Should I get the Motegi 7 or 8 spoke?

And my car is black with white everything else...stickers and interior stuff...should I get white wheels to match the rest of the car or go with silver????

18s will give you some pretty bad clearance problems (assuming your car is lowered) unless you roll your fenders. 17s will rub, but if its gonna be a showcar, then you probably wont mind. IMO, 16s and 15s look the best, show or not. Keep in mind 17s or 18s will totally dwarf the appearance of your brakes, so if you want the car to look decent, you might think about a big brake kit.

I saw this eclipse and I wanted it to look exactly like it...except this is a civic...

imagine a civic that looks like this with different rims and a smaller spoiler...and a black widow body kit, and I have chrome euro tails.......
