meh, they dont look too bad but I prefer to two tone it with my rims/calipers and body colors but thats my personal style. Most ppl think it looks very busy. Color aside those are decent low key rims and i'm not sure about the weight or cost but if you like em' go for it! you can always powder coat them later if you change your mind (about $40 a rim at my local shops)

The rims look cool - but I personally would only do it if the whites matched. Can you tell how the two will compare? Otherwise it may just look like a bad color match.

Bleh ADR is a crappy brand. If you're looking for cheap wheels, Drag make some cool looking white ones.

really? but i've been searching for awhile......i couldn't see any white rim from Drag.

p.s. seems like everyone likes the idea about white on white so far...

I had the gunmetal version of thoses rims on my eclipse. I never had a problem out of them. I also agree, I think that will look sick. Gotta drop it though, its the only way to roll.

Im preety sure the Eibach Prokit is the only ones made for our cars right now. And on the price you dont have to do them together but it should be a future mod if not done when installing the wheels. I think the lower stance makes the wheels on the coupes look even more amazing. It is the first car I have ever lowered and I dont have any complaints even with the rough roads here in WV. http://www.stillen.com/product...LTIMA
