That paint looks great. I love that paint. I think I might have to go out and buy a bit of that.

I think the model 5's are waay too big. They make the car look like a toy. The spoon wheels go best with the car.

thats exactly what i was thinkin, but i wasnt too sure. lol.

I agree with 86 SR5. The AVS wheels might give it a better look, but you'll have to lower the car way to much. Go with the spoon wheels. Paint them gold or something :biggrin:

Take the tire's off the model 5's, And replace them with the stock civic tire's. They will look alot better.

definately use the first set of wheels or do what sk8ter in ny suggested. other than that, great work on the paint

the spoon wheels, chrome makes the car look like shit :)

:iagree:

I think it would look good to use spoon wheels and keep it black and original, paint the lug nuts a different color though. With the other wheel its too big that lowering, or even glueing the wheel straight onto the wheel wells will make the car look too tall.
But its your decision.
