Cool rims...personally, I prefer your last set of rims...not to mention that it's much easier to clean

Yes. These are much harder to clean and all but I don't mind.
As for the double side, I like to be very different and mess with people's heads and it's virtually impossible to see all 4 rims at he same time so it's not like it will look Mitch-matched. Instead, it will give the appearance as if it's 2 different cars.

Yikes.

I think it will look mis-matched!
I dont know about you, but when i check out a baller ass ride, I check out the whole car.
I'd laugh and probably put a sticker on your window saying something to the tune of "nice mcdonalds car!"

Its virtually impossible for the eye to see all sides to determine its Mitch matched. It will be a thought in ur head but by the time u walk around to the other side, all u can go off for ur Mitch match theory, is a visual thought

What do you mean by windows? Is that a wheel terminology, or do you actually mean your windows?

I like the first rims you had best. No offense but I think your choice of rim just keeps getting worse.. And I say no to that idea of different painted sides! It's an Acura RL bro!

No offense taken. I actually liked my 1st rims the most as well. I just get tired of the same look all the time and like to switch it up.

Something like the lexus is-f stocks wheels
