Default Still looking for wheels suggestions

I ran this yesterday, but any suggestions from anyone what 17" wheels would look good on a 2007 EX Royal Blue Pearl? Also I saw a black si on here with gold/machined work wheels, wonder where he/she got those fine looking wheels

Yeah that was what I was thinking too on dark color in a five spoke. gunmetal is good too, or bronze, but everybody is going with gold or bronze.

I will have to go back and look at them again. I think I like the gunmetal five spokes and the ones I found were not expensive either.

Maybe HFP rims, I was gonna get that until I discovered that I could paint my own stock rims and make it into something completely different. I'm gonna try that first, paint it black or something, if I fails, I'll get the HFP rims. lol

Yeah, those were the ones, just went back and looked. I wasnt sure though if the center of the wheels looked a bit plain, but I like the color and the style. Now I just have to look at new tires!

Well, I have looked at so many wheels now, I have become confused a little on what is good, what isnt. So why not ask around! I agree, the inside silver doesnt really look that great, but I like bronze and gunmetal.
