please do not put white wheels on a GG si ....

black's an option ... personally i think the color of the hfps matches PERFECTLY ...

id say go either gunmetal .. or silver.. could also do bronze (a DARK bronze)

white regamaster evo's would look rediculous on a gg si... You should do it. IMO a black wheel would make the car look more plain, whereas a white wheel would stand out and look great.

I was quite surprised when I picked up my car from the dealer with all the HFP stuff.....it DOES match very nicely.

I'd go with a gunmetal looking rim. I think black makes it look too dull and I personally don't think white and GG would match very well.

There's been a few threads on this before... here searchy-searchy...

Rim suggestions for my GG Si

Motegi Gunmetal DP6... 17 or 18 inch variety... machined lip, if you get down like that, amazing rim on GG. 2 members here have them, and both look stunning! A tad heavy though, 21.5 lbs for the 17", 22.5 for the 18".

Whatever you do, please do not put these on your GG...

The first thing you need to figure out is what kind of design you're looking for.
Search rim threads, TireRack, and other rim sites, then go for a color.

the gunmetal looks sweet on the GG's but ive finally decided on going with maybe a hyper black or silver to make the rims stand out a bit more.

My 2 sets of wheels I've had:


(Black '06 RSX-S wheels)


(Gunmetal Buddy Club wheels)

Please don't do white. I don't care how JDM TYTE YO! it is, it's still about the ugliest combination I could think of outside of that lime green crap listed above. As far as black looking "plain," I suppose I would have to disagree with that as well. Looks a hell of a lot better than white. lol

I say anything with a polished lip and Gunmetal or Black spokes would look good.

What about a hyper black color? I haven't seen many GG's with those.
