I've had this car for about 2 months now and so far I have not been able to find a wheel color combo I like. I've tried a few different wheels and have NOT been happy with any of them.

I'd like to see some pictures of what others consider to be the best color wheel for this car.

Black? Gunmetal? Regular old Silver?

Show me what you got.

Here's a few pics of what I've tried so far and none of them really worked out well for me...…

Nice! I've been thinking about Graphite/Gunmetal.

That looks great on this color!

I think white would look great. I've been mulling over the idea of painting my stockers.

Some gunmetals for you. I think bronze or gold would look great as well.

To my eye, the Accord wheels are far and away the best looking of those pictured. Maybe it's because I'm old, but I remember when wheels on cars were universally ugly, and covered with cheapie hubcaps. Some of the wheels people are spending big money on today look only marginally better than the old black steel standard (you youngster's take a peek at a mini spare).

I like the look of most of the Civic OEM wheels.

Yellow ( absence of blue ) is the compliment of blue and looks best with blue. Copper is a low level form of yellow and would be a less emphatic selection, but nice.

I like the Accord or OEM SI rims. Good balance between elegance and sportiness.

I have an Aegean Blue hatch. I'm a bit of a stickler for matching/coordinating things, and I feel like black rims are the best match. That being said, if there's one thing that WRX drivers have proven, is that gold/copper rims look pretty good on a darker blue car. I'm very seriously considering the Fast Aristo rims, as they have a little bit of bronze as well as some gloss black. Also like the Advanti HD Hydra, but those might be a little tougher for me to get my hands on

I really like the first one, reminds me of RPF1’s. If you’re going for performance and looks, spend the extra money and get the Enkei’s. They’re light, and they hold up well.
