Hey, Im seriously looking at getting my wheels powder coated gunmetal grey or similar so threw a quick chop together to get some opinions/suggestions.

My main motivation for wanting a change is a dude down the rode has immitated my car (only his is non-turbo, but same wheels, colour, etc) and I want to be unique.

Thanks in advance.

 

just get different wheels

that intercooler is huge

 

bronze

At this stage I dont have the time to look for new rims. or the money. but definately something to think about.

Now I change the question to, do you think the wheels would look better gun metal/bronze than silver?

Ive been looking at my car with the wheels silver for over a year, and I kind of like the change, but cant tell whether im making the right decision. To me it looks twice as stealth with the dark wheels, and bling with silver.

 

how about more of a goldish color maybe

 

Heres what they would look like more gold/bronze.



I cant say im liking it as much as the grey, what do you guys think.

 

white ?
i think it looks better silver honestly but you can always chop it and see how it looks
i like how the silver rims just pop at you even though they are so big for my tastes

 

Thanks for the opinions, I do like the silver, but I want my car to look a bit different from the rest.

Anyone else go suggestions?

 

what color is your car??

This would be the gunmetal sort of colour i'd want -

honnestly, imo, i would keep em stock color

 

Well, ****: since it's turbo .

But seriously, keep it stock.

 

15" TE 37's in Bronze. That's FLY

dark green

Thanks for the advice.

 

holly **** i hope you need all of that IC

 

leave em, since you roll with no front bumper Id keep them cause they match your end tanks/intercooler!

 

get new wheels, nice color btw

Do I roll with no front bumper? hell no . As you can see its parked up in my driveway, I wanted a shot of the cooler.

I think im going to leave them for now. I think if my car was grey or white then gunmetal, white, or bronze wheels would definately be the go, but green with grey wheels? the more I think the yucker I think it will be.

Thanks for the advice.

 

i think he said you roll with no bumper because it looks like the license plate is on with no bumper...

 

What advantages are there to having an IC that large on a civic?

 

get some better shots of your car, its hard for us to really see the color scheme or even do a decent chop.

fitment, overheating the radiator by blocking air flow

the question is that is it nesscary for such a huge one(without much needed info, I am guessing he's running 20 lbs =P)
