Help me decide!
 
Alright so I cracked one of my rims running a 40 series tire, and since the wheel is long since discontinued, and I cant find one anywhere.. I'll have to get new rims... and I've narrowed it down to these three...

A.

Honestly, none. A is overdone, B is ugly, and C won't look much different.

B...

Re: Help me decide!
 
first off i say paint the side moldings, door handles and mirrors silver, remove the fogs, get BOH and drop the car more or drop it period. Than consider the wheels, i would do black with chrome lip even though its played out

Re: Help me decide!
 
black is played out.....gold would look hideous....silver will look nice but as adam ssaid..... drop it, and paint all the black

Re: Help me decide!
 
haha.. alright BOH are going on next weekend, I can't go lower espec. since I want a lip kit for later, and I can't see spending like 100 bucks to paint the trim peices and mirrors.. I am kindof leaning towards the silver..... oh yeah and the fogs are coming off next weekend too:D

Kevbotron 03-26-2007 05:01 PM

Re: Help me decide!
 
Yeah I've started to think that way... i dunno maybe i should go with A, or a similar wheel, I wanna dif. look:shrug:

RHCP0801 03-26-2007 05:08 PM

Re: Help me decide!
 
im low and i have a lip kit, no problems

Kevbotron 03-26-2007 05:23 PM

Re: Help me decide!
 
^I'd rather not worry about scraping all the time.. roads where I live aren't as nice as you jersey/new yorkers;)

RHCP0801 03-26-2007 05:25 PM

Re: Help me decide!
 
ha nice as new york roads? i dont think so :rofl:

Re: Help me decide!
 
black is played, gold would be weird, but the silver would be the best of the three i guess

Kevbotron 03-26-2007 07:32 PM

Re: Help me decide!
 
I am certainly in a predicament... maybe ill just hold out in the F/S thread.. then I'll make a decision..

Re: Help me decide!
 
My civic looks exactly like yours (2004 SSM VP) and I have rims that look like A. Yeah I know black w/polished lip has been played out, but they do bring out the black on the side molding, door handles, etc..

Kevbotron 03-26-2007 08:59 PM

Re: Help me decide!
 
true that's what I was thinking... you gonna lower yours?

85gp4 03-26-2007 09:14 PM

Re: Help me decide!
 
No plans to drop it anytime soon. I just sold my 17" rims and put on a set of 15" rims. I drive about 500 miles each week for work, so I wanted it to ride smoother and also wanted tires that would last longer than 30,000 miles. I went with another set of black w/polished lip rims, just in a smaller size.
Once the car is paid off, I might drop it and put some 17" back once I have another daily driver. Most everyone that I have talked with said that their car rode rough after a drop and I drive too much to have a rough ride.

Your car will look very similar to this

Re: Help me decide!
 
A + BOH for sure, then you can leave all the trims black

Re: Help me decide!
 
A is best look for your car silver on silver is soooo boring!

Re: Help me decide!
 
def not B.

lxcivic2k1 03-26-2007 10:32 PM

Re: Help me decide!
 
wtf is with so many ppl saying not gold....B is the best choice IMO. Theres a silver civic with rims similar to those and it looks hot, its a coupe with no gap tho. I can't find which site it was on....its either on IP or EM.


Found it:

The easiest way to decide is to go to the Discount Tire site and use their "showcase" to view the rims on your car.
The Enkei PKR looks very similar to the black rim that you have as a choice.

Here is your car with the Enkei PKR. I have these on mine.
