i thought about gunmetal, but i thought it would be too bland. grey car, grey wheels... just too monotone. i like the asa's, but i like these too... completely different styles. kinda funny how i can get such mixed reviews on the wheels. some dont like them, some love them. bottomline, guess it only matters what i like... (and the gf... she doesnt like either )


the dark look is what i was going for. its dark, but when the car is washed, which it needs to be, its still shiny and glossy. guess i still like the sleeperish look. i had the tinted windows and black slips on my old grey car... havent grown out of the look yet.


and yes, there are quite a few papers out there. i just havent taken the time to throw them away. i dont know why the hell they're there... i dont pay for the paper. i think there are just some illiterate people littering on my driveway.

Put a red stripe around them, a lot of 3Gers have it on their Type-S wheels. It will make the wheel standout more.

i find it looks good. Paint the center cap too though.

the chrome lug nuts are alright, but if you could get colored/or black one that would be great.

yea yea i know. two reasons... first, im lazy. secondly, it attracts less attention from the authorities. i already painted the canisters and piping black, so by not cleaning the tips, it takes away the shinyness... and cops are attracted to shiny objects.

Thats the worst excuse I have ever heard. I'll give you a ticket for not cleaning a nice ride good enough. lol. You won't get pulled over for having your exhaust clean.

Sorry, I used to own a detailing business, that shit drives me nuts. haha.

Not feeling the wheels on the ride at all. You should just keep the ASA's on.....you really need to clean those exhaust cans though playa. Did you repaint your car? That grey looks alittle diff from factory.

well... damn, guess i have to clean the canisters. majority rules. and i welcome all comments, ive heard quite a few people say they like the asa's better, but regardless... they're being sold.


on a sidenote about the exhaust. i was pulled over yesterday for modified exhaust. BUT, i was not ticketed for anything. Since i installed the exhaust, i printed a page out from tanabe usa's site stating that the medalion catback was tested to be under the 95db limit at all rpm ranges. i showed the cop the print out and he let me go.

Funny how i've never seen u in town, and this town we live in isn't big at ALL. lol.

Anywho- wheels are growing on me as well. I liked the ASA's better, but these will def. work for me. I noticed that it makes your car look a lot more aggressive.

and o yea, where did u get pulled over, if u dont mind me asking..

i made a turn onto monterey rd. going away from downtown towards cochrane/ampm. i saw the cop two lights back and he caught up to me, drove beside me until the overpass and then got behind me and pulled me over. of course he asked me if i knew why he pulled me over. i told him i have no idea. he told me i had a modified exhaust... i replied, yes i do, but its legal. and then i showed him the paperwork from tanabe.

then he asked me if i had anything modified under the hood. i told him i did but that it had a carb sticker. so he looked at the intake and said ok. what he didnt notice was the xs headers... hahaha!
