Default Rim selection :confused:

Hello..I have a 1996 Accord EX color white. I am in look for some rims but I dont know would look good on my car. I was thinking bronze or gun-metal. These are what is on my list so far:
16 inch Rota Circuit 8's in bronze
16 inch Rota Circuit 8's in gun-metal
15 inch 95 accord EX rims in gun-metal
16 inch Rota Slip-streams in gun metal
17 inch Racinghart C-7's in gun-metal
Those are what I am thinking of so far. Please respond and tell me what you think of that selection. Also, give me your thoughts. I dont think the Slip-streams would look good cuz I have never seen it on a accord. ..
I really want a leight weight wheel. Thanks.
Also, was thinking of the TE-37's in bronze. but it is kinda out of my price range thanks...

Well I like the Circuit 8's in bronze. But im not sure if they will look good in gun-metal. I also can get those rims in 16 inch for 700 dollars with nitto tires. I Also like the 95 accord EX rims in gun-metal. But i dont want to be like everyone else on this site. But I live in portland, So I would probally be the first. Do u think the slip streams would look good? thanks..

i also wanted bronze circuit 8's.. but i got a good deal on gunmetal ones. Althougth I'm not too happy with the gunmetal ones.. they are too dark. I thought they would be lighter, but i was wrong.

get bronze!

I don't think they make slips in 4x114. I've only seen it for 4x100. but i could be wrong.

I think they make the slips in 4 by 114.3(were the hell is the multply sign!) But I think i am going to go with the circuit 8's in bronze!

Also did you get the gun-metal or the darker bronze? cuz i know there is a color between the too..

I got gun metal. I don't know what the color is between bronze and gunmetal are. but my rims look like they are black from far away. the bronze would stand out alot better imo.

for tire size, don't get 205/55/16... i have that right now, and it makes ur car look like an suv. go for something smaller... although i myself am looking for the right size tires :P
