Default Opinions on wheels

I think I know what I'm going to do, but I'm just seeing what you all think/your opinions are. Would you go with a wheel with:
1. Black spokes and a polished lip
2. Full Polish
3. Black spokes with the lip painted to match the color of the car
I'm leaning on the 3rd choice just to be really different, and I've seen this done on a few high-end cars, which came out looking really good.

I guess we'll go with the Work Meister S1s, since I think the new wheel guy deals with Work as well.

Not trying to hate, but why would you get a body kit before wheels? Isn't there a pecking order that says, wheels, then body kit so it doesn't ruin the body kit reputation by posting it with stock wheels so it doesn't look right?

Like I just said, Im not trying to hate or flame the OP, im just curious.

Who painted your car and why did they paint the wheel wells? Nice kit BTW.

1. Black spokes and a polished lip

I don't care for the wheels. I think it is the lip that I don't like. I like a deep lip but I like the smoth look. Looks good.

Whuz up Ian, Juan is loves the civic!!!

I personally like your wheels the way they are now (Gold with Polished Lip). Gold looks really hot in a Blue Z. Here's another option that would look hot as heel:

Work VSXX:

Usually you would be right, but with a widebody you have to take measurements to make sure that your wheels have the correct offsets to extend all the way to the fenders or it will look like crap, which is one of the main complaints of widebody cars.

Thank you very much for the photoshop BuffaloJoe, gives me an idea of what some wheels might actually look like.--good job too, I have no idea how to do anything like that lol. If it's not too much to ask, could you use the Meisters and paint the spokes black and the lip the same(or vaugely) color blue?

Those second VSXXs look sweet. I have to see what companies the wheel guy deals with and those might become an option.

with a kit that aggressive, you need some crazy bling on it. body color rims never look right.

idk honestly with a widebody you should go with a little more touring style rims like sf challenges or some old school bbs's those vsxx's would do good too. idk if meisters are for this car. just my opinion
