Get some other OEM hubcaps. These are nicer than what you have

id keep em stock, dont paint em their nice how they r, hey millz i like those wheels in ur pic, u seem to be good at pickin out wheels, y dont u give me a suggestion on some wheels
lol its just what I like, I like your old ones that got taken, the black/gold looks sick with black. My old rims were more flashy, but still simple, now I got these that are more for performance but still look good, gunmetel goes with my black windows, and you dont see to many people with them, thats pretty much how I pick em out.

yea i liked em to, i mean i hvae the 5th rim i bought in the back i was gunna use it as a spare.... so maybe i should jus get the same wheels again.... and now i have a sick alarm system and now my landlady let me park in front of the house so im not 2 worried bout em getting stolen again, but anythings possible

i have 15' steelies with hubcaps and i was wundering if there was something i could do along the likes of paintiong or new hubcaps that would make my rims look better untill i get rims in the future.
Jack your Civic up with a monster-truck sub-frame, then cut the fenders off, to better clear those 15ft rims and tires.

Seriously, I'd just rattlecan them black for the winter.

I've seen some black painted with colored stripe rim rims before and they looked pretty good.

Paint them black with a red pinstripe around the outer lip, but make sure it is very thin and discreet so that it doesn't appear to ricey
or that it looks like a pseudo-rat-rod and also complete garbage.

I remember with my truck, i had the stock 16" aluminum rims and some steel chrome 16"s and the weight difference with the 32" tall tires was very noticeable. but i liked the added offset of the chrome rims, so i used those for the wider stance.
