My R is 00 FBP exterior. I am planning to purchase a set of JDM 16CW because is
very hard to find Gunmetal ones. I found this pic w/CW 16s and wondering what everybody thinks if it looks good with this combo or go ahead refinish these wheels to Gunmetal.

You never said anything about rims in your first post so it was a little confusing to read so you might want to edit that.

keep them white.. I think its original..

in ANY case, drive them around white and see if you like it before refinishing them right away.. no harm right?

yep!

white rims + a ton of brake dust = gunmetal-ish

can't go wrong with leaving the white ones on the car.. don't clean em and see if you like the gunmetal/gray

post pics tho!

sand them down, and spray it flat black

then take the money you saved and put them towards better tires

or something worth while that will give you better performance

IMO gunmetal looks better than white on black R's. Nice choice of JDM 16's too.
