I personally hate when people roll around with just there steel rims.
I would, if I drove my accord in the winter would just roll with the factory hub caps. Looks alot cleaner and sleeperish.

i've been itching to get to get a polished aluminum lip done to my TE-37s and the center painted a gunmetal... but it seems as though it's going to be a bit too pricey... unless anyone here has a painting hook-up here in the DC metro region...
