LOL

 

I think it would look good. Why not plastidip 2 to see how the black looks. If you like it then powder coat it (if you want the gloss look) or just leave the plastidip on.

 

Or even better, try Plasti-Dip it on just one side. Then you can compare side to side first!

 

Good idea, I'll be sure to pick up some plasti-dip and post some pics when i get a chance.

 

lol...yeah that's what I meant when I said Plasti-dip 2 wheels. No point in doing all 4 if you don't like the look.

I just did this on my Mini yesterday and I like the look of the black wheels.

 

I really liked the change when I had mine done.

Wow, that looks great! Thanks for the pics

Most of the time PC work costs $250-$400 per set of wheels. For that kind of money you could put it towards some aftermarket wheels. The stock wheels are HEAVY, have crappy offsets and lack notable width.

I would do whatever you can to get off stock wheels. Plus outside a select 2 stock wheels, the rest are pretty unattractive.

^Reminds me a of the new Koenigsegg Agera-R wheel that creates real down force.. i wonder if these do too.

 

:P

 

That's pretty neat. I don't think I've ever seen a Honda with wheels that small...

 

You're absolutely sure these are rotating in the correct direction?

Looks backward to me.

Cheers... M

 

Had them on since last Sept. and that's how tirerack sent them w/ tires mounted and marked.
They can look weird if you stare at 'em.

 

I don't think those are directional wheels. I know there are some of the slanted spoke wheels that are directional but I don't think the enkei's are (assuming you guys are referring to the wheels not the tires since the tread is tough to see and from what I can see looks as if they're going the right way).

 

The tires are directional and on correct. The wheels are not directional as you state xstart. If you look at the wheels long enough they are almost like an illusion.
FYI. I've got a spare as well that's is set up with a passenger side directional tire as well which I was concerned about but talked with tirerack and after some research even a directional tire can be used on the opposite side of the vehicle without danger. It's just better than no spare at all.
PS - still waiting on my Megan's also.

 

New summer wheels - ASA AR3's; Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports. Haven't decided whether these are keepers yet...

 

^^^I think they are a perfect match for your car setup. Very classy.

 

First try with Bronze PlastiDip Metallizer.. loving the look, I didn't do such a great job applying though.. I'll have to do it again some day, at least these are just my auto-x fronts, if I ever go with my DD set, I'll definitely have them powdercoated..

 

Found these while searching around, anyone know if they'll fit on a R53?
