Didn't HT cut the issues down to like 6 a year?

A few years ago it was called rice... But Im sure there was a nice little honda in a hot magazine with some colored wheels or some douche on Honda Tech that did it.. and the rest is history.

This was back in 01 - I was a ricer - and you would maybe see a hand full of people with "black" Or "Gunmetal" wheels on there hondas back in those days..

^ What kind of engine did you have in it?

[yerrow]

i don't mind aftermarket wheels in any color...but the worst is stock wheels painted wild colors

lol. without going cheaply custom, only way to stand out is to buy some expensive shit that nobody else has. id like some volk ce28n or ssr wheels for the s2k, but thats pushin 2k before i even get tires.

if i do anything with wheels, probably just paint them black to match everything else. i dont hate the stock wheel. i dont even mind it being silver since everyone else does black/bronze, etc.

I've always dreamed of having black on black on black. I'm going to keep my wheels stock and just powder coat them flat black... on my 330i. Is that cheesy?

if you got the cash, its your ride, do as you please

Shit, I painted some wheels I had on my Miata gold back in 01 when there weren't that many people running around with gold (and by gold, I mean like the STi gold...not ghetto gold). Then I did the red GT3s on my car (which was pearl white) in early 03 before that got all popular.

It's all about makign the car look "right". Normally I don't care for the black/polished lip, but I have a set that looks "right" with the car...but I constantly see shit on thoer cars that looks like ass.

As long as the wheel (& tire) has the "right" fitment then sometimes the style and color doesn't matter...as long as it doesn't clash with the scheme of the car anyways. Your black/polished lips wheels fit perfect on the Miata!

I've been painting wheels black since '94 lol! Not just on go-karts or the spokes black on bicycles either lol! I was around 14 or 15 when I painted the white wheels on our '69 Chevy dually black. Also painted one un-prepped stock wheel on my Z32 300zx graphite in '99 or 00 just to see how it would look then wiped it all off because I just wanted to get different wheels instead lol! I wanted O.Z. Mito Modulars with a graphite center and polished lip on my dark blue z32 so bad...yeah that never happened lol!
