Fair enough, like I said, just an idea. But thanks for reading and responding though.

As for those wheels on my SS.....c'mon Jack, you know I'm already on my 2nd set of aftermarket wheels (I had 18" Enkei WDMs before my 19"s), and I have an '07, lol. I think i've already been as big of a wheel ***** as I wanna be. Plus, my roomate has an '06 STI, so I'm sick of the whole gold on white thing as I see it every day on his car. (He's still rocking the stock 17" gold STI wheels)

So then you guys think the hyper black would go OK with what I'm trying to do? I like the mesh but I'm thinkin they're gonna be a double BITCH to keep clean!

Well thats that! The wife likes the second ones and has signed off on the OK to buy them. Looks like these are the winners.



I'll let you guys know when I get them OR if I can get the knock offs from Pep Boys in the correct lug pattern I'll save some money with them.

Nice choice! If I had a better pic or just had some better skills, I'd photochop 'em on your car.

sweet, Axis ftw! I think hyperblack will look just find with your car. Hyperblack is just silver with a blank tint to it......kinda like wheels with alot of brake dust on them....just brake dust arranged nicely and neatly providing a nice tint.....lol.

As for mesh wheels, they are indeed a bitch to keep clean. I had two different sets of mesh wheels on my 2nd gen RX-7 back when I owned it.....both equally a bitch to keep clean.

I have to check in the AM with Pep Boys. Th eknock offs they sell (Primex wheels #502) comes in hyper silver and they cost waaaaaaay less then Gravana's do. As long as they have our goofy ass lug patterns then I'm getting them!
