Default which wheels for gold civic

I just sold my riced out gold civic and bought another 93 Civic Ex Coupe. Its going in the paintshop next week to get painted gold and get swapped. But I'm stumped on what kind of wheels to get. PLEASE HELP

I've been looking at the Rota Group N w/red lip, Rota GT3 in royal black, and Rota Circuit 8 in royal bronze all in 15"


Which one of the wheels do you think would look good If you can photoshop these wheels on to get the idea that would be great


Heres a pic of the riced out civic its the same color I'm painting the new civic

definitely go with something dark... black or gunmetal. a polished lip would set it off nicely.

go with 15s with 205/50/15 tires. looks best imo.

My guess is that he doesn't have Gram Light money, considering all three of his options were Rota's.

I don't have the money right now for a more expensive wheel. But I will be in the market for a better set of wheels after i graduate this September. Just for now the Rotas will do

Are Gram Lights even expensive? They're cast wheels aren't they?

I guess the volk GL57 15x7 are $912 on jhpusa but they only come in white, silver, and gold and I'm not really feeling any of those colors

I found a set of 15x7 volk te37 in bronze today for 1100 wondering how bronze wheels will look on this kind of gold
