Haha, maybe. I've never been a fan of black wheels in general really. I just don't like the fact that you can barely see them due to the colour (a bit like front-lips etc on black cars). Seems like a bit of a waste. No offence intended to anyone who owns black wheels or a black car, lol. The main thing is that you're happy with them

. Perhaps try waiting until the sun goes down a bit and then use the flash on the camera so that we can see the wheels better

Pshh I'm not a fan of white cars with silver wheels...hahaha just kidding. My whole car is dark but it looks good in my opinion although I've been wanting some white wheels. I guess it depends what car it is. I would drive an all black Mercedes while I probably wouldn't drive an all black Ford Escort. I'm saving for an S2K and I'm planning to get a white one and maybe putting silver Volks CE28N on it or something. Different strokes for different folks!

Man, I bet I can install those in 30 minutes flat hahaha. Springs and struts takes so much more longer cause you gotta assemble them while with those you just swap them out. How come it took you a month to get them? I figured they're everywhere on eBay and other online shops and they usually ship to your house in less than a week. By the way, what spring rate did you get? Take pictures of the installation. I wanna see how much smaller then are compare to the strut housing. I'm thinking of getting these if I can't come up with the money for KW coilovers. I'm tired of my Tein springs.

nice coilovers man cant wait to see what stance the car will have with those on.

PatrickGSR94 · 05-01-2010, 06:56 PM

Yea the black wheels just look like steelies to me. Wish I could find some stock hubcaps like that for my wife's 96 instead of the POS aftermarket caps on there now.

1CleanAE102 · 05-02-2010, 03:24 AM
