Course, you know that any of these will take the "sleeper" out of the car...you need 13" or 14" steelies with no drop...but the 99-00 si rims look the best IMO.

VX or HX rims.

 

painted black. Or do they come black?

 

Not really becase the town that I live in that is all that anyone ever does to there cars here. This town is filled with Neons with huge wings and graphics all over them. there is only a couple civics that you know have a swap.

 

Painted black would be better. They both come silver from the factory.

 

black rims are hardly for sleeper! those stick out like sore thumb! try some stock rims like vx, or hx, they are light weight also! and look so stock! heres my sleeper

 

sleeper or not! dont abuse your hatch like that!! haha its clean... but those stock rims kill it bigtime. get yourself some 15in rims too. it will still look like a sleeper if you stick to stock rims. id get the SI rims.

 

if you really want to have a sleeper ride, adjust your coilovers so it looks like your car is only lowered and inch or less. as close to stock as you can get it. get some 01 civic EX wheels(15" steelies). go to PepBoy's and buy some silver wheel paint. paint them. put some good tires (i.e. Falken Azenis, Nitto 555's whatever floats yoru boat).
TADAH! instant sleeper. while you are at it. paint your exhaust hi heat black. now go race for pink slips assuming you have a bad *** motor.

 

i say c8s, a little bit of looks never hurt anyone

 

here is my 92 with
15" 01 CIVIC steeles, and hubbies! lol,....
nawh, don't go this way this is winter trim for me only....
just go with 15's, i'm using simple 6 spoke BSA silver alloys
for the street and looking for a set of SiR's for the circuit,
or will switch for the street i don't know yet?

 

This is by far the best suggestion yet...Listen to the man, he has good ideas!

 

sleeper
never know what hit them

 

i just want my car to look stock right now. there are far too many thefts in my area. after i do my swap in a couple of weeks, my car is going to sleeper mode. some people fix up their rides for attention but don't want to admit it. i could care less about the appearance.
i hate going to malls or watching a movie and worrying if someone is going to jack my wheels or key my **** just for the hell of it.

 

stock silver donuts are hella sleeper...or hubbies...to me if you see gsr's on a dumped hatch...i assume theirs a gsr motor in that thing...same with other OEm rims...that's me though

 

i personally am looking for 01 EX 15" steelies so i can paint them silver with that DuPont wheel paint. i'll even put a HONDA in the middle.

 

i have some 99 ex steelies

 

Get some HX wheels, spray them black, then modify stock EX hubbies to fit over them.
Super sleeper look w/ nice 11lbs wheels.

 

I am also running 01 civic steelies and hubcaps. I still get some peeps looking coz it looks like an SI wheel from far away.

 

Rims dont make a sleeper...just get something 15x7 and lightweight with some falken azenis or A032R rubber.

 

hubcaps are the only way you'll ever be sleeper looking, whoever mentioned anything about aftermarket wheels is an assclown!!!

 

Black gsr's in my sleeper.

 

i just say to get black slipstreams, they look micheiviously aggressive, yet sleeper-esque -- in 15's tho
