Default civic rims.... ALL BLACK... OR black polished lip?

well what it says...
only posted here cause only spot i can find to post poll.LOL

well this winter ill be saven up for some new rims for my civic, definatly gonna be 17s... i know that much!!!! gonna use my current tires cause they are new!

and well i definatly want black rims for sure....
BUT not sure if i want to do all black or polished lip....


ive been seeing some civics these last few weeks around town with all black rims and a drop and those have looked realy good!!!! only thing i didnt like was the 5spoke rim design.... i like more of a bunch of multispoke design... BUT wire rims is to many just to beat some people from posting.LOL

im kinda split between the two....

the total black is a nice... but so is the slight complement of some chrome.....

i was aiming for polished lip BUT ive seen afew total black rims which looked preaty good! but havent seen any polished lip rims on any tho

I have spent hours and hours getting all the damn chrome off of my car, so I am bias. I really dont like chrome unless it is on an old car.

Looking at your car I would say go with some painted ((high gloss black)) rims. BTW, I like your car. Very Clean!!!

im trying to keep the civic preaty clean!
want to customize my grill... front lip kit.... painted side skirts... and now some black projector headlights.... and some HIDs and maybe even a retro fit HID in them....
and tinting the rear tail lights.

nothing outragous!!!!!!

I think you should go black with a lip... all black makes the car look incomplete and dirty.

solid black makes your tires look dirty
