Default A little something different.....

I just ordered some 16" Rota Grids (aka TE37 knock-offs) and subscribing to Super Street and all...I noticed that the EK Civic in the latest issue is rocking on Takata Green Volk TE37s....ok....so the wheels didnt exactly match the cars body paint, but it was HOT!!! I'm thinking about powdercoating....or whatever they do...my wheels that color, do you think it would look hot? Or just stupid on my PW xA? I tried looking on the internet for a better picture but this is the best I found. It would be different though thats for sure....

I am not sure about green. But red wheels looks hot on a white car with a CF hood. But I think you could pull of green.

the green wheels, if powdercoated and high gloss, like the pic above, looks sick on white cars, there is a white xB in a super street ad with it, it looks mad hot

I think those green ones are a limited or special edition..rare. Green and white would look cool, but I think white and bronze would look better.

yeah, owner lives in Florida.
love the car, but the Takata Green Volks are friggin amazing.
if you get the right color green, it'll look nice.

here's some other FL peeps.
green..but a TEIN green.
if you do the same green on your xA...that completes the TEIN green Scion Family!
