I painted the calipers silver looks real clean....BUT what makes it look funny is the brand new never even been braked with Powerslot rotor up front looks funny cuz its way to shiny.

If you like the calipers painted then cool. But they're killing it for me.

I know you're being sarcastic, but, yes. They will look better, IMO.

And about the width. I would never sport 6" wheels either. That's why I passed on CTR rims. And for those who said you can't expect more from OEM rims. ITR rims, and Prelude rims are 16x7, so they're not all bad.

Well me and a friend traded wheels. I traded my stock si wheels for these. So its not like i went on a hunt to find these things. I kinda like em needed a change for a bit but i will prolly be getting a set of rota gt3s when i sell my other set of wheels i have. If i was rich i would have some works trust me.

Yeah man i know i always thought they were 16x7...But when i was cleaning the inside of the rims i saw it 16x6 and was just like wow thats wierd. Also wheels are made by enkei it says on the inside too. I have a 205 45 tire on there though.

i think they look pretty damn good. why is everyone hating on the 6inch width? its one whole inch im sure that makes a lot of difference. you still use the same size tires?

If the rim is wider you can get wider tires. More rubber on the ground is better, and yes, 1" makes a difference. If you use the same size tires on a 6" rim that you'd use on a 7" rim then you'll end up with a lot of sidewall which is ugly and sucks for handling.
