i say the second one since it has the polished lip to go with the chrome accents on the car.

First ones look more race-like, second ones look more showy. I know those aren't the best descriptive words but it's all I got - I'm goin to bed :D.

Personally I like the first ones better. Also, I'm selling my stock rims so I don't want to get 17"s because of the winters...

I think it would go nice with my black/red theme interior (black/red exterior). Plus, I always wanted black or gunmetal wheels. Also, now that my headlight are completely red (from the side), the dark wheels would look good.

the white color is OK but the shape is not the best their is.

don't get me wrong her i am not trying to be a PITA but it is a matter of taste so i am just saying what i would like... doesn?t necessarily mean that every body else should agree with me.

in a much shorter version: my 2 cents.

BTW if you are going white rims... try something like the set Shaun (AKA daewooluvr) got on his car. i belive they are 16" and they look very nice too.

if you are set on dark rims then the second option looks better than the first, the shiny lip gives it style plus the first option is kinda like your OEM rims with a paint job.

The first ones look like Spoon wheels (Spoon is a Honda tunner), Rota also makes those wheels for Spoon.

It looks good with them BTW
