I'm afraid from far away it might kind of look like you have white walls. I saw a pic of an RSX and that's what it looked like with those on it.

that bottom of the 3. those are pretty sweet. i foudn that at tirerack.com

Outlaw, what site is that from?

I'm not Outlaw but it's from, http://www.tirerack.com/

The wheels in that third pic are almost what I have on my accord. Except mine have 7 spokes instead of 6.

Anyway, I forget who makes em, but there are some rims called Chuu's or some crap like that. Its a real goofy name, but the rims are tight work. They have9 thin black spokes with a silver machined lip. They look GREAT. Those are my second choice of rims after the ones I got now.

Somebody on this thread knows which ones I'm talkin about. I'm just drawing a big azz blank right now.:bloated:

Check out wheelmax.com, they have some killer deals on 16's and 17's, right now u can get a set of 17s with tires for $599!!!

I got a pair of my wheels pretty good deals, I have gunmetal excels they not too bad

TENZO SHU-4's!!!
That's the name!

I didn't really remember, I looked at Emerge's sig.:biggrin:

They're GREAT tho

i have shu-4's. however, they don't make those rims for the 5-lug pattern. you would be ordering the shu-10's. if you're going to get black wheels are you looking for flat black or shiny black? i think some flat black racing wheels would look HOT.

here's a pic of the difference between shu-4's and shu-10's. the shu-10's are on the left. my wheels, the shu-4's are on the right.
