Default Phoenix Yellow R's on white rims....

What do you guys think of this... Everyone seems to be infatuated with seeing Phoenix Yellow Rs on dark colored rims, I am too, but am just curious as to who like the other setup and if you guys have any pics... Thanks in advance!

I am seriously considering buying JDM white ITR rims this summer. At least two cars had this setup at the expo, the pics are somewhere on the board.

Did j00 know that putting CW wheels on a PY ITR will make it faster? 'Cause we all know that CW ITRs are the fastest and by adding just a little CW g00dness to your ITR, you can add hp as well.

Rguy is also seriously considering buying an 8 yr old boy so he can join NAMBLA & openly embrace the world of man-boy love.

DON'T REMOVE THE WING!!!! It looks nasty and your removing one of the R's trademarks!! (Just my opinion)

As for the rims, I have white R rims on my car now, and prefer the gunmetal. The white are nice, but they make the car look too much like a lil hotwheels toy. The gunmetal look meaner, and you can't beat their shine when they're cleaned up.

looks pretty ugly...white wheels on yellow Rs look really bad. Yellow cars need darker wheels to offset the bright color, so things like white, chrome, and really light aluminum finishes look like crap. My Kosei K-1s looked like **** on the yellow so I had them painted black. The best wheels on yellow Rs are bronze/GM/black.

as long as it's got some JDM name attached to it, people will like it. I dont think anyone would have the ***** to slap white wheels on yellow cars if they werent offered that way in Japan. Yellow Rs + Red Recaros + White wheels = sponsored by McDonald's

i like black better on the PY ITR. I think Spoon sw388(or slipstreams) are the best choice for that car.
