Default What factory wheels look best on a Coupe?

I have a 95 Civic DX Coupe I just ended up with. In the process of swapping a D16Z6 into it. This is Project Budget/Daily Driver. The wheels that were on it went on my daughters Paseo, so I'm in need of wheels/tires to get rid of the black steelies its sitting on right now.

My question is, what wheels look good on a 95 Coupe? Would like to find a set of good looking stockers, if I can find a deal somewhere. Any ideas and/or suggestions would be great. Here is a pic of the car, sorry its the only one I have, and I know its a crappy pic LOL

my mistake. you just called everyone who likes them a fan boi. minus the jdm part. my point is that just because something is popular, doesn't necessarily make it taboo.

I'm surprised it wasn't already mentioned, but I'd say GSR wheels are one of the best looking OEM wheels that you could use.

love the EK4 wheels. Honda Fit wheels actually don't look bad. They give it a nice stock look.

Speaking of polished SI rims, has anyone ever seen white SI rims? I'm sure it's been done. I haven't seen pics, though. Seems like it would blend well with a white car.

Well, if you're looking to buy factory wheels, their price have gone up to the point that they're about the same price as aftermarket wheels. But to put in my vote as to the best looking factory wheels on a coupe, i'd say
1.) EK4 rims
2.) GSR blades or HX rims
3.) EM1 Si Rims
4.) LS Meshies

or if you could find them, i like the Integra SE rims too.

I guess I just figured stockers would be cheaper. Maybe I need to look at aftermarket too.
