Looks a little gimmicky to me.

Guess I'll have to wash the FY33 today and take pictures.

Duy has 18 also, with Tein springs.

How much does it cost to repaint the wheels? If it costs somewhere near $200 then I would buy another set which the original color is black. Unless you really like the spoke style then go for it but the spokes won't be very visible anyway when they turn black.

Yea, the pioneer with navigation is pretty smooth. The new one with bluetooth should be even more interesting.

Duy knows his way around wiring. He even has a little remote for the unit on the steering wheel.

My best friend told me that my '99 T would look better with 18's than the stock 17s on there now.

I personally love the way the rims glow alomst bluish when just cleaned, thougn, and would hate to go with something more 'chromish' - and with my car being white, ricing it out with white rims is simply *not* an option. Honestly? If I could find the stock rims / look alikes in a larger size I would probably be happy with them.

The 99-01 17x7.5 Touring wheel is one of the best looking wheels period. It looks just as large as any 18" wheel (from the side of course). If I have a 99-01 Touring, I wouldn't change the wheels unless I want to go to some wide 19" or 20" wheels.

It also depends on which angle you're looking at the car. Maybe your friend was looking from the rear or the front. If so then a wider wheel would looks better because he couldn't see the spokes.
