Default Unique steel rims in silver?

Has any one painted these in silver?


I have my winter tires mounted on them.
My car is a black EJ6 hatch, and I just wanted to know how they would look in silver.

I tried puting a chrome lip on them, but for some reason they don't fit. Hubcaps don't fit these rims either. It's like they're quarter of an inch too small.

Stil looking for pictures with these in silver, or at least the lip painted.

THe 1996-1998 Civic CX came with silver-painted steelies; I think the 1999-2000s might have, too.

If you read above, you'll see that I've already said that I tried to put the trim rings on, but they didn't fit because the rims have a weird shape.

These are not stock rims, they have a little bit different shape and eight holes for lug-nuts, for two different bolt patterns. I want to see what these look like because they are a little bit bigger, wider and somewhat different shape than stock Honda silver steelies.

As for polishing the lip, these are steel rims, so the polished lip would soon turn into a brown/rusty lip.

That looks nice , but how would it look with the lip painted on?
Those rings do not fit on my rims.
As I've mentioned before, the rim has a weird shape.

I'm gonna try to convince my friend to buy some of those trim rings and paint them with that anodized red you buy in a rattle can. He'll have the best winter wheels in town haha.

Although your post was pretty much pointless, thanks for a bump non the less.

"Unique" is the brand, the company that makes those rims
