Carson,
Hmm... those look familiar.....The Rims look good on your car.. I say no on the black.. and you know, you could achieve that gunmetal look if you don't clean your wheels for like 2000 miles.. j/k
I say stay with silver.. looks so clean.

I decided to stay with silver as for the "mostly stock" look. To the untrained eye my car IS stock!
Thanks for all the replies...wish I had a better camera

Here's my take on it:
Silver: Looks TOO bland. Too normal. Doesn't really stand out. It just looks TOO stock for a sports car.
Black: You will never have to worry about cleaning your wheels ever again, but I think it's overkill, too. I never liked black rims for the fact that it hides much of the beauty of the wheels themselves.
Gunmetal: Now we're talking. I'm going to eventually get gunmetal wheels, too. Gunmetal, imho, is a perfect color wheel for a silver FD. They don't scream out I'm HERE. But they stand out enough to make the car look good.

Thing is, I don't want to have a crappy powder job done...I'm still leaving them alone for now. I'm like a freakin' woman trying to decide what to do?!?!?!
RX187 - to the untrained eye...as in someone who doesn't even know what an RX-7 is. (Which I run into these people all the time.) And to these folks, my car will look stock...because the only exterior mods I have are from JDM RX-7's. So everything looks like it belongs there
Another thing I'm not sure about is the fender turn lamps that came on the efini's...do you think JDM owners wish they had our fenders without the lamps?? I can't make up my mind if I want them to add to the JDM look or not? OPINIONS???
TIA
