Personally I'm not feeling black wheels, but that's just me (I like semi-gloss black with a nice polished dish though and bolts hehehe). I reckon it wouldn't look bad with some gloss? Or go for a gunmetal/bronze finish (ala JDM Supra RZ, or JDM Soarer limited edition
)

Repainting wheels/emblem question
For those of you who did like my wheels painted black with the silver lip thanks. I plan on repainting them again this Tuesday along with putting my suspension on. Here is my question, should I do it the same way again or paint the whole wheel black??? One more thing, I want to get some black pearl emblems for my car, but would it be better to pay 50-100 bucks for them or to remove them and paint them black myself? Thanks

hey - its not my cup of tea...since those wheels are small, that makes them look that much smaller. Maybe if they were TT wheels it would be better, I understand you are in school and stuff...but you can always cop some inexpensive wheels from ebay or SF or even here.
Good luck with your FI project. If I were you, I would get some TT wheels and focus on the engine work. Besides, when you get FI, you are going to need some footwork that can handle the power. Trust me, I know

+1 on being a senior in college. but lexusracin you got one hell of an eclectic collection yourself. i still have my tubo'd honda to keep me from beating the bageezies out of the sc but id defn rather have the money than a sweet car as of now. just remember dont do what my house-mate did, drop out and waste all your money on cars. he may be "cool" now but give us 10 years and we'll be laughing at him... just something to think about.
keep up the "honda" mods bro. high end builders still do the same stuff as them and they are a good reference for experimented parts.
