    I didnt get them at Pepboys.... In fact I'm not even sure they're sold there. I got them from TireRack.com, and they weren't cheap either(and I didn't overpay at all). Look them up.

    No they are not. Motegi's are 17's, on Pirelli 205/45-17's

    Lol why is that? I personally love it because I thought it would be fun to announce that I wouldn't be driving an autotragic anymore, and everyone concentrated on one sentence of the first post, and then it turned into a wheel thread. Lol...Love it.

    I got a nice set of Pirelli Pzero's with them for not too much more, so I think I got a good deal. Oh, and also....I still think they'll look a lot better on the new one since it's lowered. I could be wrong, but I feel like they will. Especially if I power coat them to more of a flat black instead of a Satin Black, kind of like the color of the wheels on the Mr2 Featured in Modified recently.

    I'm no fan of black wheels, but all the same I don't abhor them. It's really the color of the car in contrast to the black that ruins this set of wheels, you go from that bright pearl* to a very shadowy wheel* set, that at a glance could've been steelies. and with that being said I voted OEM wheels

    It's always a great day when someone moves on to a manual or gets a mod they've really wanted forever. You should be happy this is the only point of debate in this thread, that means you've done most of everything else proper.....it's just those wheels man, trying to get you to see the light. The whole "blacking out" a white car....it just don't jive, IMO

    Dude I really liked how you put that. I understand the whole thing with the wheels, and I'm gonna see if I can get them powercoated a lighter shade of blac(like flat or matte or something) or something like that. I also just need to learn to be a lot more thick-skinned around here haha. So I appreciate the feedback...Thanks bro.
