Does this look good?

I have an opportunity to buy these wheels for my Type-R at a really good price. Sometimes I really like the look, other times, not so much. Just wanted some feedback. I'm thinking of purchasing them and if I change my mind, just turning them into track wheels use my OEM wheels as winters.

Like you I like/hate 'em. if the price is a really good I'd buy 'em.

The only thing I dislike is the color. White would be cool. Or even black.

They're too 'red'

^ That's what I keep thinking. However, my interior has red seats, so it might play off that nicely.

No since they are red, but if they are bronze or gold, then yes.

:S nah not a fan

IMHO there is only one car that looks good with red wheels.

i love your type r. people will kill for a type r like yours over here where i live. i had a dc5 type s before the 8 and i loved that too. i don't like those rims though. the stock ones are nicer. i can only see championship white type Rs with white rims. but that's just me.

Ricerific

They'd be cool racing wheels - easy to spot your car - but I think they're just a bit too loud for daily driving. I really do sort of like the look, it's different and it somehow works quite well...but I just think they'd be too much off the track.

They're hardly ricerific, they weight 10lbs a wheel.

Here is what they look like in white. I don't like how the white isn't the same as the white of the car.

i like them, but i only like them on old school to early 90's car. so on that intergra it looks good :) hope that answers your question. and if you get a white car i like red on them. white on white to me doesnt look good.

saturn 08-07-2007 11:37 AM

Didn't your car get stolen a while back? I must not be paying enough attention.

Anyways, I don't like the current rims since it's a different shade of white. I would have thought I would have hated the red ones if someone had told me about it, but after seeing the pics they're not too shabby at all.

Guess the final decision for me would have to be how they looked in direct sunlight.

I like the red wheels. I'd throw that on your Type R, especially given the weight.

Jedi54 08-07-2007 11:51 AM

don't do it.

It'll look like you're trying too hard to achieve that white / red theme. It'll look overdone
