THe car looks nice but the wheels detract from the ride IMO. I think a silver lip on those c5s would change that?

Is it fast? Because if it's fast then it makes the all black wheels even 100X better. I love it. I had to settle for a polished lip because I'm slow. All black = fast.

DUHHHH because you can't see black at night!!

Haha I really don't know. A friend of mine has a Civic and it has painted black wheels on it. They look good, but when he had a stock motor in it NO ONE ever believed it was stock. I mean NOBODY. Finally I asked them, "Why do you think it's not stock...why is it a sleeper? Is it because it has black wheels?? OMG!!"

Some people are idiots.

I like that. You could probably polish the lips on the wheels to give it a little bit of contrast.

Woo, that's scary. I like it! Let me ask you a question though -- How do you like that SLP Hood (I assume its SLP)? Fitment and whatnot. I think it looks great, but I've seen plenty of photos were it looks like it barely closes and just looks awful.

Oh, and leave the rims totally black.
