I though about the sub zero's but a lot of accord guys already have them. I haven't seen many accord guys with the slipstreams yet.

I like the Royal Gun Metal. Get a photo shop done with a couple different ones if you are worried about how the slips will look.

I'll post up a better pic, and if some can photoshop them for me that would be awesome. I post one up after lunch.

if anyone would be kind enough to photoshop a few rims on my car that would be awesome. black, gun metal, and both with a polished lip. also keep in mind I've got tint since this pic was taken. its pretty dark, almost black in the rear, and pretty dark in the front.

actually I was going to get them from jbl, the rota company that offers a pretty good deal on h-t, but my local discount tire store actually beat their price by $10, all 4 17in rims for 600. they also hooked it up with a set of tires I bought recently. tires direct rules.

well I guess they rejected my order for the black lug nuts, a blessing in disguise. I guess I forgot to update some finical info when I moved out west. So I guess I'll get the chrome lugs now, so those gun metal rims with or without a polished lip are looking real nice.

IMO, slips don't belong on an accord. they look too sporty.

anyway, if it weren't on an accord i'd go with all black
