The first pic looks damn clean...There is nothing wrong with it..I like to keep the car "real" and anti-bling, but when it comes to bling, you are on the right bus ...Are those Rick's USDM smoked sides???I am looking into those...BTW I wanted to get those wheels in 20'' for my Accord V6

 

 

ok:

chrome is made, because people LOVED the finish of a "high polish" wheel but with high polishing the finish of the metal must be perfect because its the metal that "IS" the finish.

Chrome is so that peices of metal that are WELDED together can have a "high polish" look w/o seeing the welds.

also it is for cheap metals so they look nice..

PAINTED wheels are painted for color.. (now i agree that POWDERCOATING is better than painting and when it comes to wheels Painting is the "chroming" compared to powercoat but...its not the same

A set of High polish wheels ona S2k=fine by me.. shows the person has class

chrome=no no
(mostly because of the weight, and not so much the appearance)

thats just me

 

I agree that high polished wheel does look pretty classy, especially hre's, they make the baddest wheels that you can put on high performance sports car (S2K, Vette, 350z, M3 and they look bad ass on the new viper) but i also think a chrome wheel can look just plain awesome on any car, especially sports cars. I don't like the fact that they are heavy, but if your worried about performance you can always bolt the factory's back on. Theres nothing like seeing a new vette with 19 and 20" chromes on it, they look great and the S looks just as good with chromes. thats my opinion, sorry if you don't like it. All I know is,since I put the chrome wheels on it, I can't get out of my car with out someone telling me how good it looks, and that feels pretty good
-dp32-how bad do your tires wear at a 2.75 degree, i like the look when the wheel is cambered in slightly but i don't like having to buy new tires all the time
-jakub-those are ricks usdm smoked lenses, which match the gray plastic on the headlight housing and look really good especially on a black S

 

 

rijowysock, your Civic is very clean,

As for the Spa S... mine is Spa and I love the color, but not feeling the wheels or aero kit. But me, I like my OEM lip and wheels. Your paint on the other hand is flawless and the bumper matches nicely; to a fantastic paint job.
