I got some enkei shurikens which I really like. I've had them ever since I bought them brand new and want to re-finish them. I think they look pretty good on my civic. No one else has these, which I like. My 94 si coupe is in the shop getting painted polished metal metallic like the new accords and can't quite decide what color to paint or chrome them. I either want them all black chrome, or painted the same color as my car with the center shuriken "star" shape machined. Right now they are silver painted with shuriken machined. Not really sure if painting the wheels the same color as my car is a good idea. What do you guys think would look good??


this is a old pic but you get the idea..

 

Personally, painting to match the car only looks good if it is white on white. That's my opinion though.

You have a 94 SI coupe? Didn't EG SI's come in a hatchback (3dr) only? (I hate to be too technical and "nit-picking", j/w)

Let us know what color you decide on!

 

I think they made some Si coupes but they're very very uncommon


I don't think they would look good the same color as your car. I wouldn't do a chrome color either. I think they would look good gunmetal.

 

thanks for the comments.. I'm from Canada if that makes a difference. Maybe they made si coupes in 94 and the US did not?

The color I am painting my car is close to a gunmetal color its the polished metal metallic like the new accords. Its a dark grey metallic color. The chrome I am looking at getting is a new spectra chrome spray on chrome technique and they can chrome them any color. Black chrome looks like a tinted chrome. They can keep on tinting it so it gets darker. If I could I would get them black chromed and star machined, that can't be done cause the rim won't be fully sealed. I either have to paint them gunmetal, machine, then clear coat. Or Fully black chrome them. I'm not really going for that bling look

 

Canadian Si=USDM EX

Really though it also equals the USDM Si too, besides that the USDM Si is a hatchback. This is because in 92-95, the USDM EX and Si had the same engine.

If we were to talk about 99-00 Si's and EX's, it would be a totally different story.
