Default Wheel selection?

Alright I got a '00 Vouge Silver Civic and I'm looking for some wheels. I want something that won't stand out and draw attention. I could just get a set of silver Rota Slips. Any suggestions?

You said Rota, so I guess thats your budget. Bronze C8's?

Everyone and their mom has slips these days... If you want something that wont' stand out, go with some OE wheels...

Si, GSR (swirlies or 5 spoke), HX...
Import Auto Salvage used to have the 5 spoke GSR's for around $200-$250 w/out tires....not sure if they still do.

bettet yet, I have a 99-ex coupe...silver also.
Very clean and simple.
I have a set of 17" Racing Hart cp8's in Bronze.
I wish I had a digital camera so you could see them, but they are awesome.

Someone is dumb just because they bought a set of Spoon Sw388's???




edit: gunmetal rims on silver cars looks nice, imo.

Yeah thats true, only Dumb people buy Real stuff huh? I could have said Racing Hart CP035 light weight only .1 more lbs then Spoon wheels. But then again why be Dumb and Buy some USDM light weight wheels, when you can be smart and buy Rota's version.

Yeah I'm on a budget and I wouldn't want to spend a pretty penny that will end up getting stolen.

You are so right,

I always hear people say that everyone & their ..... Have Rotas but here in the NorthEast that is not the case. I think in the last 2 years I have only seen 2 people with the slips. Go for what you can afford and what you like.

If you can afford and you like Spoon/Mugen go for that !!!

But if can't afford them and only Rota/other low budget brands then go for them !!!

I think GSR swirlies would be fine. There's a little bling factor, but they still wouldn't stand out too much.
