There is a point IMO, where there is too much black on a vehicle. The car you posted has crossed that line, I think because there isnt a chrome lip on the wheels.

Got my new tires on yesterday. Found out that my alignment was way off so now I booked one for monday. Exhaust is getting done tuesday. Then Im prob taking the car to the city, then back and start tearing it down.

I feel like I have alot of work to do, which I do. I got the cobra brake components for the rear that Im going to be putting on as well, but since that involves pulling the axles, im gonna pull the whole rear and clean it up and giver a fresh coat of paint.

 

You think gloss or flat black with a silver lip? It would be easy enough to leave a lip on these wheels.

Good luck on the rears. Biggest issue I had going bigger was getting the E brake cable to stretch a little.

 

Your E brake cable was probably a little more stretched than mine since you have a manual. Mine will prob be a bitch to stretch.

I think ive used my e brake once, and that was just to see if it worked.

 

Not a fan Matt.....


if you do, def leave a silver lip on them

 

How about a red lip to tie into the seats and brakes (yes yes, I know get off my butt and put them on)????


Silver lip (newer style wheel, but you get the idea):




Red lipped Cobra:

 

eh not a fan of colored lips. probably because there are so many hawnduhs with them on

 

Oh, didn't you know, I'm a ricer.

 

I actually like the idea of the red lip..

 

I like the chrome lip better too, a little something to offset all the black. Excited to see your cf wrapped wheels.

I got a couple things done to my car this week I've been waiting to do. Got my fog lights in, changed my oil, fresh transmission fluid, washed and cleaned it up, and got some new rims and tires. They are oem take-off 17s from a newer accord. They ride much smoother on the highway but are a little stiffer over bumps on the backroads around my house. Heres some updated pictures, first picture is from when I got the car...

New vs old rims

 

Do a silver lip Matt.

Speaking of painting wheels, I have to paint my saleens.


Looks good Shaun. Now get to cutting springs.
