Default A-Spec wheels on my FG2

Yesterday I bought a set of 02-04 RSX A-Spec wheels that are powder coated bronze. These are not the ones I want ultimately, but I'll roll on them for now. Until then... please enjoy the pictures.

Before you guys say anything about the mismatched color of my center caps and the gap between the fenders and the tires. These wheels didn't come with center caps, so I'm using my OEM si center caps for now. I'll paint them later to match the wheels. As far as the gap between the fenders and my tires. I'm still waiting for the Koni Yellows to come out. So I'll probably get the ground control and koni yellows in August, September or whenever they come out.

The look will be similiar (both 10 Spoke wheels and bronze), but the weight difference is astounding

I remember seeing a picture "in the works" and have never seen an update thread.

Has it been painted? Post up a pic.

I think the wheels look great. I prefer the stock looking grill though.

I personally love how the grill looks. Different strokes for different folks. After all I'm the one driving it. I do appreciate all the compliments as well as criticisms.
