Girlfriend says I'm too old for Gold Rims... I guess I am, but a friend of mine started a business repairing/refinishing wheels so I couldn't resist.











I'll probably be selling these in January/February if all goes according to plan, so keep an eye out for them.

Yea maybe. But it's still badass.

Are you selling your car anytime soon?

Looking at an Evo... but lately the S2000 CR has been catching my eye.

Can't go wrong with white on gold, but they don't look too gold to me? They are too dull-looking IMO.

I asked for a darker gold - wanted bronze originally, but didn't want to go that dark.

they look good in person?

Yeah, I actually live in the 714 area. Currently in Huntington Beach/Costa Mesa area, but I do go to Irvine quite often to hang out with friends quite often.

What's the JDM kit? Skipper? Blaze? If, so let me see it in person

I've seen quite a few 2g TLs lately - we should have a So Cal Meet.

two sided...since the headlights r clear and everythign is basically chrome/white, i think the gold clashes with the chrome, but it still looks good

Touche fsttyms1.

My GF rolls her eyes everytime I talk about getting an Evo X or an S2000 - again saying I'm too old for those things.

But come on... I'm only 26! I can rock an Evo or an S2K... right?

Or atleast I hope so...

lol I'm 28 and I had gold rims I took off like 6 months ago. Tell your gf to keep an eye out for stock s2ks, most of them are old guys driving them. Not so much evos, with evos, its guys your age who can afford it. EVo>S2k CR. I like s2ks but the CRs are so expensive.
