Default GOT TASTE? need you help/opinion

i have a red 93 civic ex coupe and i'm looking for some new wheels. right now, i'm considering flat black slipstreams, bronze slipstreams, or bronze circuit-8 in maybe 15" or 16". i've seen a lot of pictures of cars on H-T and i must say that you people on here have a lot of taste. so which rims do you think would look nice on my car? or should i just keep the ones i have now. BTW, my car now has amber corners and amber sidemarkers if that makes any difference. here's a picture of my car and feel free to photoshop it if you want, just do your thing. and post suggestions of other rims if neccessary. thanks a lot.

I have a thing for coupes and EX hubcaps...lol.

What's the limit? I think some Buddy Club P-1's would look dope too, or some Kosei K-1's

look, my friend happens to be having some type of special right now. he's doing it for whatever rota wheel you want. i think 16s would be a good size and black or bronze would be nice. either slips or c8s. not to try to make a sale but they happen to be the wheels and colors you were looking at anyway and it is my personal opinion regardless of the great deals you can find at 1201aeromotiv.com .

of course not... i'm definately not going to rice it out. but i'm kinda going for the JDM look and the slips and c-8s are replicas of spoon sw388 and mugen mf8. i got amber corners and amber sidemarkers too, just need some rims to finish the look.

i say you go with the black slimstreams. red and black have a really nice contrast. you can also get the red spoon lug nuts to match.. just my .02...

Take the clear corner off

He asked for Taste..imitations are not "tasteful" IMO...

Maybe ask, "What would look better? These are the choices."

if you plan on leaving your sidemolding black, then go with some black wheels.

since the front of your car is 'ambered out' it would probably look better to return to stock on the tails too. not telling you what to do, but my 'taste' leads me to say keep things in line. if you can, match stuff.
