Wheel advice on 96-98 EK Civic Ferio (as well as photoshop request)
I dont have any actual pics of my car but basically it looks just like Sir:Mallards (has jdm ferio converion) minus the wing and his wheels....as well planning to paint it OEM Midori Green Pearl,... right now in Cypress Green Pearl... can anyone photoshop Mallards car Midori Green for me and chop the following wheels im trying to decide on? any feed back? opions?


and planning to go either with one of the following wheels:
these are 17x7 +40offset 2" front & rear lips


these are 17x7.5 +42offset 2"front lip / 3" rear lip


and the infamous midori green color

That car is hot. I like that color but wouldn't mind seeing it chopped to midori. and i'd go with one of these. the silver ones if you decide to repaint.

imo
those are horrible wheel choices....
i saw ur car i forgot in which issue... **** is a nice car, very clean. made me want to paint my 4dr when i had it, the same color.
perhaps somthing 2 or 3 piece?
but teh polish/silver mesh ones win.

k... listen i didnt think i would get "flamed?" i dont even know if they call it that no more... i'm 32 years old, and have been around for a while, and didnt make this post to get put down but to get some feedback, the way i see it i was simply taking an individuals beautiful sedan, which as i stated mine is setup the same way (complete ferio conversion) but with oem cypress green pearl, and no spoiler no white rims,... pending on new rims, and is stripped ready for new paint.... so the pic of mallards car is just an example to use if someone can photoshop the wheels and the paint,... and as for the midori green hatch, just an example of the oem midori i want to repaint my sedan to.... i dont see how that is "i want to copy this guy or copy that guy" anyways this is the internet everyone is open to say whatever they want...
if anything i locally and even online have never seen any 96-00 midori green4 door sedans, which is one reason why i'd love to go thart route... and if there are already out there, oh well,... hats off to them as well as all the other cars that have painted their car champ white
...... i've been around the block for a long time back when i was known more so as "Snatchback" and had my eg6 all over here that got compliments left right and center from 97-2002... from stock fugly blue, to champ white, to crv sand brown, to flat black, from gsr cloths, leathers, black itr's, red itr's, del sol seats... this motor that motor, this set up that sset up... etc. etc....
but like i said its the internet,... so all you youth (unless you are as old as i am and are just that immature) that love to shut as many people down as much as possible feel free to continue
have a nice day.

I said nothing about you, I was merely correcting a misunderstanding.
As for wheels .... I don't particularly like either of them, but with Midori, I would pick a silver/polished wheel.
I personally think a really good bet that matches your taste would be a BBS RGR 17x7 38et (or 30et) in Silver or Diamond black:

Yes they come in 4x100 in those specs.

sorry about the misunderstanding, and thanks for correcting...
as for the wheels... "BBS" rims have always been a past time & present favortie... its just that i was considering these because i work at a nissan dealer and can get any of those rims with rubber for $700 tax in (canadian) so i thought i'd jump on them....
i love the mesh, becuase of my love of the bbs style buti just love the extra inch on the other wheels....

One thing I've come to terms with a long time ago is not cheaping out when it comes to wheels. Real-deal wheels are only a couple hundred more than fake wheels.
So I mean, think of it this way:
$700 for fake wheels, then later $1000 for real wheels.
Or
$1000 for real wheels right off the bat.
Choice is yours.

That car is hot. Goodluck with the chop and the wheels. I wish I could help you out but I dont know how to use photoshop.

Looks like I walked into Frankenstein's workshop! However, to help your purpose, the best side profile shot of this car exists in the NWP4LIFE Limelight section. <--car was on polished DIV3's which is the only time I ran a 16" on it.
