I'm kinda digging them. I agree paint the insides black, I think slamming the car down on them would make TONS of difference. I think you got a good start, can't wait to see how it looks repainted.

props for being different man, its always hard to be original.

Very nice wheels, I was looking into getting them for my 00 t/a. But my stock wheels are wider than those. And I plan on going wider in the back anyways.

If your going for more of an older TA look, then you're on a good path. I'm not a fan of them, but I can appreciate them, especially such a well kept up car. Everyone has their own tastes in wheels (and other interior and exterior mods) and it's their choice as to what mods they do. I still get crap about my fuel door and my wheels. I was going to change my fuel door to my Kandy Orange billet that was painted with the fender (the unpainted on was just for mock-up), but after all the comments, I've decided to keep it on.

The caps installed would make a HUGE difference in appearance. The 18" billets are sick but, so is the price. I completely feel your pain. LOve the 2nd gens, I have 2 myself.

Yeah, their price with center caps and lug nuts is $1195.
That's a lot more than it costs to buy the parts individually.
4 wheels: $749
4 center caps: $139
20 lug nuts: $50 (approx)
Total: $938.

I'm wondering what the extra $257 is for on the set of 4?
