephrase what i want...

OEM "style" rims, that I can get in either Gunmetal or HyperBlack.

I can spent up to $1500 for Rims

So, as DaSilverCivic mentioned.... Yes, I can get SI wheels but, from the dealer they cost like $800 and ONLY come in silver. So.. let me re-phrase my question towards you...

DaSilverCivic, Would you happen to know of any rims that would resemble the SI wheels in Gunmetal or Hyperblack?

a...actaully the hfp wheels are gunmetal...if you consider those oem...nr mnd the new 5lug ones are..

If you want Si wheels you can get them way cheaper on Wheels&Caps.com
They build exact replica wheels. I believe the maker is Keystone. I got 99-00 Wheels from them for around $420 shipped. The only difference is the center cap..It doesn't have the H on it

jsmith, unfortunately i dn't know of any that would resemble the si rims in black/gunmetal. mayb you can buy used and powdercoat them?? just a thought. i personally like the '04/'05 wheels. like i said they kinda have that gunmetal tint. i think it would look clean if your car was lowered too with them on.
on a sidenote, ever try looking at rota slipstreams?? i just purchased them in flat black and spent around 600 new w/tires. comes in 15" and 16".

man...some guys on this forums are ass's...haha.
i know what your wanting
you can never go wrong w/ some rota's. they are a very basic and very clean looking. many colors to choose from. go to www.jaydm.com for all their options...rotas are good quality and cheap in price.

good luck man.

I understood what you were saying!

Honestly though, I wouldnt settle for aftermarket.

Id go for an OEM wheel, to my knowledge Enkei makes our OEM wheels

dalaw 09-10-2006 11:39 PM

i believe honda sells hfp 4 lug 16" wheels in gunmetal color

diskreet 09-11-2006 12:20 AM

lol id stick to the Honda Factory Performance wheels for the 7th gen since they are OEM. They are 16" and come in split 7 spoke (I have these), and 5 spoke.

handaaccessories.com and you can see them both.

pbfoot 09-11-2006 11:24 AM

im gonna go out on a limb here and say OEM wheels...and a can of paint and some clearcoat.
