Yes if i had a personal preference for solid black wheels.

It would the be the 17x7 or 17x8 Motegi TrakLite in Flat Black.

The GOOD:
#1. They look sick as hell
#2. They are light (14.3 lbs)
#3. They are Forged, which means they are VERY strong, and they will take a beating.
#4. They are wide and still fit the civic, you can put a good peice of rubber on that 8" wide wheel.

THE BAD:
#1. Actually the only thing i can think of is that they are a bit pricey for some people at around 280-300 per wheel. But if thats not a problem, then i do no think there is a better looking flat black wheel, not to mention its light, strong, and a good bargain.

Here is a picture of them, and a pic of them on a black sedan......You're Welcome!

I debated between the Black and Gunmetal Tracklites before settling on the GM for my silver Si. However, I would certainly put in a vote for the Black Motegi's! Excellent wheel.

You have some better pics of your car? I would love to see them. Currently looking for some all black rims for my car.

I think the sedan needs heavy looking wheels to make it look good what do you think?

I dont know if those will look good on the sedan IMO looks cheap on the sedan. And way too small.

rota slipstreams in flat black are real nice:

Rota torques (work emotion knockoffs) are nice too. my friend has a set of torques on his subaru and the wheels are very high quality, and cheaper than the works:

Hey thanx I didnt like the Torques. But the slipstreams where nice. I wonder what it would look like on the car. Thats the toughest part.

I just noticed they only go to 17". I think I need 18 or 19.
