BB4's are so hot. I'd strip the wheels and powdercoat them black...or maybe ITR gunmetal.

 

I recently got some Volk TE-37s for my 95 that were white and scratched up. I painted them gloss black and I think it looks awesome.

 

Never seen this done before!

Get them professionally done, I'd say powdercoat them gunmetal and leave the red R.

Hot dawg, that'd be off the chizzle.

Your car is hottt already

word

bah, powdercoat.. I do a good job, duplicolor paint then clear.... Im thinkin gloss black w/ polished lip... what do u think

 

powder coat em cw again.

 

fully polished would be sicc!

 

they would look perfect in my opinion

 

um flat black or leave them.....wow im from southern CT and seein that ****** snow just gave me the chills

 

please powdercoat them, they will last a lot longer/look a lot nice IMO
my vote - gunmetal like above

 

just leave them CW, but is it me or 96 itr wheels just look too small on bb4's? the fitment just doesnt look right.

 

same size as stock


i just realized i need to buy spacers damn


im strippin them asap!

 

spacers would probably do the job. the one's ive seen around their wheels didn't look flush w/ the body. but kicking it out a few mm's would make it look nice. good luck

 

yes powdercoat white and you dont need a spacer just a little grinding on the caliper. search 4x114 conversion and there are threads that will show you where to grind down so you can fit the 96R wheels on prelude rotors and calipers

 

ahh tahts alright it hink ill get some 3mm spacers.. uthink that will work?

 

polished lip





Gunmetal? Gloss black? flat black? w/ polished lip of course
