What's wrong with your stock SIs?

They look better IMO.

The tires alone are probably worth at least $150

Buy them and sell them if worst comes to worst

I would paint them as you said.

yea stick with the Stock SIs,..use the 150 to powercoat them a color that would go nice with the color of your car

Well, I don't personally like those rims up at the top. I'd rather have stock SI rims or some OTHER rims.

Those rims are the stock del sol si/vtec rims :-D. I have them on my car. They aren't that bad, just the stock color. Get em powdercoated. The kid in the pic is a cool guy. I've talked to him before, he lives like a hour away from me.

I'd suggest asking this in the proper forum. This is not the appearance forum.

They are different...

They don't look half bad when powdercoated or painted black...

I have been rather hard of hearing lately, with the aid of your Twin Loop I feel I could hear a lot better enabling me to answer this question.

My suggestion is save the money for something else, I mean if you are truly interested in holding on to these wheels and getting a different look by all means go for it. If this is just to hold you over for another set of wheels I wouldn't bother unless those are some extremely quality tires on those wheels.

SHAUNTS99, how you doing long time no hear from, did you ever get all the situations worked out on your car???

i've pretty much decided that I will buy something else, I think the rims would be something different, however I really dont have the room to store my current rims.

I'm just gonna stick to buying things for my engine. thanks for the comments guys
