Just won these, and i own Black s14 w/r33 nismo front bumper.

Wondering everyones opinion on the color.
Leave them white w/ red, or im thinking Gold or hyperblack or gunmetal.

NOt a fan of white wheels, but damn they are nice. They would look really nice gold with polished lip though, but its your wheels.

Damn Mike! $850 Shipped is a hell of a deal on those. Not a fan of the white... Get em powercoated any of those colors you're thinking of, that would be my top choices in order. Those should fit perfect with some rolled fenders and whatever camber, hope you have Camber Plates and RUCA's. Although I dont think those tires will fit as they dont look undersized for the wheels.

Just FYI on how flush there gonna be, take a look at these, very simular size.

EDIT: Actually, as far as color. Definitly do something darker. Glossy Black Powdercoat with the polished lip and black car it would be badass.

unless you're sure you can get a nice gold, i'd go gunmetal/polished lip. even a junk job looks pretty good...lol

i would fucking bead blast them but keep the lip polished it would so SOOOOO tight.
here's a pic of what bead blasting looks like

the pic doesn't do it justice, when you look at the texture in good light and in person in whole other experiance!

Whoa. Great deal.

The white wouldn't look too bad on a white car.

But for that great of a deal, I wouldn't care if they were neon green.

If you can get the guy to ship them with Greyhound they will save you a lot of money.

white wheels can be hot, but not on a black car...especially w/ those red centercaps:)
