Default i would like some opinions...

sup guys, well heres my plan. i was thinkin about making my RSX my own, and adding a little bit of creativity into the mix. I love the JDM scene, however, it seems everyone on honda-tech has the ITR wheels. well, i like those, but instead, maybe buy a cheap set of CW wheels (they seem to go for less than gunmetal), and paint em NBP to match my car. maybe polish the lip... please give me your thoughts

so.. you are feeling ish about gettin the type r rims because so many people have them, but you want to pick up a set for yourself and paint them a color in which no one can tell what they are.

basically you want my rims... Enkei RSX's in Anthracite w/ polished lip.



Enkei designed the ITR rims, 5Zigen made the MK5 which was closest to them, then Enkei just came out with these maybe a year and some change ago which are more or less the same but with a lip.

thanks. and i see what you mean, the middle of my lip is polished black, you're looking all polished around. Hmmm... well the closest I've seen to the design have been the 5Zigen MK5's and Work Meisters. Good luck with the search!

first i would like to say that im totally diggin ScuDC5's car. i just got my dc5 last week and im taking things slow.

for your rims, instead of going with the itr wheels, see if you like mugen or spoon wheels, cz ive seen some dc5 with some mugen and it looks pretty good

i guess you could get the ITR rims, and see if a shop could add a lip to them..
