I suggest polishing them. To be honest, that powdercoated color you got them in is fugly. Either polish them or if you plan on adding any carbon fiber lips/hoods/etc, maybe gunmetal with a polished lip. My $0.02.

Polish them!
I really dont like the color they are now, looks like they were going for the bronze and didnt quite get it right.
Personaly, I would rather rock your stocks...

What did you have in mind, anyway? Because for the 7th gen accords, you can't exactly go all JDM like you can with a 5th gen, unless you had a sedan and went with Inspire-style conversion. But the coupe, especially in silver, should be kept clean and classy. If those are real Volks, of course slap them on over stocks; you'll be saving tons of unsprung weight (and besides, they're Volks). And the only way to do it right in my opinion would be to keep the scheme on the silver/gunmetal/polished side. I just couldn't stand to see another riced up 7th gen.

A little off topic here, But unless your trying to shave fractions of a fraction of a second off of your quarter mile time, you will not notice any difference in the weight of your wheels. Ask around in the wheel forum.. the consensus is that ten pounds of unsprung weight is equal to 20 lbs of sprung weight.
A full tank of gas is ~110lbs... but we don't drive around on empty all the time..
the moral? buy what you like.. it really don't make a difference.
Ok, I'm done hijacking here.
