Updated Civic pics
 

Hopefully this works...

The old wheels:


The New wheels(16" Royal gunmetal Rota C8's/yokohama Parada spec2's):

looks better than the old wheels, but i am not too hot for your new ones either.

i think your car barfed something in those pics ;) jfwy

I HATE silver lip wheels....words can't express how ugly I think they are!! IMO, you should've gone with all black wheels or gunmental or something like that. This is just my opinion....the car itsself is really clean for a 5th Gen....been taken care of it looks like :yes: I just think silver lip wheels are so damn ugly!! Don't take offense to that. I actually like the old wheels better on your car.

fine. ill break the cycle and say i LOVE silver lip wheels. Looks good.

thanks, finally someone with some sense :)

lol. too bad i got silver 17's, but its all good they were free.

honestly i love black rims with the silver lips....:yes:

Ummmm....NO, it's called preference, dude :rolleyes: I think they look ricey and cheesy.

i like the silver lip wheels.....specially on black cars but thats cause it helps break up all the black.......but they look good on yours

oh my god, you figured it out. we humans have preferences for certain things. I was just kidding w/ my comment above.

i really like the silver lip, cuz if you have just an all black rim, to an untrained eye from far away, it just looks like a steelie (or just plain dirty)... if you're guna get black or gunmetal wheels, it's all about the polished lip.

looks good.. much better than any other ghey choices out there..

i like the polished lip..

ugly
 

To me they just look ugly. They look cheap and just dont go with your car. You could have saved an extra $50 and got 17" rims. Maybe some tint or something but to me it doesnt look good.

jesus too many picky ass people........

i like the poslished lip too, but the spoke design doesn't go all that well with the car (at least for me). what's the weight of the wheels ?

Re: ugly
 

i just remembered why i dont come here much.. thanks for the reminder..:nono:

Its a forum! you ask people for there ideas and what they think of your car and what you have done.

thats totaly understandable... BUT my point was simply that the "tuners" here are not exactly after the same "look" or goal that i am after in tuning my car.. so to me yeah a car is a car... but asking for someones opinion of my car who thinks 17's are cool (no offense) is silly since i think they are ghey on an econobox civic..

Re: ugly
 

it has tint. also I dont wanna be a ricer rolling around w/ 17's on my civic. You probably think 18's are da bomb yo.

the spoke design!?!?!?!

16lbs

Re: Re: ugly
 

thats what i was saying politely..:yes:

looks good :yes:

I think they look quite nice. Much better than your old rims, and lighter too. Good tire choice too:yes: . Your car could use a wash though;) . I think the only thing throwing the look off is the amber in the headlight clashing with the silver on the lip... if you can get rid of that, it'd look twice as good...:yes:

hmmm, some new corners would probably help things out. thanks for the advice.

And thanks for everyones opinions, even if I don't like some of them ;)

sorry im late...i have to go to the library (its right down the street) to check my email...and hst.......because the computer is D-E-D dead (power surge defeated the surge protector and toasted the hd and everything else as well...)

anyway...

looks really good man - A+

thanks brotha.

sorry about your computer, maybe the surge protector comes with some kinda guarantee.

WHITE RIMS....
i like WHITE RIMS....

i personally do not like white rims at all. but thats just me. sometimes they look good though.

white rims, especially on a red car, are incredibly tacky...

no...but my computer still has 1yr on the extended warranty...so...fixed fo free

it aint bad azciv. I think that it is way better than the old set that you have. peace out!

d00d very nice! i got silver lipped rims on mine! i love that shiat!;)

thanks :)

The car looks real good - way to paint those dumb black plastic things that still plague my car!!

Your comments just let us know you dont see the thick line between Rice and Performance. That's why OC is a little perturbed.
