I did not really look at them hard. I just saw the black and dismissed them as not being stock.

Well, IMO, if you are even thinking of bronze, I would look into a mesh style wheel.

If you do choose black, you should get a wheel that has something like a chrome outside ring (I don't know the technical terms, sorry). I don't dig the all black look... Needs some chrome or something else in there like the pic above.

Yes, those are SE37A's, 18x9.5 all around. That's my car. I have a slightly better pic I'll send in a few. The bronze really gives it a JDM sort of look. Silver is the other obvious choice. Anything polished looks great. Those CCW's with the black center are nice as well. Not too sold on white though...

I agree I like black on black. But se37k's are no longer being sent over here to the u.s. in black from what Rishie says. Though you may still be able to get them in japan in black.

I thought that was your car. Random that I just sent you a pm about your wheels. Do you have any pics showing the width of those 9.5s on the car?

Those are Veilside C1s... they seem to have been riveted on or something.. IMHO.. it attracts way too much attention.. and detracts from the kit and the car itself.. I thought kits were meant to blend in and be part of the car.. not APART... looks like a zipper..

I'll take some low angle stuff that shows the width of the 9.5" rim. Give me a day or two.

I like the Buddy Club P. 1 Racing II in black. Sorta hard to find an importer though....
what about finding some rims in burning black (not really a flat black, but more like black with a kind of metalic tint to it)

There was a black FD w/ Fikse wheels, black centers w/ polished lips that was probably the nicest i'd ever seen at PFS one day. if i had a black car, thats what i'd do.

Interestingly, i'd put black rims ona whitew car but not white rims on a black car. i think most white rims are hideous.

kkekeisen,
The side skirts are Mazdaspeed GTC/15th anniv., and the front nose is a FEED Type II. I also have a carbon Knightsports hood on the car that's not visible in the first photo (rear shot) but more visible in the second photo from the front.

How about the new OZ Superlaggera III's? Forged 3 piece. Custom offsets. 18 and up sizes. Very light and very strong. Gorgeous.

Just checked out the OZ's a bit and I don't think they make them for FD's...

My bad.
