new rims=new pics.
 
i got new wheels on my car. i bought them mainly because he gave me brand new tires with them. he sold me some 17 inch rims with brand new tires and lug nuts for 300$. some of the paint was chipping off so i just spray painted them while i save up for a new powdercoat.
also i put a civic front license plate on. its stainless steel with raised Black Honda symbol and Civic below it. its so shiny its like a mirror.
My Beutiful front end. notice the reflection of my plate on the ground. :)

not bad.....

Nice rims. I like the black on black.

jameslinkinpark 08-28-2005 07:00 PM

It's alright.....I like black on black but with the chrome lip.....with just black/black, it reminds me too much of hubs....and that's no good
On the license plate....Isn't that how the 8th Gen Civic logo is? With the V larger than the rest of the word?

04|5spdCivic 08-28-2005 07:14 PM

i dunno i just thought it looked awesome. as for the wheels i would prefer gloss black with polished lip but i got such a good deal.

If you had gone with black w/chrome lip you would have looked like every other black on black vic. You decided to be a little more original which i like. I was also thinking of getting similiar wheels for my white vic. Your cars looking good tooooo

02civic_rida 08-28-2005 07:47 PM

not really diggin the rims... however, the color is hot, black on black always looks good imo

jttegx 08-28-2005 08:08 PM

not bad.

your gonna get tired of the look eventually. i had black rims :o

dirtySAMURAI 08-28-2005 08:19 PM

Black on black w/o chrome lip is not more original....it's done just about as much as any other combo......but to each his own right.

blouisgod 08-28-2005 08:35 PM

somehow that looks pretty badass

Robb989 08-28-2005 08:47 PM

Nice, I like those rims. Holy Sh*t man, you have the bottom part of your windshield tinted the the top part, damn you have balls. That's like a cop magnet.

yeah..it's just that it seems like i see so many cars with black/chrome lip wheels that i'm not really a fan of most of them

ciVictoria 08-28-2005 10:40 PM

I love the stealth look man great job!

ihjoon 08-28-2005 11:40 PM

it doesn't look bad, but i think if u got aluminum or titanium color, it'd accentuate your rims, you headlites match with it too. just my though.

to your own opinion, but i think its just annoying when people say that black with chrome lip is like every other civic. Thats like saying "oh...your civic is dropped like any other civic" Bottom line is everything that you do to your car and will do to your car will always have someone who done it before you. So please people stop saying black with polish lip is too common. i honestly see more silvers rim and hubcaps more than anything, but i NEVER hear anyone say "oh silver rims are too common now"!!!! end of rant. sorry had to get this off my chest

Looks exactly like mine except the rims and not lowered... But anyways i just took off my 'honeycomb' front grill and took off the 'louvered' fog light openings and i liked how it looks... more of a clean agressive look. Gonna put an black aluminum mesh piece in the grill in case something dings my radiator. Looks good and like ur style..

Pitch_BlacK 08-29-2005 01:42 AM

Man the theme is good but the rims i'm not feelin'. Sorry but if that has polished lip then It would look better. Its your choice tho whatever makes u happy :)

genexrocket 08-29-2005 02:30 AM

haha, the view from the inside is widescreen, with the windshield tinted top and bottom; wonder how it looks from inside...

jhonsok 08-29-2005 03:12 AM

black on black wheels is like SPOON style..i like that.
Just pure flat black rims..thats like hardcore racing look. no show !

kDiAbLo_718 08-29-2005 03:28 AM

Nice rims, but do somethin about the center cap, is it supposed to b that way???

Teh_Sare 08-29-2005 10:54 AM

looks tight. i love the black on black!

exturbo6 08-29-2005 11:20 AM

i like the rims, your car looks good.

XTREME2K2CIVIC 08-29-2005 11:24 AM

Dont like the style of the rims much but the drop looks nice...

TSSCivic 08-29-2005 02:35 PM

Black on black is aggressive. I would say the only thing you need is a rear spoiler right now, that's it.

2005civic2drlx 08-29-2005 02:42 PM

Not bad at all, I dig the black on black, but I agree with jttegx, you will get tired of it soon. I would add a chrome lip.

actually, the civic logo has been that way for a long time. ours is like that too- if you ever took a look at the logo on the back of your car!

the car looks nice, just needs a spoiler. the license plate has got to go. too many H emblems- not to mention the civic emblem which is lopsided.

rims are hot tho, good choice.

jttegx 08-29-2005 03:17 PM

i just noticed the tint on the front windshield too. thats gangstaaa

hows visability at night?

04|5spdCivic 08-30-2005 04:53 PM

well my entire car has limo tint so after dark i have to roll down the windows
And as for the view looking like a widescreen movie, thats exactly what i thought when i got in it the first time. lol
The rims would not have been my choice if i would have had other choices but since i got the rims and brand new falken tires for 300$ i couldnt say no.
As for the centercaps i dont like them that much either but im not gonna waste my time or money looking for new ones.

thanks for the comments guys and D5civic i havent seen you post forever.

05em2 08-30-2005 05:04 PM

wanna trade rims?
