Cool Which colour rims?

Hi everybody, I need some opinions on this one:

I'm gonna put some rims on my Civic in the close future. But I want to know everybody's opinion on colour. I'm not sure whether to go for silver or black.

Here's what my car looks like from the side (pre-exhaust mod):


Silver Lenso RS5:


Black Lenso RS5:


Keep in mind the car is likely to be re-sprayed candy red (if not then black) in the future. All opinions welcome! Thanks guys

I love the blacks. I suppose you could always get the silvers painted at a later date if you wanted a change.

Thanks for the replys guys. As the car is gonna stay silver for at least the next year, I'm gonna go for silver. When the car is sprayed candy red I will get the blacks as my winter alloys, and then purchase some chrome rims as well!

Default Re: Which colour rims?

thats a cool idea, seasonal changes to your car

I personaly love black rims....full stop

if the car is gona be sprayed Candy red, black rims will look hot....... but

If The car is gona b black, silver will provide some contrast n look better.

But if the car is staying silver chuck the black rims on.

I also see alot of mix n matching these days in tuning. Some ppl put black rims on the rear n silver or white at the front..... its different! in some cases looks good. All depends on what you personally like and want to be seen in.

Hope all turns out good mate
