Default Can I get some opinions on wheels that I want to purchase? Other stuff too

I have an all black 95 civic ex, and I want to go with a black and yellow appearance. I want all the vents and some other stuff in the inside painted yellow. How should I go about doing this?


These are the wheels I was checking out. Is this a good company? Can I put 17 inch wheels on a civic?


Thoughts or suggestions are welcome

edit:Suggestion noted!! Changed wheel to something else. If you have thoughts on wheels, hook me up.

P.s. How big does honda make their wheels?

If you REALLY like yellow that much.

17"s will fit on a civic, but lowering it will be advised. Look at 16"s for a better look. And in my personal opinion along with just shy of all of honda-tech, look at different wheels too, those are just horribly ugly. But if you like them, its your car.

as far as painting the interior, some of the vents can be removed, you will have to look at a diagram for your car. Since the vents are hard plastic, it would be ok to use Krylon's Fusion brand spray paint which is designed for plastics.
But the ideal way would be to use Vynil Spray Dye. It will bond better, last longer, and hold the stock textures better. You can also use this on the soft plastics in the car too.
Tape everything off extremely well first.

Id figure Id help you out, but I strongly suggest looking at keeping the interior the same color as well as less eye-soring wheels.

check out those threads and then ask yourself if this is the correct place to be posting up something like that

a lot of people are going to give you ****.

IMO, do what you want, but try to educate yourself first. Figure out what you are hoping to accomplish with this car?

oh yea, I'm pretty sure someone will chime in and tell you to go "JDM". So, I'll say it now. JDM is gay as well.

honestly its all up to you... i posted above the threads on here that people could put pictures of the nicest cars in there opinion

what you need to do is look through it figure out what kind of style you want to go for and just look for a rim that you like.

do you really want your car to look the way somebody else wants it to. i would hope not

so your best bet would be to go to the apperence cosmetic forum i konw you can't post there but just look around at some cars find some rims you like and then buy them.
