Should I paint these wheels black and paint the calipers red?

 

NO, just get new wheels, it;d be a waste of your money powdercoating these.

 

Oh HELL no. "Modding by rattle can" FTL. Do not paint those wheels black.

And leave your calipers alone until youre ready to buy some better wheels.

I think I just agreed with Zumn. I must not be well.

 

indeed +1 w/yax and (dare i say it) Zumn...

 

LMAO Atilla!!!

Plus, those look like the automatic stock wheels to me. Definitely not worth it.

 

16" wheels does not mean "Automatic"

 

actually, yes it does seeing as to how the MT's can't fit those 16's due to their front rotor size.

 

If I were to buy the 18's, would they fit?

 

yes, check this out

Why would you paint garbage? Throw those away....

 

^Harsh

OP you can find some decent wheel packages on wheelsnext and tirerack and such...

 

^Harsh it be, but its true what he speaks matey! that fellow speaketh the truth (sorry just finished watching Pirates of Carribean 3)

 

No way!

 

Yes Way!

 

No, get some new wheels. Don't cheap out and buy cheap wheels also, be prepared to spend at least a grand on a decent set of wheels. If you don't have the money, start saving.

 

^werd. brands like Rota , Konig, etc that are well known (replicas) are pretty good. Stay away from the eBay brands though.

If you have the $$ go for the big dogs like Volk, Rays, Gram Lights, ssr, etc.

I have many auto-x days on my Konigs and they are fine (even though there are people that say they break within the first track day)

 

^I'm not talking so much about the structural integrity of cheaper wheels, I mean I have my first set of ebay wheels last a season of autox, and 15k of daily driving, and they are fine. It's just that when I switched to my RPF1's, I realized how much nicer the RPF1's where then the cheap ebay wheel.

 

buy my volk ce28n's

 

^nice plug

 

^^ very nice plug

Almost made me wanna buy them lol
