Lets see some pics of them installed.

***Janizary*** · 07-14-2006, 07:02 PM

Need to see them on the car.

SkyeHack · 07-14-2006, 07:12 PM

I won't have them installed until tommrow. Im going to get the tires put back on at 7:30 AM so I should have pictures at 9 AM. Check back.

Gosh damn those look good! you know,now that i saw those in black. I now think i should powdercoat my EX rims gunmetal, or should i do black or what? could i get spacers to push out the rims so its flush/even with the body line? now all you need is blue centercaps.

SkyeHack · 07-14-2006, 07:45 PM

i have a rallye red ex coupe with red calipers.

you think blue center caps would look good?

06CivEXJon · 07-14-2006, 08:12 PM

Hmm,would look good if you had red caps then because they would match,if you painted the calipers blue and then had blue center caps it would look good. I think blue caps should still look good, but its up to you man. Could they have blue powdercoated them? j/c the blue caps should look good on those or red.

me likes

now let's seem them on the car.

06Ex · 07-14-2006, 08:20 PM

OMG, i am debating this exact thing.

PLEASE post pics on car.

Side shot, quarter shot, and a nice profile and up close pic would be GREATLY appreciated.

larryd · 07-14-2006, 08:52 PM

The rims look decent off the car. I would NOT paint the center caps blue. Red Car + Black Rims + Blue Center Caps =

Rfresh · 07-14-2006, 09:38 PM

lets see the pix when they're on..

**atruhondagrl** · 07-14-2006, 09:50 PM

I wanna see Powder coated SI wheels. Some dude showed up at MEET 3: Ft Lee in June with spray painted wheels. The idea is good.
I think the "big daisies" look better in black.

If you can get your wheels powdercoated at a good price and it's cheaper than buying aftermarket then, by all means, go for it.

It's unique and I think the EX wheels would look great with them.

Get the black center caps with the "H" emblem for added effect.

Lol. Funny.

Also go with red or black. Blue would stick out if the car was red and the wheels were black.

Way2Short · 07-14-2006, 11:54 PM

how does one powercoat their wheels like in the picture?

06CivEXJon · 07-15-2006, 01:35 AM

Go with red caps so it matches the brakes,if you had a blue car,blue calipers and blue powdercoated rims id say go for the blue caps. In this case you have a red car,red painted calipers and go with red center caps.

aznchzexr · 07-15-2006, 01:50 AM

i would match the center caps and go black

those rims look awesome tho...i might contemplate doing my stockers in black now :)

06CivEXJon · 07-15-2006, 05:02 AM

Black centercaps with a White H.

SkyeHack · 07-15-2006, 12:04 PM

Here you guys go!

peliROJO · 07-15-2006, 12:40 PM

You've been chatching a lot of flak over your car, but keep it up. It's one of a kind. That' said, I'm SOOO glad you didn't put blue center caps on those wheels.
