CleanGSR Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm suppossed to be trading my rims at noon today for a set of 99 Civic SI rims. I did a little photoshop and curious to see if you guys like them better stock or painted gunmetal. Sorry for the crappy photoshop, but it gives an idea. Let me know. I like both a lot, so can't decide. Would like to decide today though so I can paint them (if I decide that route) before mounting them tonight.

cranny Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 if thats the look your going for rather than your aftermarkets , than i like the top one , silver better. i mean if your going for the stock look , why paint them gunmetal , would be defeating the whole purpose of looking stock.

CleanGSR Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 I"m not exactly going for the "stock" look. Just something different. I've only seen a few integras with SI rims, and like the looks. I've never seen an integra with gunmetal si rims. Just looking to make them look the best I can for what they are. I really like the "polished" look a lot too, though, so might run that for awhile.

Xeryon Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 In all honesty, I really liked the previous wheels the best. These do look nice as well though. But, of the two you shown above I like the unpainted better. Reason being is that the whole car is already black. Having the wheels silver makes them pop out at you and draws attention to them. The painted ones just kind of fade into the rest of the car. With no other bright trim, bright colors, or (gasp) bright graphics on the car the whole thing would kind of be plain. If you did a polished lip on it that might be enough to make the wheels pop as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLach Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I vote for just the silver ones. I don't think they look good in gunmetal on your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guythatknowsnothing Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 polished for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Either or. They'll look better than what you currently have, and they'll draw more attention to the OEM lip kit BTW, welcome back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 i hate SI wheels, so i cant really fairly give my unbiased opinion. The rest of the car'll look great as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Still loved your old set, but honestly the silver ones look good on there, even though I don't normally like Si rims. Stick around, mang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 i really liked the blacked out look that you had goin on youre car before, but out of those two, the silver definitely looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapaneseDomesticMarketGSR Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Silver looks better. You should check out the GSR fat fives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 While I typically like darker wheels and such, the polished look better in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'm going to throw something else into the mix here. This is my current setup. I'm almost liking my current 14's better than any of them. Opinions on that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 f*ck the rims. I want the car. Gawd damn! 14"s look pretty nice. I'd be set on those si's though, with the way your car looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 SI wheels on a teggy look awesome. I would post a pic, but I am on a slow connection. Maybe coffee will post it? He has a pic of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRG7 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 might as well save the cash and stick with your current 14's, looks pretty good. only thing i don't like is the hood, but you hardly notice it most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Yeah, the 14's are needing new tires soon. Plus they're technically my dad's, though I doubt he'll ever want them back. I already got the SI wheels though. I'm thinking about selling them and using the cash for new tires and extended lugs and spacers for the 14's. Hood...well, I'm not crazy abou it either, but my stock hood has a problem. One bolt broke off inside and another one I can't get the bolt started. If I could get those fixed, my stock hood would be back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 if you want, i have a set of 16''s for sale after im done refinishing them if you wanted those. Check them out in the Wheels forum under fixing fugly wheels.. PM me if interested. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 I think the Integra Fat 5's are hideous. I've got a guy interested in buying them or trading for HX's w/ new tires. If that falls through then I'll just keep them and throw new tires on em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
