Should I polish the lip on my wheels or not? VOTE!

soo...should i polish the lip on my wheels or no?

The all black look is stealthy and clean. A polished lip detracts from the whole look of the car.

x2

no. maybe if it was a different set of rims but not those.

i dunno, i kinda like it, im actually looking into getting some Rota Flights black with a polished lip

agreed. they would look BAD with a shiny lip.

polish lip is so 2003

LOL So what's in fashion now? Bronze/gold/black?

time attack

That's what's in "style" now, but personally, I prefer a car to be black with bronze wheels, white with bronze or gunmetal, or blue with bronze wheels. Maybe the time attack style (black w/ red lip) on a white car. Maybe.

And BTW, Rolla95, if you polish the lip on those wheels, I'll bite your torso and give you a disease.
(see if you can figure out where that line came from).

I'd leave them all black. I personally like a polished lip on a lighter colored wheel (ie. gold or silver) - but for it to work on a black or dark colored wheel, has to be different design, like a mesh style or certain split spoke designs. With a cleaner, heavy spoke design - like you wheel, less is more.

I've got bronze wheels on my white 8th gen but I wish I had gotten black. I'd rather reserve bronze and gold for Subaru's.

More cars than just Subies look good w/ gold/bronze, ya know.



:drool:


BTW, nobody knows where my quote came from?

yea, u should get a different set of wheels to polish...not those...they look better all black like they are right now.

Aqua Team Hunger Force FTW!!

lol... i dont see a lip to polish

but if i were you id just keep them all the same finish.

+1 Time attacks are hawt!

ok, so i did it...but thier not done, gonna be a special surprise for them:-D

thats a clean ass civic hatch man, im jealous.

thanks bro! ill have more pics on sunday...im autocrossing it...so it should be fun

the wheels will hopefully be done this weekend also, and ill have a new pic

i like ur car...im jealous.

no one in denver area has a civic hatch that clean. at least i havent seen any yet

why polish it? just go get a set of 17" black deep dish 6 spokers with a chrome lip

i hate anything bigger than 15"...lol, but ur right on the black with a polished lip part, lol

besides, i dont think 17s would be good for auto-x, lol

Exactly. 16"+ on a compact car is just wasted rotational energy and extra unsprung weight. Unless the car has high horsepower, 15's are perfect.

Bitches hatin on my 16" polished lips!

16's aren't that bad. You have low profile tires so it's still close to stock. 17's however are like the dark side to me. You have a really clean set that actually makes it look smaller than it really is. I couldn't tell that they were 16's.

ur 16's look sweet. im only going 17's cos i'v got heaps of space in the arch's. probly run potenza g3's on em'
cos i'v got those on my AE82 twinky and im pretty happy with em'
