Default Help!! What color rims?

hi everyone, this might be a noob question but since i can't find any answer to my question thru search, you guys are my last hope.

i have a 2001 satin silver accord sedan, and am thinking about gettign rims for it. But i can't seem to be able to visualize waht color rims will go best with my car. I've always thought that chrome goes with all colors, but decided that it might not go so well with the silver on my car. can any one help?? what color to go with?

also i am debating between the Racing Hart C5's, Katana C5's, and the Enkei Rs5's and the Enkei DM5. as u can tell i facy the 5 spokes. so if any one has any idea about what other ones goes well, please let me know. o yeah, i want them in 18's.

thanks in advance.

No chrome

Silver always seems to work, maybe gunmetal if thats your thing.


1. silver
2. gunmetal


See if you can find some pictures of your car with different rims on it, makes it easier. Search google.

good luck

For a silver car, I would get silver wheels. Getting any other color would detract from the look of the car (basically, people would only be looking at your wheels if they were any other color).

But I'd get something that has a polished lip. It add a touch of sophistacation. 18's with a mild drop and you're gravy.

You don't see a lot of folks running around with these wheels.

Silver would be my choice. Here's v6master's silver Accord with silver C5's...looks great.

Those are Volk GT-A's. I doubt you could get those wheels in 18's at about 1k. Let me see if I could find you a decent set of wheels for about 1k...

How about these;



These are look a like to the Volk CE28's. They're a little more than 1k, but they're in 18's with tires with free shipping from www.speedandstyle.com
