Default White or Gunmetal Type R Rims on Black 96-00 Civic Coupe?

I am thinking about buying 15" Type R rims for my black '97 Civic Coupe. I was thinking about getting gunmetal rims at first, but then I saw this picture of a black Coupe w/ white Type R rims and I think it looks great.


I couldn't find a picture of a black Civic Coupe with gunmetal Type R rims. If anybody can post pics of one, that would be great!

In the meantime, I would like you to participate in a poll on which color Type R rim would look better on a black 96-00 Civic Coupe so you can help me decide. Thanks!

Yeah I know and already have the 5 lug conversion chilling in my room. All I need are the wheels.

I know that black ITRs have gunmetal rims. If anybody can post a picture of a 96-00 Civic Coupe with gunmetal Type R rims, that would be great. Thanks!

Did you say 15 inch Type-R rims? I didn't know they made those in 5-lug...maybe I'm just out of the loop.

gunmetal, heres a picture of a hatchback with it, its exactly the same as your car but without the trunk space, all you gotta do is imagine it

it's not a coupe, but you can get an idea what the GM rims look like on a black 6g by this pic of my car...

Definitely get the gun metal... The white may appeal to you for a little while (plus it gets hella dirty hella fast) but the gunmetal is classic. I don't think you would ever regret it.
