No, the iacv ate different. If you need one from a d16 pm me I have a few.

If your si wheels are scuffed up with curb rashes I would do it. If they are clean I would leave them alone. You could even get hx and fat fives that look nice painted black.

a friend of mine up the street painted his muffed up si rims like this goldish bronze.. and it just doesn't look right :/

if they're in crap shape, paint them. if they are decent, leave them alone.
