These are the center caps Im thinking of using. Let me know YES or NO

Personally, I think the blue is crashing with the black.

Assuming that you are going for the 70s theme with the wheels (based on your center caps) Maybe try a darker shade of blue, midnight blue or maybe matt blue, to bring your color ideas together, but photoshop first to see what you like first. Think Contrast and Saturation in picking your colors and look at nature for some color ideas or look at other arts.

What up MANG!... I hope i'm going to see these wheels this friday in person. I definately like the blue wheels, 100%. I love the center cap idea, not for me or my car but I think it's a great reference to a great movie. Also the HID's.... jelous. Looking good though man, looking good

I like the color of the wheels a lot! Now to tie your car in more a VTEC decal the same color as those wheels would look hot. As for the sticker on the hatch (not the window) I think that should go. Keep it clean and keep up the good work.

I'm on the fence about it, but it does match the bottom of your license plate!

I like the blue wheels, definitely makes the rims stand out from the car.

I for one would not put those center caps on my car but, if you like that style then go for it.

Wheels, hell yeah! Center caps, hell No! But I'm 36 married with child so that kind of explains my feelings on them. I love GE wheels on the GD, would rock them If I could find a set cheap enough.... And I would add one tiny little detail in the same color as the wheels to really set them off, paint the door lock knobs, that would look fan-damn-tastic

running the center caps will make you look like a tool.

I very much like the blue on the wheels. However, it would look even better if you would pick up that color in some accessories, install a racing stripe, some decals on the doors or maybe paint the mirrors the same color - that would look awesome!

The blue rims are OK, but I think the color of the wheels need to be better tied to your black car - maybe by using black center caps or adding some type of blue stripe or decal to the car. Big no on the center caps! Most people will not get the 70's theme and be offended.

I actually like the wheels. The center caps; however, are funny but will soon grow old. I like them better without the center caps.
