Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! gonna paint the Si's time attack style tomorrow. rough chop of what it'll more or less look like http://photos-d.ak.facebook.com/phot...45991_6732.jpg please note that i now have a CF hood with red hood pins. opinions??? |

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! what kinda fogs are they and how do they work...any difference in visibility? |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! my only advice is dont get colored lug nuts. i just really think that gaudy annodized lug nuts take away from the beauty of the rims... |

OEM ebay with yellow lamin-x. you press a button and they magically turn on. does help in heavy rain and fog. |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! Wait, you have stock rims, you cant use aftermarket lugs. They are different shapes. |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! ^^ you can still use it. IMHO i think any type of "nice lug nut" would look fruity with a stock wheel. |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! lol I agree civicsrcool(heh) I'm not really feeling the time attack style either :( |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! please dont rice your clean car by painting your stock wheels :\ |

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! i think that it'll look awesome painted time attack style :). it's gonna look sick. |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! noooooooo don't do it! :( |

NO, you cant. They are different shapes. Acorn shape as opposed to another shape..dammit i cant think about what the other shape is. I am 100% positive on this one. Oh, ya dont paint em timeattack. maybe some rota slips, but no SI's |

because, they are rice. it's simple. By the way, just because you have a million JDM wheels that you spend your life savings on doesnt mean u can talk shit. |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! yeah, it seems to me that anything now-a-days, that isnt JDM is rice to some people. it's ok i like the idea and thats all that matters :). i just got back after an hour driving around cuz every store i went to ran out of flat blacK wheel paint. gonna get them done hopefully today. |

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! all i know is i use tuner lugs for my 17s and my steelies and it works just fine |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! in for pix of the black with red sirs |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! ok wen u paint those rims time attack style i wannaa see them it'll look awesome i wanna do it to a set of 14" fast 10 spokes i just picked up. lemme know how you did it and how long it took. |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! umm..what happened to the paint man |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! did the front two today. i think im gonna redo them cuz i didnt use primer, and they only came out ok. im doing the backs tomorrow when its light out. will take pics then. |

You are so sad dude, i bet you dont have a girlfriend, a fast car, or any friends. If ignorance is bliss, you must be in paradise right now...how is it rice...go ahead explain it. I love how all of these idiots just throw the term out there, its really lost all meaning at this point. By the way, just because you have a million JDM wheels that you spend your life savings on doesnt mean u can talk shit. i don't have a girlfriend, you're right. i am divorced. i have plenty of friends, and i am building a 280whp k24 eg hatchback. everyone see's it differently, like i said, i simply stated my opinion, i didn't mean to make you sad or offend you but painting stock wheels IS rice, thats like painting your steelies, or painting hubcaps, or using aftermarket lugnuts on your oem wheels. all rice. everyone has a different interpretation of what rice is considered, this is mine. so take it how you want to take it. :) |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! Im not 100% but the aftermarket and tuner lugs are just a smaller diameter to fit inside of cast and aluminum rims... A lot of guys here run chrome lugs or rays lugs with steelies lol. I think the plain black would look good with the lugs. I didnt like the red strip though. |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! i like the red stripe, but its a pain in the ass to do, so i just painted them flat black. i just drove back to school and finished unpacking so i havent had time to take pics yet. oh btw, aftermarket leg nuts do fit. i drove about 400 miles with them on and they havent fallen off yet :tup: |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! i think they wouldve looked sweet with the red stripe.. i always thought it was like a bead tho.. on the outside of the wheel, i didnt know it was just painted on.. hey has your funding ever grown in the past year for your CBR? lol i cant tell if that number in your sig ever goes up lol |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! i drove thousands of miles with my oem wheels and tuner lugs and nothing ever happened but its pretty dangerous i guess lol |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! yeah, about the CBR fund... i started in the summer with a job... then i quit... and spent it all on beer. :lol:. im trying to get another job right now, but its kinda hard with school and the fraternity. |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! hey i go to UF, which frat are you in and do you ever go out to the car meet on thursday. if so im the silver 7th gen dropped on gunmetal sportmax rims..... soon to be the ******* with clear fogs and HIDs blinding everyone. |

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! New pics on pg 4 =) looks good but got a bit of a haze on those headlights |
Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! New pics on pg 4 =) looks sick bro, did u put any clear on it or no. U should also consider painting that silver strip on ur hood black, i think it would look better. |
