Default I love flat black rims

These are going to be my next purchase. I prefer tires that dont look like rubber bands too, so 15" rims with some good 205 or 215/50/15's will be perfect for me!

ah man, flat black slippys are where it's at. a mate of mine had them in 15s on his icy white EG civic, we test fitted them to a silver DC2 integra, then onto my white LC1. all three cars looked cracking with them.



if i'm honest, i'm not sure i'm a fan of the huge lip around the edge. i think these are one of very few wheels which would look better with a higher offset, if only to bring out the spokes a bit more.

the ones on liz's tib didn't look bad, but they were 16s or 17s.. 15s will look TINY.

if you want to go 15" you have to have a thin spoked rim. and really like sock said it will look small either way.
