You guys need bigger screens, haha. Thanks for the input, thats why I asked. I don't take offense, I just want black rims and I don't want to look exactly like every other VR with black rims and a red pin stripe.

If you want to be different, and not choose a style that is played out why go with the time attack color scheme? No offense to anyone with time attacks, because I do actually like them, but go to tirerack.com and you'll see that almost every cheapo brand they have is putting out time attack style wheels.

The JIC Magic wheels that I have also come in a color called Aluminite Black, which is actually a dark matte gunmetal with a chrome strip that runs behind the spokes. They are very cool looking and unique. Forum vendor Fluid Motorsports is having a crazy sale on them right now that puts them in your price range. Anyway, just a suggestion.

^Haha. I have a labtop with a 14-and-change" widescreen, so I'm pretty sure that's not the problem!

Anyways, they look really tight on that white car. SEE...they're much better once they're on something. I really like them and think they're unique. Do it already if you haven't!

i saw timeattack steelies, and being a timeattack styled wheel owner, im sad to say that its officially played out, when civics are rolling around with 14inch black steelies with red stripes you know its time to move on

that mechine finish looks wayyy better than the time attacks - like c0ld flame said, time attacks are starting to get played out - though a lot of them are still a very good choice for track, if you're going for unique - you should steer away.

i do agree with aipex8 - those JIC wheels look SICCKKKK - reminds me of the enkei rp03's but at a better price. I don't know what the dealer disounted price looks like - but if it's near a grand - that would be a steal IMO

This is another example of a useless thread!! who cares what other people think about a particular rim and how it will look on your car. 9krpmrx8 do what you want and don't rely on peoples opinion on this forum!!! At the end of the day its all about preferrence and its your money that your spending.

its a definite plus if you can get them in stock, or slightly more aggressive dimensions than stock, and a little lighter...

Thank you Jackass for your response!! Good to hear from you!! If a person has to post a thread and ask for another peoples opinion especially on a forum i considered it useless to me. It only shows that people don't have any type of direction and what they want especially when it comes to rims.

An opinion needs no justification, and definitely no argument.....

Any jackass that disturbs my mellow 'tween-holidays' mood will be banned into next year.

Seems like a lot of people are just hung-over this week.

I'll say it again - It's an opinion, get over it.

I like them and I'm pretty sure you will look unique..

I'm too cheap for rims and used my extra money to buy a s13 240sx for $500 to use as a fun beater instead of new rims and just painted mine for $40.

as far as looks goes on your vehicle .. a person should make it their own choice.. but I understand needing opinions on performance upgrades, as for which one works and ones that don't work so well.. that's what makes the feel good feeling when your done having your car look the way you want it.. and knowing you did it yourself.. and when people compliment you.. you don't need to thank anyone but yourself.. that's my opinion.. but its still your choice to make

and as for 05rex8.. if you see a useless post, your just as useless by replying to it. nothing more
