Which color for rims?
so i'm looking for a new look on my teg and was thinking about painting my blades. i dont want to spend money on rims when i just bought a set of new tires about 4 months ago. so i think painting them would be good for now. but i havent decided what color to paint them. so this is where you guys come in and help me decide. thanks... oh yeah i'm painting my calipers red by the way. 
here's how she looks now.

I love your car the way it is. Looks really clean. Eventually when your budget permits, you can keep the clean look with a nice set of aftermarket rims, but for now, I think it looks nice. Maybe re-finish them at a wheel shop if they're in bad condition up close.
Otherwise, get some photoshop action goin...give you a good idea of your options if you want to paint.

I say Keep them the way they are, blades should never be painted, Its a perfect wheel to begin with. but i guess if you had to paint it, you should go with White, pick up the latest honda tuning in the readers rides you will see how it looks.

thanks for the input guys. i have seen them painted white and gunmetal and i can say in gunmetal they do look official. but in white they looked pretty nice too. but when i think about it, their the originals that came with the car and are classics so that makes me not want to paint them.

Usually the only reason people paint them is cuz the Clear is fucked up on theres, and they dont feel like stripping them and polishing them. so i they still Fresh i dont see a need to. |

I say keep the color you have and just make them look more minty. I would also lower the back of the car some more. it looks like you pick the wrong tire choice for your ride. I would have used falken azenis 215/15/50.

yeah i thought of lowering the back a bit more, but i think it'll start to scrape. in the pic it looks alot higher than it really is tho. as for tires, i have 205/50/15 ectas. i got a good deal on them so i went with the khumos.... thanks for all the imput guys, i've decided to stay original. their simple, clean and really dont have time to paint them. lol. anyways, thanks again. i'll post some pics once i get time to paint the calipers.  out...
