White is too retro, the silver ones would look best. You would put the dark ones on a black or graphite euro

Yes true, but in my opinion, the chrome lip, on black is the problem.
i wouldnt go for black if i had chrome lips especially with narrow spokes like the pic...
keep em coming, i've finished work now im going home and gonna log on there :)

the last two of the 2nd set of 4 you put out. those are hot and yeah dont go for black with silver euro. silver or chrome=/. silvers more a lux/VIP colour then sports. go with the widetracked, and hyperblack. if you want theres a set of rays that are very simliar to the axis silver. my mate has it on his purple euro it looks hot.

ok the car is silver and an accord which is quite plain so anything with a diff coloured lip/chrome looks over the top. Doesn't really suit the car IMO
Stick with silver but something that looks plain with larger spokes but stylish like the advan TC2 (http://www.gruppe-s.com/Advan/advantc2.htm) advan T6 (http://www.gruppe-s.com/Advan/advant6.htm) or even just TE37's

Well, there's rice and then there's RICE.

To my eye 19" wheels will always look at least a bit ricey, regardless of how nice they might otherwise be...

out of the 1st 4 you posted (2nd and 4th one)
2nd set 1st one only.
Euro look nice and clean with a 6 spoker design and no dark rims at all for silver, can prob barely pull it off with a gun metal grey colour.

BUT EACH TO THEIR OWN. MY 2c

Yeaaa cause these are the ones i want but i'm sooo not sure, i saw a Lotus with similar wheels like those on it and they looked hoooot. i'm worried that they will stick out of the guards which imo is uuuuugly i don't want to get a camber kit...yet...

I'd love to but i'm such a noobie at wheels all the offset thingys and stuff lol :D the reason why i'm looking at tempe is coz it's easy. but i would love jap spec rims, if i can get them for 2.5 wit tyres, i'd even consider second hand.

Thanks guys for all your opinions, i have made up my mind.

i looove the axis hiros, the fact that they have deep dish, they would be the obvious choice to make if you wanna play safe. imo i already have silver five spokes on my car (the factory rims) so that is why i'm not going with the hiros.

the axis decades (pic removed) i liked them too....but.... imo i think i have seen them on many cars and they are tooo popular soooo them out the window.

Black Type-M's are gonna be my choice. imo the red stripe around the rim will break up the plain colour of the silver car and add contrast to the black rim but not as much much as a chrome deep dish would. :D

Now my decision has to be size 18's or 19':confused::confused::confused:

i know the bigger i go the rougher the ride, but i like the low profile look of 19" my question is would there be too much rubber if i get 18" hmmm hmmm hmmm :confused: and 18's are $800 cheaper but i like 19's arrrrggh how frustymundo is this (my new word) opinons needed please

VTi_b0i
08-03-2008, 05:28 PM
good choice :)
u gotta go 19s man...u dont want them to look too small

martizzle

u gotta go 19s man...u dont want them to look too small

yeah cool ive measured and stuff today and read up looks like the 19s are gonna fit with no issues( fingers crossed )

Lukey
08-03-2008, 08:58 PM
U can get low profile for 18's aswell as 19's.

It is ur car, get what YOU think looks good.

I like the black type m.

But i don't know if the red/black combo will work with silver?

Unless you have red Recaro's or something to even it out?

Can you get them in just black? that would look tuff!

13-03-2008, 06:02 PM
id say go for the back one why? because your car is silver it will blend in with black Jdm style yo. but its ur decision at the end of the day.. cheerz

i know how to speak english, i'm just mucking around, lighten up. Thanks for your response. i really need to lower the car now, and that should make it look nice. btw the photo's do not do justice for the wheels. i agree from the pics the wheels don't look all that awesome, but in the real they do look really nice, tough and sporty imo.
