For that color I think straight polished would look best. You could get whichever wheels and just sand them back down. But of those choices, it would have to be black or gunmetal because none of those colors really complement it well.

bronze

[halxi]

Makes me miss my old coupe :(


I'd say gunmetal or gold but id personally lower the car first, and go with a 16" wheel.

[cubert]

black or gunmetal

[Rendon LX-i]

Gun metal....thats what i got...looks good.

Same, go with bronze, lower it and go with the 16's

[Joay]

Is this the same color? I found this a while ago and just found it again:

Whatever it is it looks pretty nice with polished wheels.

[markmdz89hatch]

hey that's Rob's car. Yeah that's the same. (I think. ..because if I'm not mistaken there were two burgundy's that were so close to one another, just one more purple than the other.).

As for colored wheels. ...apparently you're a HUGE fan of the GT3/DR-16.

The red (IMO) is the definite NO-NO. Red on a burgundy/maroon is going to look hanus. ...other heavily contrasting colors (blue, green, etc) are going to look just as bad.

The silver/polished/machined are going to be the most traditional and outlast any fads. The gunmetal/black/grey will also survive any fads very well (IMO) and look great.
To me, going out on a limb and doing gold might be the way I'd go for now.

As pointed out, you can always repaint them or swap them down the road when you get sick of them.

so far i have seen alot of black, and gunmetal with possible the try of a the gold and/or Bronze.. I just posted all the colors up anyway however red will be a no jsut cuz it does clash with the car pretty bad. I like black however to me black from a distance looks like nothing.. I like to be able to tell its got rims just not flashy. Yes i will be going with a 16" rim and they wont be going on till after it gets dropped however the rim purchase and suspension will be at the same time so itll be when i get the wheels anyway. as for tire im going with a 205/45/16 since thats what i have noticed more on the 16x7rims..

[ghettogeddy]

white

only way you can see what looks good is photo chop and lower it to see what it would look like.

[dacantu]

Sorry i actually meant gold in my post not bronze. The gold definitely looks cleaner and i would say would look best on your car besides maybe the polished plain look

yea i was thinking maybe gold. i mean eventually im going to repaint the car but it will be the factory color again, i dont like changing the oem colors and such.. i have gold rims on my 92 Accord and i really like the way they look but they dont have a polished lip also my 92 is rosewood brown so its still a different color. also I like the polished look only if its an oem wheel you know?.

[dacantu]

Definitely man like the Civic SI's those are pretty clean and come polished stock

[itzdave]

gunmetal ftw!

I don't know about out there in Okie, but up here we can get Si's for about 300-350 with decent tires, fat-fives for about 150-250, and sunflowers (which EVERYONE is painting gold out here) for about 300-400. All nice cheap options that should look good on the coupe (maybe with the exception of the sunflowers).

Glad to hear you're considering keeping the oem color. It can look really good if the other mods are done right (ie. Rob's car).

(Dan, don't hate me for suggesting it), but the Rota J-Mags are available in gold, polished, machined, gunmetal, etc in 16's with a polished lip. I don't think that's the case for the GT3's though. ...oh and the jmags should look minty fresh on the 3G too.

Mark I would never hate you! Although I do think it might depend on what the dealer has in stock. These guys have the gt3's in silver its not exactly polished but might as well be lol although you are right for a sec i confused the gt3s for the track Rs which come polished but i did a little search and found the gt3s in silver on this site

I'd go with the bronze wheels on that car.

[Juggalo88Accord]

You should deff go gunmetal with it. Ive seen alota cars your color ware white rims work also

[import racer]

I would go with the red or the gunmetal.

[Payshince]

bronze or gunmetal for sure

[1lowcoupe]

back to topic now.

I was also just looking at the white also.. hmm i dunno. I think it has a possibility of looking good.
I have seen the lighter red with white and i like it alot so im wondering how it would look with the darker red you know?.



pics of said cb7
here you go.. the pics were taken in phoenix arizona where im currently stationed at.. As for these painted i got em with the clear coat trashed and the rims where yellow is how faded they where so i painted them to make them look a little better.
Right now it looks a lil different. its got a different lip and projector retrofits with HID's in the fogs now.

Not bad for the wifes car eh?? :cool:

[cubert]

Not gonna lie, I dont like the color of the wheels. At the same time it seems like something that may grow on me.


I do <3 the yellow high beams....not that im biased :D

I had gold wheels on a a purple civic...so dont take my opinion to heart (bought some fat fives that were gold, didnt paint them) :lol:

[Civic Accord Honda]

DAMN! that cb looks nice!!.. are you on cb7tuner? im Dark_Accord on there :)

[dacantu]

Nice cb7 1lowcoupe, its pretty clean and I would agree as far as it wouldnt be my first choice but I feel like it could grow on me also.:thumbup: wifes car!

Also if youre in phoenix we should meet up once you and I both get our wheels and have a mini shoot. Are you at Luke AirForce Base?

[1lowcoupe]

DAMN! that cb looks nice!!.. are you on cb7tuner? im Dark_Accord on there :)

Yea man im Blackedout on cb7tuner

yea im at luke afb right now i dont leave az till december however my 88 is in Oklahoma and the wife put her stock springs back on the cb so we can ship it back to oklahoma.


Anyway. whats up with the CA lets get some more opinions

[kentwat]

Gunmetal. You wouldn't have to wash them as much as the white ones. Low maintenance is the key.

[dacantu]

I saw a civic today which was maroon and had some gold rotas so I took a picture for you. Im currently out of town but I will post the picture for you tomorrow when Im back home and have access to my computer.

sweet thanks man

[oldschoolhatch]

for those wheels gold is my favorite, but for your car i think bronze would look the best. it would go nicely with the darker red of the car.

Damn who's car is that. Looks good. And what wheels are they?

[stat1K]

[dacantu]

[Rendon LX-i]

But thats a civic......Looks good on that but on a 3rd gen....you get where im coming from......

[dacantu]

I get where youre coming from definitely but then again any brand new set of rims on a 20+ year old car wont look like they do on that civic but the color combination imo looks great. (who knows maybs its too much for a accord)

[Rendon LX-i]

Its that its to much. Its the style. and color and flow with the body. Some OEM SI's,GSR,WEBS....im the clean type of guy. i really want a set of Si's would look sexy with the si paint job. I like my gun metal motegis but idk. i love the jdm looking type of shit YO LOL.....but its up to him. His flava......

[3gmodifier]

go for the white or the bronze

[dacantu]

You know I have to agree. I think its TDurrs car the one floating around this thread looks great with the clean polished rims. Thats why im waiting for my rota jmags in polished still :)

We will see in the end once he gets his wheels what looks better lol

[1lowcoupe]

cb7 looks good, you stationed at luke?

considering those are the exact rims im getting lol.. who knows maybe black will be the only one that works with it.. i was debating white but that might be way to flashy for me.. now way on red and not much of the gunmetal fan on a red/maroon car. golds kinda eh. im to used to seeing that color now.. dunno if i want it.. bronze is played out. so well you can see im kinda in a delimma lol

Havent quite made the post requirements. Here ya go. Oh and those are awesome!

[ShyBoyCA6]

i think black or gold
the red is to lite bronze no good, white would look ok, gunmetal same as black but black is had a gloss finish which is nice with a dark red

[Rendon LX-i]

Those beamer wheels are hot as hell
