I think they have been a different colour in the past and have just been sprayed silver. I would probably change the colour at some point but maybe not black.

Noooo, not black centres. SOmething classy like silver or white.
But the wheels look great. Convince her.

Sadly those wheels have now sold but the search for some jdm wheels is still on. I currently looking at two sets of Volk TE37's in identical fitment aside from one set being 17's and the others are 18's. Other than that they are Staggered 7.5" et 30 fronts and 8.5" et 40 rears.

I can't decide between the two. I don't want to ruin the drivability of my car but I find the 17's currently on the car look small. Also the 18's are more expensive and I would need to buy tyres, whereas I have tyres for the 17's but they are the wrong colour and need a refurb.

I Am really struggling to decide between the two, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

What do you guys think ? Is it worth trying to talk her round ?
Hey bud,

Reading your profile thread and noticed you missed out on those Volks. I happen to notice these over in Japan going very cheap - not staggered either:

Any good for you?

I'm always looking, so I'll keep an eye out for you.

Cheers,

Rob

To be honest mate, they were cheap over here, that's kinda what attracted me to them. If my search was world wide they're probably not what I would choose. Also I kinda like the staggered fitment tbh. Thanks for the offer though, I'd always be interested to see any other special wheels you come across, I have got a few cars you know ;)

Ps there's a nice set of mirror polished MF10's on eBay. Probably to small for a lude like.

Really, green or orange you say, on my red crx ?? :puke:

Also at 17x8/9 staggered fitment, I'm thinking they might be a little big.
