I'm in the process of doing a 5 lug conversion and need your opinions

I have always wanted gunmetal wheels for my coupe, but I still love my white ones.

So here is the car... it's a 2000 milano red civic coupe. I will be getting some sort of Honda wheel most likely. What do you guys like the look of better white or gunmetal on red? I know somebody will say "it's your car do what you want" but me and the wife need a tie breaker

 

hmmm white, be different!!

 

Just curious...do you have any pics of your car? That way we can see what we're workin with as far as current body mods.

whites what I have now... but I do like the way it looks hmmm maybe time for a change... ****, now I'm more confused then ever

 

White does look baddass on Milano Red....I also like the look of gunmetal on that color as well....I currently run black slipstreams...and was looking to go to a deep dish gunmetal with polished lip....I'm gonna have to vote gunmetal in this case

 

i swear this more and more people on this site can't make there own decision.

 

I'm gonna have to go with white since you don't have a cf hood or CTR lights. The white looks better with your stock body. I do like those P1's you have there...they look nice.

If you are planin to do some black housing or cf lip or hood in the near future...I'd go with the gunmetal...but if not...stick with the white.

 

gunmetal

that looks nice

thanks for all the responses and keep them coming

 

gunmetal will be sweet

 

I think a dark colored type rim is good. I have a black 95 civic with 17 inch gold Rays Enginiering Gram Light Pros with the polished lip. A gun metal version would look good. but if you can afford it go all out and get a 17inch muegen since you will have a five lug conversion.

thanks for your input and welcome to Honda-Tech

 

Here is what the car looks like now. It's the red one with the white rims.

 

I've never been a huge fan of white wheels, but those look pretty good. I think since you have all the trim painted red, some bronze wheels might look nice.

 

the RSX have the same lug pattern as the CTR(EK9) and ITR(DC2)?

 

id go with some USDM gunmetal ITR wheels. i'm not really a big fan of white wheels on red.

 

silver

 

you should buy gm and cw itr wheel like me.

Yes it does, but I'm not sure if the offset of the wheels would be correct.

 

white dc-5 wheels would look best to me

 

Mugen M7

 

both looking very nice
