Default Should I trade my wheels?

Hey guys, Im thinking of trading my old wheels from my civic(wont fit on my tib 02.gif )

Rims I will be trading:


Rims I will be getting(with good tires):


BUT, I would not be keeping those wheels stock.... I would be striping them with aircraft paint remover and polishing the hell outta the lips and painting the 'interior' black or gunmetal...sort of like this...




What do you guys think?

I like the current and the new wheels. Both look good IMO, but I'd like to suggest some drilled/slotted rotors. laugh.gif:
(group buy for RotorPros = $200 shipped)

I like the new wheels alot.. I just dont like the idea of gunmetal.. I personally hate black/gunmetal wheels, but the new wheel itself is nice..

Correction 180$Shipped tongue.gif

I like both wheels, IF I had to choose, I'd say the 2nd ones.

MK, go with the new wheels (only because they have virgin tires on them...)
