I really like rims with a polished lip and grey/silver/black centers.
Those look good.

Those wheels are truely awesome, but unfortunately they're not off an RZ. Unless you got charged extra, I wouldn't worry about it. They look perfect to me.

The real thing.

DISCLAIMER: I like painting things... maybe a bit too much... ok, now for the post.

I'd paint the entire rim one color, ash grey or gun-metal grey or something like the inside now. I don't like rims that mix colors with chrome... just my opinion, otherwise, I'm jealoius!

Those are kouki RZ wheels, he got the RZ wheels that have the older USDM style front bumper(zenki).


Told you bitch!!!! I knew you would like them dumbass! Time for some spacers!

PS- get some koni yellows and turbo II lip and you're good to go.
