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 ****. 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.

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

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.

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.
