IDK!! You Tell

friend of mine bought his 2005 tl last year or earlier this year!! he recently installed new rims!! i told him to lower down his car and he's being a pussy lol! he has no plans as of now to do anything to the car.... i told him those rims look ugly!! what do you guys think? he never asked my opinion otherwise i would have asked you guys about some recommendations but oh well whatever he thinks is right lmao!
are those 20's? i would rather have stock rims compared to the ones below

I've seen better, I've seen worse. I feel like in order to pull off a skinny-spoked rim like that, bbk is a must.

BBK is the abbreviation for big brake kit.

Everybody has their own taste and style and I'm not feeling those wheels, but I've seen worst. He should get the windows tinted to get rid of the fish bowl look and A-spec lip kit.

Thanks man! Yes as GuitarPlayer said, bbk=big brake kit, it really changes the look of the rim/tire setup especially when a rim is skinny spoked like that.

if he likes it, thats all that matters. we all have our own tastes. there's no "right" way to mod a car.

you are 100% correct i agree with you paperboy...

i have a friend also who wants to buy this Kaminari Kit for this 2005 Honda Civic Coupe...

Truthfully... i don't like it...but he likes it so i told him "If you think it looks nice then get it...its your car everyone has a certain way of modding it.... there's no wrong way of modding a car.."

showing support as friend..thats what friends are for... rather than bashing him about the kit etc its just my opinion dont take me wrong..

anyways..it looks like this..i like the front..but not a fan of the side and rear..







sorry if im thread jacking

I think the wheels are alright, but too large for the car.

They look okay, I think they'd look a lot better without the black stripe on each spoke. They're too busy with that stripe.
