White, black with chrome time, red, or any color really. I think white looks hella sweet.

You can always go with the same as everyone else. Such as but not limited to red w/wo polished lip, gold w/wo polished lip, black w/wo polished lip, bronze w/wo polished lip, gunmetal, or white.

Or you can be different and get something unique. BTW, pink is not unique anymore. Too many people caught on to it. Maybe some bright orange, or maybe, just maybe, the regular silver flake which has all but dissappeared. Keep the bling to a minimum or risk getting the car stolen and we have to hear about your mad tyte red w/ polished lip gt3's on the market in such and such city.

Also, this is not the place to ask this question. We have an apperance and cosmetic forum for this exact reason.

Don't do Red!!! Check these out. Maybe not this brand but similar design. Subtle but aggressive.

It's up to you to decide. With black, 'almost' any color will flow. It depends on other things you do to/put on the car. It also depends on the suspension, what the car's going to be used for.

As far as colors go, the possibilities are endless, my advice is find a style of wheel you like, and buy it...if it's not available in a color you want, have it powdercoated, deal with it, or find another wheel.

Good luck

Around me, I have seen no less than 4 cars with pink/ polished lip rotas. It is quite annoying. Nobody is original anymore.

These are the most popular because they look best...I understand everyone has their own unique flavour but let's be realistic, no sane person will put purple wheels on their car.

Yeah, bright orange rims would be my first choice to keep attention off my Civic.

I think red looks kinda cool with black. I know a guy with a CRX that was repainting it, and ended up painting his rims red, painting spyder webs on the car and added two thin racing stripes that on the ends looked like blood dripping. It was kinda cool.
