PD Boy Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Okay I know this is a Legacy forum and I once was obsessed with this cars and will hopefully get one one day . But until then I am stuck with my Civic, and frankly I am happy with it but it needs a makeover. I was hoping I could get your un-biased opinion about these two sets of wheels I am considering. The wheels I am currently rolling on are factory Honda wheels that I just got not too long ago, but I think I want a new look (you know how it is.. ) So these are the two choices I have narrowed it down to: How my car looks now: http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/3118/civic001aa9.jpg Option 1: Gunmetal with polished lip http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/9083/civic001xzz7.jpg Option 2: Hyper Silver Finish http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/3858/civic001x2uy3.jpg Or Option 3: Keep it the way it is. Factory Honda wheels. Thanks for any input! And please no flaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PD Boy Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 powdercoat the stockers Kind of like this? http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3476/civic001x3wv2.jpg That does look kind of different, and would be a hell of a lot cheaper to do too. Thanks for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Agreed. Stockers look fine to me. If I were to get wheels, though, I'd get some bronze ones. Maybe Spoon/Mugen. But those are $$. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.anderson Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Factory is not that bad. The Hyper Silvers look really nice but is it worth all the money since they look similar to the stock wheels and the stock wheels don't look all that bad.

Scooter Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Stockers FTW! They look good on the car, so I say keep it as-is and put the money in the bank. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. In other words: SEARCH before you post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockerGT Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 ShockerGT is in the same boat!! He's independently wealthy though & has had 2 new Legacy's over the past 2 years....... It's all yours and Boon's faults too. If I had never seen your cars, I would have never got rid of the i for a GT. Anyway, I'd keep the stockers you have, they look better than the others IMO.

PD Boy Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 what year? i know someone that goes there. and i would powdercoat the stockers. Senoir Is that person male or female ? Thanks to everyone for their responses. I think I might very well paint them a darker color, and thanks to the one who suggested it. If I were to ask the opinion of Honda owners they would have been like "YEA MANG, GET SOME VOLKS ON THAT BIATCH!!!" Luckily for me Legacy owners seem a little more mature and smart with their money, thanks for the reality check :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Those are nice stockers. I wish I could find some handsome split-sevens for the Legacy, that are radiused all the way to the wheel rim, rather than having a reverse curve for a faux-lip. (that is why OE wheels look "classier" than most aftermarkets, but most OEs are nearly or drastically undersized for their application, but also usually heavy for their size, compared to aftermarket.) Those don't look all that small for a civic, though, which is good. If those wheels were 17 or 18", were at least 7.5 inches wide, and had the proper offset and 5x100 bolt pattern, I would be looking for some for my Legacy. Vote for powdercoating, or painting the stockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostsr20 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Keep the stockers. Paint them if you want a different look but I like it the way it is. Honda really stepped it up with its oem wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PD Boy Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 LOL!! Um...no... Maybe if I was 16 I would do any of those... I just bought some wheel paint and supplies. I'll post up some pics for you all when I'm done. If it doesn't come out the way I like I'll just fork over the money to get them powdercoated like suggested.
