Sigh...red wheels. Tasteful color combinations never go out of style. Black and bronze/gold/silver looks great. Red rims just don't look good on anything.

First of all, the phrase is, "Opinions are like ********: everyone has one and they all stink." If you leave the "and they all stink" off, the quotation makes no sense. It becomes equivalent to saying, "Opinions are like brains: everyone has one."

Secondly, there was A.) nothing harsh or derrogatory B.) nothing condescending and C.) nothing aimed towards your sorry *** in my post. If the proprietor of the thread feels insulted by my remark, I'm sure he's man enough to tell me to shut the **** up. Odd's are, he doesn't need you defending him over the internet.

Lastly, this is a message board. This specific forum of Honda-Tech is called "Appearance/Cosmetic" and is a place where enthusiasts share their views and opinions about each others' cars and the current stylings evident in, for lack of better wording, "the scene". If, God forbid, my comment got you all bent out of shape maybe you should spend your time in a field full of flowers and stuffed animals where your feelings are less likely to be hurt. If you decide that you are, indeed, man enough to stay in a forum where opinions that will differ from your own surface now and then, I cordially invite you to keep your inane, misdirected anger to yourself and leave the conversation to the more thick-skinned.

Thanks,

-Mike-

whoah, my intentions were never to start a flame war, however this is getting interesting. I just posted this to give a heads up on my new project. I hardly think the comments will sway me from doing what I posted.

Anyway, flame on.

By get them done do you mean powdercoated or are you serious about anodizing them? I've never seen red-anodized wheels. I hate to say it, but the only car with color-anodized wheels I've ever seen that didn't look like *** is the anniversary edition TransAM and those bad boys only come in white with sky-blue anodized 17's.

Who knows, though. Maybe red anodized wheels with a black civic will look neat. Doubt it though.

I am in a predicament, I live in a fairly small city. I see this guy around once in awhile so, I don't want to have a twin. We'll see how it turns out, if it's ugly i get them powdercoated back to black, I basically can't lose.
