Nice man. Don't paint them white, go either gunmetal or black (but you don't want to do that).

Post some under the hood pics, looks clean.

I'm probably going to put some black steelies on my car this july when I move so it doesn't get jacked since I'm moving into the ghetto. those wheels are worth a little more than you paid for them.

I like them the way they are, but black is boss in my mind. I got polished lip/gunmetal rotas so I say go with gunmetal. Oh yea, go to Wal*Mart and get that rim paint. If you do it right they look GOOD!!!! Seriously, I think my buddy even cleared his too, but I'm not positive. His were gunmetal to he painted them that color I mean. Looks good too. Post pics when there on homie!!! ;D

I just put the suspension in like 2 weeks ago. Havent gotten an alignment yet thats why the wheels look jacked up. Dont worry, i dont drive the car everyday. lol

No idea on #'s yet. I have to finish tuning her then take her to the dyno.

Anyone know where i can find a center cap? One wheel is missing it.

i would imagine it depends on how much camber you have. ive always had a little bit of camber and it never ate my tires up. with the camber that he has now. i doubt it'll eat up the tires.

Yep stock rods. Back when i had my motor apart nobody made rods for the JDM D15b, supposedly now they have found that some D16 rods do actually fit but my shits already together.

I think im gonna go with bronze on the wheels. Good color to go with a red car i think.
