They both look terrible with the car at stock height, but the black ones look less terrible.

well, I wasn't asking about the height of the car

Anyways, as soon as I get the H22 in my 93 Hatch, I will be putting them on it.

Nice truck

Might be the lighting...but I can't see it on the car when it's painted...Is that a gloss black?

if you are going to post this in the wrong forum, why not make it count and post it in the EF one?

No, I am posting my wheels, but I only have pics of it on my EF because my EG is sitting in the air motorless waiting for the H22.

do you not know the difference between COSMETIC and PERFORMANCE mods?

exhaust = a performance mod, therefor that post belongs in EG+

painting wheels is a COSMETIC mod, meaning it belongs in the COSMETIC forum.

not too hard... is it?
