I think they'll def. look sick on your car
Yes, actually they are! I traded my OEM rims straight up for 'em. Ripped the tires off and took them to a friend to get done.

Ha! Sweet ass, man.

I had those, then my old Kyowa KR228's in hyperblack (sold to a chick with silver ss/sc) then got my Axis Decades for $365 shipped off ebay. Brand new, 18x8s...

I wish I could of found some nice 17 with a wideeeee lip. But, I can't beat swapping straight up for my OEMs and getting rid of my high-rise for a low-rise!

Not to mention, powder coat only cost me $280.

I think it'll look alright. I don't give two ***** on whats in and whats not. If it looks good it looks good. Meh.

I don't like red (ironic coming from someone who owns a red car) but the job done on them looks quality and red and black generally look good together. Has potential thats for sure. Needs pics!!

It took me 2.5 years to find rims I actually liked for my car. I rocked steelies up until earlier this week.

You, know coming from, the honda scene were the crazier the better. The black eg coops rockin pink rims, etc. I own a murdered crx wit pink rims on order lol, and a yellow cobalt on black and chrome. Its nice to see a curve ball thrown in, on the american tuners.

why mess with whats good right? Honestly... if my car had come stock with proper rims and not hub caps I prolly woulda never bought aftermarket either. but seen as I had to actually buy rims I decided to go aftermarket. It was also getting to the time I needed to lose the steelies as my car gets used for my own advertising now where appearance is everything.

Maybe because it looks good?

I think these rims are ok, the powdercoat job looks nice at least. I am not a fan of the chrome lip with them though. I think the lip would look better black.
