I say go with a darker shade, but as far as the rims themselves…it looks too much like wheels at Pepboys that too many people are running (poorly at that). Check out MBMotoring wheels…they have a Work Meister copy that’ll look perfect on that shade of silver. ---

Check out MBMotoring wheels…they have a Work Meister copy that’ll look perfect on that shade of silver. cant find the meister copy. only these ![http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/mbmboo.gm.ang.jpg](http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/mbmboo.gm.ang.jpg) which I like but dunno about on her car. Im even thinking about 18’s in the back of my head… but didnt know how it would look since we’re not lowering the car. Someone on 8thcivic sent me these. Stock suspension and the wheel well gap looks fine… ( looks like a little less gap then on the stock wheels. its tempting. ---

A polished lip on a contrasting wheel actually makes your wheels look much SMALLER. The body style of the 8th gen does not lend itself well to this type of wheel because of the flares. At first glance that last pic looks almost like whitewalls! You can almost never go wrong with a 5 spoke but seriously save up for something that is worth it (at least some convincing knockoffs). Look at all the people selling beat 17s and 18s, they are constantly here or on Craigslist. Everyone has them, no one with any sense really wants them. This is why they are available at Pep Boys. Those pics from 8thcivic look super mediocre, it says “I just bought an $800 wheel and tire package, do you know where I can get a good deal on some seat covers?” ---

I don’t like that pic of the other civic you posted. Looks too pepboy-ish. The wheels look cheap, and the matching color with polished lip looks bad IMHO. The MB’s (either of them) in 18’s would look incredible on her silver car. ---
