With the exception of those who's opinions don't matter... what does every one think of these wheels? I am a bit up in the air ( insert wheel gap joke here ) about the color. But, my car is champaigne, so silver wheels kind of clash.... so be honest.. ( Hopefully I can post this pic. I am a re-re )



Be kind......

Personally, I am a big fan of black rims I have a black contour, but could not find black rims for my car, and had to settle with silver. You're right: Silver + Champagne =

Another possibility for you are the Motegi MR12's in gunmetal. They are inexpensive, and would be almost what you are looking for. On the website, it doesn't list 4x108 as a bolt pattern, but they must exist, since I have them on my car.

do you have a full 'blown' side shot...
sorry bad attempt at tire humor....

i dont think they look too bad.....
but...
the crossectional width of the tire seems to be a little small for the wheel, thus the look of the sidewall pulling in towards the tread.
if the sidewall was more vertical and you dropped the car a little to fill the wheel well gap, then i personally think they would look pretty good...

but if you ask any NE-CEG'ers my opinion doesn't matter........

It's getting a 1.5" drop within the next month, which should help. The wheels have a gold metallic flake to them instead of the typical "flat" black...

Car looks mean with those. Gotta drop it, and then do some more black mods on the exterior... Not too bad, considering my allergies to all things Honda.

I agree. Your car looks nice.
1 inch of suspension lowering and 1 size larger tire cross section would be key.

ok..from the side i do like them, except for the chrome bolt heads that you can see around the perimeter at the end of each spoke, if thats what they are.

with a drop they should look real good, and i bet they look better in person with the gold flake setting off the color of the car.
