I have many friends who have decked out cars, and when i ask them what type of rims to go with, i get very different answers. just so you know i have 96 2.5tl, i have 2 JL audio W6's in the back with a 1000 watt amp pushing and a brand new alpine deck. im working on the cold air intake as we speak and i just installed the reverse indiglo gauges from a 96-97 accord, it looks dope by the way.

Anyways my big question is do i go with Chrome, white, or silver. now i a fan of chrome, but most of my friends say to go with the silver. the rims that i like are the racing hart C2.

so if everyone can give me their insight on what they think, since we all have the same car, it will be greatly appreciated.

 

Too bad the speedometer is gonna be off from now on. Have fun with speed limits. I had to buy a whole new cluster. Big mistake.

 

I like silver by the way.

 

yea its off, but i like it and its no big deal, i usually dont use the speedo. and i have made a note to my self while i was putting them in, where 65, 45, 35, and 100 mph where.

96tl what do you think about the racing hart c2

 

I am a very big fan of chrome, i like the c2's alot , i would go with whatever you like. i have chrome now and am strongly considering silver with a polished lip , i will probably end up getting chrome but its an idea.

 

hey 96 2.5TL does your truck rattle a lot becasue of the subs?

 

because my trunck rattles like a whore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

got damn im spelling like crap, i mean "TRUNK"

 

my trunk don't really rattle that much. i got Dynamat on it. but my exhaust shield rattles like crazy. it even rattles when i close my trunk.

 

i got 2 12"s in my trunk and it rattles like a mofo...it sounds like one of those ragedy ghetto caddys you see in the hood LOL no for real, mine rattles like a mug! i need to dynamat my car but its so expensive and i dont have time to rip apart my trunk to add them on

 

i like the c2's look at my sig for a pic. what color is your car

 

oh yeah, if you plan on dropping your car...chrome it. if not, i guess silver is fine. i personally would go chrome!! its a luxury car, why go silver? silver looks good on like hondas and integs but we own TL's! LOL chrome that hoe!

 

i have a white TL. i always wanted to go the chrome way but my friends whos cars are more fixed up then mine are always suggest me not to go chrome. but i always thought my white TL would look so much better in chrome than in silver

 

IMO CHROME all the way, If you are looking for a luxury look definetly go with the chrome but if you like the sporty look go with the silver. I have a black 2.5 with chrome and it is dropped and it looks dope

 

Yeah IMO I would say do the chrome. Chrome looks good on black and white cars. So ice dem sum *****es up!!!!

 

yup chrome over here is the only way to goo... rattling in the trunk isn't a problem for me after i dapened... however just like inf4life my exhaust cover rattles.. i think imma have that little piece welded down...

 

hahahahaha, i knew i wasnt crazy when i said my car would look good in chrome.

 

my trunk dosent rattel alot , its not like you hear it , you have to be listening ,
i think its gonna rattel with the new setup but i got 2 rolls of rammat to deaden it some
i should be good

 

just to throw another option in the air for you to think about. I had c2's yeah they look dope but everyone gots them.....in hawaii there are over 4 ist gen tls w/ c2'.....the other day i took my car to a friends house and put the ssr type c next to my car........i think that they are dope=====if it was up to me i would buy ssr type c, but i am not to sure what you are into.....the middle of the rim is gunmeatal and the lip is polished......i am going to for these rims next.......

 

madgreek: what cars do your friends own?? big body luxury cars?? they got silver wheels on those? get chrome dog.. 18 or 19s...chrome it and drop it. thats the only way to pick up h*es lol jk

 

When i Chrome it and put my third 12 inch sub in there (hopefully this friday) i will show you some pictures

 

what about kronix biohazards? has anyone ever thought of those.. those are straight thug but I think I might get them... thated look funny.. white boy gettin out of a thug car

 

hahahaha, i will check them out and tell you if i like them

 

Yea those rims are way to thug for me. i would get shot if i put those on my car. lol

 

Kronix Biohazards


:yack: :yack: :yack::yack:

 

96TL,
Thats what i thought. lol

 

Yeah I really don't like those. No offense to you magiviper. Different taste I guess.

 

I just really think the car has a thug look so I'm going with it..

 

yea i have different tastes too,
hey but if you like them, then go for it.

 

I love the look of chrome rims on black or white cars. But if you live in the Midwest you know that the snow and the salt will tear those up. Unless you swap out with the stockers or winter rims, you might be able to get a couple years out of chrome. As for white rims, I think they only look good on red, white, or blue cars. Any other color and they look weird. Just my opinions...

 

Anyone in here w/ chorme wheels live where it snows? If so, any special percautions I should know about? Getting my type-S wheels chromed in a week. You insight is appreciated!
