Ok guys thanks for convincing me to ditch the white, here's the silver, it is much better. In all honesty tell me what you guys think now.

Looks great!!
I just realized that these are 8-spokers. I was looking at the 7-spoker rims.
Btw did you guys see the AEZ 2page ad in last month's SCC mag? I really like the Bimos and the Icon 5s.

That's what I'm talking about, where'd you get them and how much they run?

Hmmm I kinda liked the white ones. I see a few electric blue civic si running around on 17 or 18" white rims and it looks pretty damned good. But I guess it's a kid car so you can rationalize it.

On the other extreme, if I saw big white rims on a BMW 740i or a C class Mercedes, it would not look right.

I was gonna suggest gunmetal gray, but you switched rims so fast! LOL

Yeah my options were limited guys, the white is kinda cool, but the silver is more practical and looks more reserved. The white just says boy honda all over it

Tiiiighhhht

I don't know what you had before these, I must have missed the post, but judging from the replies you had the same ones only in white?

I dunno, I think the silver looks great, white is kind of corny and more suited for Civics or CRXs. Only thing is, the 17's look small to me! However, Nismo's look just right.

nah, tight azz rims anyways.

Looking much better Brian!!! I was going to get something similiar but I ended up buying nizmolee's 300zx wheels. Are you going to be around Torrance this weekend? I'm going to be up there and I want to check your rims out in person. I can show you my new setup too!!! Don't know if I'll have the bottle filled though. =(

Never saw the whites, but I'm feelin' the silvers.

I have the dark green/forest green (whatever you want to call it) and was thinking about going white, but I'm thinking that the safer bet is silver. I know I'll still be pleased.

Herbs go look for my other post with pics of my rims in white. I'm sure you'll go with silver after seeing them.
