do it, post pics too.

I'd go with a darker rim myself black, hyper black or gunmetal.

No go. White wheels rarely look good on any car. The only car I've ever seen with white wheels that looks half way decent was a Championship White Acura Intengra Type-R.

they might look cheap to you but those wheels are light as hell and very durable. more than what i can say about the ss/sc wheels.

that has absolutely no bearing on the color of the wheel. when did i say they WERE cheap. i said they LOOK cheap. they could be pink and the durability would be the same. white wheels look cheap IMO. those wheels would look great in any shade of silver, or (once again) a bronze color.

please do not turn this into a honda vs. chevy argument by comparing that integra's wheels vs. ours.
