My New Shoes

Hey Guys, I know this should probably be in the wheels section, but I wanted to check out your opinion first. Ok, I got some SSR Integrals in gold, but when I bought them, I was going to paint them silver. However I put them on the car to see what they look like and I am having some mixed thoughts about whether I should paint them or not? Tell me what you think?

sorry that last pic didn't show the whole thing. Here's one of the wheel compared to a cd. If you want to know the story of why they're gold, just let me know

Those gold rims looks really good on your red car. I would stick with gold just because it looks good and its semi-original (you don't see too many FDs with gold rims).

Stick with gold!

wassup

The integrals are nice but i prolly woulda went with the new Jordans if it was my choice. I heard they hold the ground better and are ligther...lol...(just kidding)

Gold/bronze wheels are always nice on a red FD. I dont see too many bronze Integrals around so i think its pretty unique. They looks hot. Silver is way to plain and polished would be ok but not unique.

I like the Bronze...Good luck!

They look ok, but silver or full polished look better with a red car...Try to find gold center caps.

If you decide you want chrome, just send them to me and i'll send you my chrome stockers. Then you won't have to deal with getting them polished or anything, and i'll pay for shipping too

Those gold rims are different and look really nice on the red FD. I don't really like that polished silver look on the red 7 though...it's just odd for some reason.

I like the gold. The polished doesnt look too bad but I think gold or gunmetal is where it's. Nice choice man

Thanks for those comments guys. I am diggin' the unique look still. Here's the tire sizes, sorry - front-225/35/ZR18, rear- 285/35/ZR18. I bought them off a guy who had an NSX (red) and bought a new 2002 and it was silver and it didn't look right, so he got some SSR Competitions. THanks guys, Keep the comments coming, I still have to make up my mind

No, the guy told me they were 9.5" in the rear and 8.5" in the front. However I think the tire is like a 10 or 10.5"
