But its bugging the hell out of me right now, so help me make up my mind...
Red or Black?
Also pondering whether or not to put the lip logos on (they just say OZ RACING in Red like on the actual race wheels)

Right now they're held on with lug stones. They're some damn heavy nuts. I'm getting a set of Rays (at 1/3 the weight), but just can't make up my mind if I wanna match the wheel logo or just go neutral black.
And I don't see the need to paint the calipers, just IMO, they're fine as silver.

Ahh ok. I still don't see the big deal, but then again, I have never, or know nothing about, autocrossing.

BTW I like the red.

Its called inertia. It makes things that are spinning act as if they weigh many times their own weight.
I don't have time to explain it right now, so just go look it up.
Its kinda counterproductive to put 1/2 a pound of lugnuts on a 10 lb wheel.
And the fact that I have a Civic is all the more reason to buy lighter ones. I have no torque as it is... why waste what little I have trying to turn the wheels, when I could be using it to move the car?
