Default Rims worth the price?

I am eventually going to get my car (93 civic 2 door) painted dark forest green but for now it is white

Good price or no sorry I am soooooo new to the honda civic world

Or should I just pick up some SI wheels for about the same price maybe a little more or less

I think that's a decent price for how good they look. If they are basically brand new tires on there (like he states in the CL ad), I would pay no more than $350.

Offer him $325 and hope you guy settle on a price under $350.

They would look good on a white civic, with H centercaps, but I'm not too sure if they would look good on a dark forest green car.

I think they look better unpainted but if the tires are good it's not a bad deal.

Hmmm yeah I was thinking about the paint to....

When it starts to come off (flake off im guessing) anyway to take it all off at once? So it doesnt look like complete S*** its going to be white for atleast a year so no rush on the paint.

If they dont look right I can sell them later on =P

Emailing him now thank guys

When you go, ask him what he did when he painted. Did he fill any scuffs? Did he sand the fnish, if he didn't sand too much, you could remove that black and polish the original finish back out. Graffiti remover works well.
