I've been looking at those wheels for a LONG damn time. The only reason I never got them was the blue center cap. I could never find an answer to see if they were available in other colors.

That...and the wheels will look great on the drivers side, they look swept forward...but on the passenger side they will look like they are swept backwards.

The center cap, and the swept problem is the only think that kept me from buying them,

Most of the "swept" design wheels have that flaw. They look great on one side of the car, but backwards on the other.

im already thinking about some other rims though, which i will most likely be buying after im done with my mild turbo install. So i will have to get rid of my chromies, since they are discontinued now. sad.gif
im sure a nice civic or integra type R will enjoy them sad.gif

They have two types of that wheel. Right and Left versions. of course you'd buy 2 of the left wheel and 2 right wheels. A friend of mine has them on her Eclipse. They look pretty sweet although I'm partial to straight-spoke rims.

I have these on my ride now:

Katana K6


I like these ones though..maybe next year:
Primax 695

if I was to get those rims it would have to be like skilspeed said,right side and left side version and get black or red cap in the center I would be sold on them. Well first I need to save some money for some rims and tires. Those rims with the MPS kit and the EVO 6 wing. and the evo cf hood from sr that about covers it.
Oh and 1.5" drop
