Bit too 'Bling' for my liking those - although I'd have to see them on a car to be sure though!!!

Nick · 15th May 2006, 18:34

yeh bit too bling indeed

pikkumies · 15th May 2006, 19:37

Really? i thought these we're quite down to earth

. They're not even chrome :P .

Kpow99 · 16th May 2006, 05:56

Na na na, need some spinners man

Nick · 16th May 2006, 13:12

spinners..

Kpow99 · 16th May 2006, 14:54

When in Toronto recently I saw some guy in a blue S-type jag with 20" chrome spinners, was the dogs........not ******, more like dinner

I just went for the standard ones. And the dealer offered me "2nd hand tyres" from new Accords. Cheap. So I took them.

Having a black car my choice's would be similar to the following....

But i really like these... Kie Kruze's....

All found on www.Topgear.co.uk

Matrix0507 · 2nd July 2006, 22:27

Civ Pilot, I also have a Black Civic and might be interested in some of those rims (They are SICK

) about how much would they set me back? (in USDollars please

)

These look like they'd look nice on black.

Mark996 · 2nd July 2006, 23:44

For those who don't know, 'sick' is a good thing!

Thats the second time you've hit me up for being american. Are there really not that many Americans here?

CivPilot · 4th July 2006, 06:32

Matrix,

we knew what you were talking about

Not sure the American price but to be honest you've probably got way nicer stuff out there than here. My cousin was born in Diamond Bar California (now lives in Lauderdale, FL) and I remember quite vividly going to some of the places selling rims :P

To find those I just looked at a random uk/internet based alloy wheel shop. Do the same for US based and I bet you find even better

Nadz · 4th July 2006, 08:02

I have the black civiv and I put on a set of 18" team dynamics alloys. It looks magic and I have noticed a few admiring glances more than once!

Kpow99 · 4th July 2006, 08:05

I'm getting too old.....they are sick....really sick

Blah

Mark996 · 4th July 2006, 09:01

Matrix - I have absolutely nothing against Americans at all.....I go there twice a year every year to visit my dad, and totally love the place!!!!!

Just to prove it, here's an awesome piece of 'Americana' for us to all drool over!!!!! -

Love it or loath it, it'd make you turn your head if you saw one on the road!!!!!

richierich · 4th July 2006, 09:03

Very nice looking car, shame you have to drive it staring out over that hellish looking dash. Externally a winner, internally, I'll keep the Civic.

Mark996 · 4th July 2006, 14:56

That's always been the case with American cars Rich......the interiors are, 9 times out of ten anyway, shockingly put together or thought out.......

A classic example of this is the Ford F50 Lightening.....awesome concept (pick up truck with stupid power and HUGE engine), but the inside is a complete joke of the cheapest, nastiest plastics known to mankind, assembled by presumably, the monkeys at Windsor Safari Park......

I remember seeing one being reviewed by Clarkson (who else!?) on TG, and he highlighted this point brilliantly......whilst having his shopping nicked out the back of the open-tailed truck when sat at traffic lights!!!!
