BTW, the ones currently on my car in the sig are hyperblack Imperio m-05

i like your color scheme right now. so i would say hyper black. not a fan of bronze really...

[BlaqCelica]

i say u keep the gunmetal scheme. looks good. although i do think bronze does look good on red...it should be that richer bronze hue...like the Advan RG color.

it's a rather dark color.

btw, my friend kevin says thanks for the subs. sorry we just had to leave like that...kevin had to be back by home by 2 o clock.

BRONZE!!!!!

[BlaqCelica]

this is to show what bronze looks like on red.

here's my friend fred's car with the bronze FN01R-C's on his red EK Ferio. fully restored and more JDM than ever after he got his car back after it was jacked earlier this fall.

[Chiznarles]

YO! you know fred too!?! dude that guy is cool.. he knows my roommate jay, who runs www.jdmcivic.com

yeah fred's car is sweet

[BlaqCelica]

yea man...i've known fred since i was 5 yrs old. grew up together.

yea...he's come a long way with his car. it's changed soo much.

[BlaqCelica]

btw...jdmcivic.com?

yea...fred's a super moderator on that site...and also a post whore (he hates it when people call him that. :gap: )

[chico]

nice ass civic.

[selika2000]

I like the Hyperblack.

[Mistrimeat]

That red Civic is clean. I vote for the gunmetal ones.

[WillyK]

Don't get bronze because that's what I'll have on my red Celica once I get my wheels ;)

[chico]

i have gun-metal now, and i had gold before wich looks good on white, but bronze is pimp., I think i'll get bronze next time or black with a nice polished lip.

[Chiznarles]

hmm, looks like the majority is saying hyperblack.. my friends too.. i wish i could just try them both on and take pics.

[BlaqCelica]

come down to wheel warehouse in fullerton/anaheim and they will let you try them on. that's how i decided.

[Chiznarles]

OK NEW INFO!!!

The bronze 18x7.5 weigh 17.5 lbs each!

The hyperblack 18x7.5 weigh 19lbs each.. because of the 4 coats of paint on the hyperblack 1.5lbs is added to each rim..

Now knowing this.. what do you think i should get, bronze or hyperblack?

[BlaqCelica]

dang!! the paint weighs that much????!?!?! holy crap...

i don't think that 1.5 lbs will make much difference.

i think u should just go on color preference.

weight wise - bronze.

looks wise - (personally) bronze.
(majority) hyperblack.
