i sense a ridiculous amount of sarcasm, i don't think it was a compliment.

In all honest check with some of your local honda guys, you should be able to find a decent set of wheels for like $300. Cheap knock off wheels are a dime a dozen

if you are going to use hub caps, paint the wheels satin black, and leave the hubcaps silver so it looks new and fresh. do not degrade yourself by painting **** red. that is just tacky and poor taste. at least if its stock, they are just hubcaps, end of story.

It looks ok, for hubcaps. You need to double check your lowering job because you have a problem out back. It looks like you forgot to install the lowered springs on the rear. I dunno.
