Hubcaps
Hey guys, i just lowered my 1999 civic dx with coilovers, i did a 3" drop, it looks fantastic, but i am wondering if i carefully paint my white/silver hubcaps black would that look good? Have any of you done it before, if you have, let me know so i can take it into consideration.

Re: Hubcaps
But im not planning on getting rims cuz i cant afford them, and i am wondering how i can paint them or if i can see a pic of a car with painted hubcaps. I dont like them how they are white and the car is dark green, doesnt match much.

Re: Hubcaps
clean and paint your steelies black.
buy beauty rings.
paint the rings to complement your car.

Re: Hubcaps
DONT PAINT THEM DUDE.... Your car will look even worse. Leave them as is even if you cant afford rims at the moment.
Cars with painted hubcaps look so cheap and poorly modded. Doesnt speak much for the owner.

Re: Hubcaps
The only color I'd suggest painting them would be a gunmetal, if not original silver. Look at some 80's car mags, you'll see just how bad paint-matching wheel covers looks - it's right up there with the Pontiac Aztec.
Black steelies tend to give it a decent look, if not cheap look in some people's eyes. It's a 4dr civic, thats inevitable anyways. Otherwise just search craig's list or your local area's HT classifieds for stock Honda rims. You can get Si or GSR rims for under $300 sometimes, with decent tires & finish.
