New look with the wheels!

I know ive been promising getting rid of the wheels and getting a new set....but its not in the budget right now...

So i decided to get some handy dandy plsatidip and see how they turned out...let me know what you think!

I also added the Acura Logo valve stem covers but you cant really see them in these pics.

Planning on doing the calipers and then maybe getting matching lugnuts to go with the calipers....any suggestions on caliper and lugnut color would be appreciated! Thanks!

they kind of look like Steve Buscemi's teeth---

i'd look into the BM for some A-specs and get them powder coated---plastidip is ok for an idea as to how your wheels would look if you painted, but i dont think they should be considered a "mod"

I agree with everyone else. Stockies would look much better.

stick with black on black on black as far as the calipers/lugs with the theme you got going on now. not a lot of contrast but black on black is hard to pull off. I think being lowered and having the rims glossy black would help a lot.

I was getting tired of the way the rims looked. so i was trying something different. Just got off the phone with one of my old friends who owns a rim shop. Im going to be trading my rims plus 200 for these....what you guys think? Im really excited for these, totally different type and look than what I have now.

Not exactly sure on the specs....I think they are the same as what I have now so I can use the same tires. 20 x 8.5

gotcha 20's are just hard to make work sometimes no matter the style of the rim ... hey for $200 and a trade can't go too wrong on seeing how the other set looks

You gotta give it some contrast, the red caliper setup sounds good!

I think the car would look great if you properly cleared out (not blacked out) the headlights and put on 07-08 tails. It would add some greatly needed contrast.

It's ironic you said this-when I first saw those wheels, I thought they looked somewhat similar to a Reventon....
