Hey guys thanks for all opinions. I am running 18x9.5 18x10/ Tires 245/40/18 265/40/18
30 offset all around
I am going to do a lil more exterior work such as lowering it, spacers, paint the outer lip black on the wheels, and paint the door handle and all emblems black to make it go with the black white and green theme.
More suggestion and advice appreciated.

If you paint the outer lip black your 18s will look like 16s. Black will recede while green will advance. Look up color theory to understand what I'm talking about.

Right now, without the rest of the work to the car to make it equally aggressive (drop, aero, etc), it isn't my particular taste.

But that's not what matters. Enjoy it, have fun with it, and do what you like. I saw cars 2 years ago that I thought looked bad and now I see those same cars as a finished project, and I can appreciate that the owner had a vision and followed through with it. Most of us can't afford to hand our car off to a shop with the cash and a list of the parts for our completed vision just to pick it up in a few months. (Nor would I want to give up enjoying the process of modding my car over time.)

Anyways, good luck OP!

Like most everyone else said, it can be pulled off once you finish.... until then, watch out for raccoons taking shelter in your wheel gaps, yikes!!

I definitely see the point about turning the car into a more aggressive and less *stock* looking like. Im slowly continuing this project and as summer is coming around the corner, there will be more work done to it. And I can see your point mr sparco, I think you could be right so I mite color the outer lip white instead or maybe just leave it alone.

I think most everyone can agree that you could "convince" someone with those wheels if you approach it right. I've seen some mods that I would never put on the Z but seen some pictures of people pulling it off real good and it makes me think twice about it.

the wheels are fine but there's too much color clashes (orange sidemarkers & turn signals look bad with the green)

also, car is too stock to pull of such an intense color
perhaps you can learn from this:

I keep staring at those wheels trying to see if they'll grow on me, but no. It's not even a matter of taste for me - they just seem like they dont belong.

Please put stock wheels on until you make the car worthy of such aggressive color....
Sorry, but to me thats just not something I'd want to drive out on the street on, not lowered, make it look like a riced out civic.

Although I agree with some posts, as finished project lots of cars look amazing, but then, you don't want to drive around for 2 years looking like this if you aren't planning to do those serious to it like lets say "this week".

Again if you like this, no one can change your mind, but you should wait till you have all the parts to make it look like a done project and then put rims on as the last thing, until then, IMO, you should have gotten something that'll compliment your car's look, instead of making the rims stand out as the only upgrade you've done.
