Rep Power: 0 I added a few more pics, and thanks for the replies.
As for the wheels, I use them all year long. So they take a real beating. Being black and as cheap as they are, I think that they work for me. IMO, they will look a lot better when I can get a set of H&R coilovers on the car to drop it a little more.
As for autoX, Im in the philly region running STS, which is loaded with GSR's, Si's and RSX's. The car performs fairly well, but just having springs with the stock shocks hurts a little. I am also going to go with a more aggressive Bridgestone S03 tire, which should help. The RSX rear sway bar got rid of a lot of the understeer, but I think that the JDM ITR bar (22m) would help even more.
Again thanks for the comments,

Rep Power: 0 hey sicsol, i think you're ride looks tight but let me throw something out here and take my .02 for whatever it may be worth to you. Put a oem carbon fiber hood on your ride and that hood matching with your black rims will look like the ish, i mean THE ish

Rep Power: 0 For who suggested it, I do plan on going with an oem style carbon hood. I too think it will help the look of the car. As for the wheels, a lot of you gave a negative opinion, and I asked for it, but the wheels are staying. The car is going to more for go than show, and these wheels being 9lbs. lighter than the oem steelies (each) helps a lot. They also didn't put much of a dent in my wallet showing up at my door for a meager 400$. So if i slam one in a Philly pot hole, I'm not going to get too pissed. If they were spoon wheels and that happened then I would

Rep Power: 0 Only thing I would do immediately is GET RID OF THE MUDGAURDS. Those rims are badass, you just need some more go. Gude package + nitrous = 
Nice ride man, keep up the good work.
