Dear TJP83,

Please do not choose white wheels to go with your nice black Civic. White wheels require much more maintainence (read: cleaning) than other wheel colors. If you do choose to go with white rims, anticipate time for cleaning off dirt, grime... and brake dust which will always be there... everyday. Although the black on white contrast may seem appealing, in time, you will tire of its appearance.

Sincerely,
x-man

P.S. All things considered, it is ultimately your choice and, I respect that.

i agree with xivera. i have white rims on my 99 blue si and they are a pain in the ass to keep clean all the time. go with gunmetal or silver. but that is just my opinion.

I know konig isn't the best quality, but I got 15" heliums for less than $400. They're bronze, look good, and weigh 10.8-10.9 lbs.
