I know they are photos from a cell phone,but do you think you could have maybe taken a few pics of the wheels.These seem like pics of the car.Maybe a side view of just the wheel would help.

it doesn't matter about the finish of the wheels really...if you get them for a sweet deal and you like the style of the rim buy them...then just simply take them to someone who can strip them and do just about any style color you like...polished lip and center cap and the rest gun metal...or whatever...

mmmmmm... yoko's

get the set, strip the rubbers and sell the rims to some honda owner. they dont quite look right to me..

but then again ive committed worse "rim crimes" myself... if it handles TYYYYYTE (guy!) then it doesnt matter how it looks. My supra was crying the day i put my eagles on it.. but i cant see them from the inside, so it doesnt matter.

I would but whenever a thread is made that pertains to who makes such and such wheels in 4 x 110 people are always told to search. and I've searched and found nothing regarding draglites.

Sorry but, those are ******* Honda wheels. Oh well if you like them I guess get them. You need some meshies and some chrome, and some chrome, and some meshies, and some chrome. Did I mention Meshies? Like some Old School Rikens or the retro Enkei mesh. Anyway If I havent said it yet some Meshies, and some chrome....
