What do you think about these wheels...
I want to get new sneakers, so I figured I'd go all out and spring for 17's which means new wheels. The SilverStars are one possibility...I also like the 7 spoke TSX wheels:

The only thing I'm not sure about is the color - it's the same as my Accord...too much? Another view here:http://www.collegehillshonda.com/civ...006_wheels.htm OK...speak up!

The HFP wheels would look awesome on your car.

I've seen the HFP Civic wheels in person and they're too boy-racerish for my taste.

I think the HFP's will look sharp with that color car.

Thanks for the input guys...
Anyone else? Went to the NY Auto Show yesterday and had an up-close look at the HFP 7 spoke and the "Silver Star" (which was on a grey 06 v6-6sp coupe). I'm torn. They both look good - they each have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm concerned about the 45mm offset on the 7 spoke Civic wheels. It will move the wheel out by only 3 or 4 mm, but that means I'll have an extra 13mm on the outboard side. Gotta crawl under there and see what kind of room I have to play with. I'm also not keen on messing with the geometry - centerline of the wheel. How wide are the Silverstars? 6 1/2 or 7? I've seen conflicting info. I believe the offset on these is 55. Either way, it's gonna happen. Turanzas, H-tech springs and Konis. Finish the cosmetics with a deck lip.

I think that the coolest wheels are something similar to the new audi wheels; with an inward sweep.
