i'd make them white if i had to paint them.


or leave them the way they are.

Just take them to a local autobody shop, or detail shop for a nice paint. I would go gloss black, but everyone else will say flat. What about gun metal, or bronze? I personally like bronze wheels on a white/black car.

i got fat fives on my black rex,imo u should keep them with factroy finish if they arent all messed up.

The reason I asked for the opinion between flat black and gloss black is because I want BLACK wheels.... NOT silver..

Sure it looks good, but if I want it black, I'll paint them black.. If i wanted to keep them silver, I'd do so...

I'm jsut trying to get some opinions....

i have a white ej1 coupe with flat black rims and a polished lip kinda ish...i'll post pics after school or tomorrow. see if you like black on white.

leave them stock or polish them. oem honda wheels do not look good painted black, if you want black wheels why not buy aftermarket?

Well we are giving you opinions so don't get upset. I think black wheels look cheap. I say leave the the factory finish. If you want black wheels then buy them. Everytime I see black wheels the first thing I think of is hey look steelies.

My opinion is to sell them and buy black wheels. http://www.edgeracing.com/wheel/27/

Once again fellas, lets try to keep on track here...
I'm simply asking opinions between <u>flat</u> and <u>gloss black</u>.. not between oem finish vs. black....

Thanks vteckillenzc.. your the first...

u know what u could do go take a pic of the rim and do a photochop and diffarent colors to see whats looks the best.

lol it was hard trying to find the angle to actually see the wheels. It was about 14.8 degrees vertically https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmileo.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

not too flat...but not too glossy.. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Polished is Very nice and often overlooked.
Someone with some Skillzors y0 photochop It for the OP.

I don't really care what you want me to do, I'm painting them black, more than likely a nice flat black.
