Honest opinions needed on rims!?
 

I can buy these 15 inch civic rims from a friend for $100. Then I would have them sandblasted and powdercoated BLACK for about $120. And I would still need tires. Is it worth it? I want to also keep my 14's because the tires are pilots and $. But I wouldn't mind a little bling. I hate to say this, but I had some heavy 16s on it for a summer but the car drove like shit. But bigger rims look awesome on these cars. What should I do?

what do they weigh? I just purchased some '99 15x6s for $200 with tires. They can be had for cheap, and at 13lbs. they arent bad to run some 205/50s. Not to mention the +40 offset, so I'm looking at about .5"-1" wider stance.

I really don't care what they look like...I'm still rocking dasies! I'd rock hot pink rims on the track if they had good tires on them, doesn't bother me.

They are very light but not sure on the exact weight. If I found a deal like that, I wouldn't hesitate.

Your pic doesn't show up for me because of our filtering firewall. :confused:

those civic wheels just look... like civic wheels

+1 to the 99+ 15"s, I'm rockin em too for now

I was helping swap headers on a red nsx last weekend and the wheels on it looked great. Then I realized they were just powdercoated stock wheels. That got me thinking about these. But its hard to visualize it.

they look great in black too, but I don't have those pics on this computer.

I demand to see them in black.

I know these rims are a little too civicish, but they would be unique. I wish I could see them in black and mounted, but I am inclined to agree with you guys. Oh well. Next time, just tell me what I want to here.

wow, hustlers car looks GREAT, wow

For the price, I'd rock them. Powdercoating will hide some of their ancestry, but whatever... they were cheap. For 100 buck wheels... I'd use some sandpaper and a good spraybomb job honestly.

I just went this OEM route for my track wheels...

I love oem wheels...

Are those the 14" BBS on the miata, or are those older BMW wheels?
