Default Pics of Black civic with gunmetal si with red lip

this is my friends car he wants to know your feedback about his car.

he wants to you if you like the red lip or the polished lip bettter
he painted these rims because they were messed up when he got them he also has normal si's and blades.

Not feelin' the lips. Either stock, or all gunmetal.

stock Si's would be my choice. if he was gonna' go with the gunmetals w/ polished lip, he should lose the centercaps.

I think the polished lip with the centercap looks good! Best painted Si wheels I've seen

on that car, the polished lip looks much nicer to me. the red lip seems to be over doing it.

stock or all gunmetal. Si rims don't have enough of a lip to do a contrast like that. if he wants a painted or polished lip, use LS Mesh.

They both don't look bad...

If it were me though, i'd sell the three sets of wheels and invest in 6.5 wide rim and most importantly some good tires.

IMO, i like the polished lip better.
