paint or not to paint?





rsx type-s rims obviously, i love them but hate the center caps. any chance of ever finding matched paint for center caps to make them just plain gunmetal no logo?

if not what do these rims look like in black?

also anyone ever seen carbon fiber center caps? i think they might look decent.

just want some opinions on what to do.

p.s. taillights are only altezza's until stock ones are cleared and tinted

If the rims them self have been painted then I'm sure you can have the center caps color matched and painted as well. I don't think you'll find anything aftermarket to replace them that would look good. Everytime I see those rsx rims painted they look cheap. Sorry but the red time attack style lip looks super cheesy on your car. The red looks completely out of place.

they are factory gunmetal from an rsx. i've been working on making the red stripe look better (red corners), i just like how it looks so much that i can't get rid of it, it jsut doesnt really flow with the car.....yet (i hope)

I have some gunmetal color center caps from the JDM CL1 Euro-R wheels. The color may not be 100% identical to your rims but should be close. The H emblem is bright silver though. PM me if interested. Here is an example:
