austinxcore444 · 05-16-2008, 11:28 AM

im thinking about getting white rims
i have the nighthawk pearl black
and im not sure of how it would look
dont wanna look goofy
any body have this?
or have pics?

good luck. My OEM Si wheels are about the same color as brake dust and it annoys the shit outta me. I can only imagine what white rims will look like with brake dust on them...

I think it'll look good but will need to be kept UBER clean.

austinxcore444 · 05-16-2008, 11:37 AM

haha
im obsessive about keeping my car clean
so i know i can deal with that
what color are yours?
cause i never looked at what color came on white si's
is it just the alloy?
i thought about the "hyper black" gun metal color
i just dont like the straight black on black
and hate the black with red
but really like the black with white accents
so i really love the idea of white rims

I have a NBP Si w/OEM wheels. I was going to get aftermarket ones but then the OEM ones really grew on me. If I could afford it, I would get the type R wheels, but DAMN those are expensive. Or I would go Mugen GP but DAMN those are expensive too.

I'm just gonna stick OEM for now. But to be honest, I really like the look of white wheels on a NBP car.

I'm not a very big fan of black on black or really black on anything but white (like you said). I kinda like the bronze on black or bronze on white, and I LOVE gunmetal on black or gunmetal on white.

Since you have black, and want white rims, I say go for it. Otherwise I'd go dark gunmetal or possibly even bronze.

Good luck!

Oh and post a pic of the wheels you were thinking of getting!

Did somebody say, "White Rims"?

Don't mind if I do...

No, the first wheels are Rotas. The second car (Nomar06) has the HFPs painted Taffy White.

austinxcore444 · 05-17-2008, 05:27 PM

One of the site's sponsors (Graffixpressins) sells the centercap overlays. If I couls find some centercaps to fit my wheels, I'd buy some too.

here's my car with white 17" Ep3 Type-R wheels

austinxcore444 · 05-17-2008, 08:37 PM

dude
thank you so much
thats exactly what i was looking for

and dig the carbon fiber
im wanting my car to look a lot like that

mattsbobo · 05-17-2008, 10:57 PM

Big baller OEM wheels Element. To rich for my blood. What are they, +60 offset?

JKinATL · 05-20-2008, 01:47 PM

The stock wheel covers
on the LX and below
are close to white
but not quite...

Best to get painted white alloys
but maybe consider a shade
not as bright
as bold, stark white.

HHondaZC · 05-20-2008, 01:58 PM

depends on the color of the car IMO

soundforgenine · 05-20-2008, 01:58 PM

friend of mine has a white acura rsx with limo grade tint and white rims and it looks oh so clean! like previously mentioned you just need to keep em reaaally clean and they look great. im thinking about getting some myself. its a real nice contrast to the black tire.

Leonard1818 · 05-20-2008, 03:00 PM

I love the EP3 type R wheels but I must say I love them a tiny bit more in the gunmetal color they come in.

Don't get me wrong, the white is HOTNESS, but I've always been a fan of those in gunmetal.

Either way...
