would this look cheap>
If i had 15" wheels on mah civic then bought some cool 6 spoke wheel covers and painted them non-shiny black. Black wheels, black car, black tires (ofcourse). Would that look cool? You guys seem to know what's cool and i would like your opinion. The tires and wheel covers and the whole car pretty much would look very close to the one pictured below.
any cost effective suggestions would be helpful

if that's your style... do it.. at least you don't have to worry about people jacking your rim
it might look cheap.. but you will have money for bigger and better upgrades

Do your own thing and dont follow what others think is cool.
"Its hip to be square." I just remembered that from American Pyscho, great movie.

Re: would this look cheap> (vtecvoodoo)
when did black become so cool?
I personally think $20 bling bling chrome hubcaps are FAWKIN GAY, but you're goin black with them, so I dunno... Like everyone else says, do what you want, your car... I think if you're gonna get hub caps you should get some honda ones, maybe from a different honda, but atleast honda ones aren't immitation chrome bling blings
I never liked black rims, but I'm not gonna hate on them if its someones style... Rims are always better than hubcaps, lighter, more expensive, but they add to your car.Well, you got one good thing goin for you, theives are less likely to jack your painted hubcaps
they'll prolly slash your tires for making them think they were rims But I think itd be noticable if you had 5 spoked rims with fat gaps between that show the holey OE's

Re: would this look cheap> (VTECTIME)
good, spoked ones are the gayest, cuz I was just at target and they had chrome 5 spoke hubs for $19.99 and they say "SE Special Edition" in the middle wtf! 
Just say no to rice
"You want 5 spoke, why dont you just buy the rims?" I can hear that coming from PatrickEwing (i think it was him) whoever it was

When i first bought my car, the previous owner had painted the hubcaps.. It looked nice... its the car in the middle by the way.
