also, do these rims come with lug nuts? if not, where do i get the kyokugen lugs? do i have to buy a hubcentric ring or something like that? and what does 40mm offset mean?

Gunmetal on black car is the way to go! Or paint the car blue and get bronze rims, heh.

Gunmetal on a black car is hot, all the rest are shot.

Bronze. Atleast, that's what I'm getting. I'm a looser, though.

ok, so far i'm kinda leaning towards the gunmetal side, but i just wanted to ask where to get lug nuts that u need a key for. because i dont want my rims to get jacked. they dont really ahve to be fancy or expensive. can someone point me to the place to get them cheap off the net. oh and btw, how long does it take to get a set of rims shipped from machiii.net?? i think its ups ground.

gunmetal, black on black is a bad combo unless youre looking for the total dark look. i think the subzeros would look nice on the b13.

I like the look of the steel grey on that.

Remember...in Rota land: Steel Grey=Gunmetal and Gunmetal=Faint Bronze.

so in other words, will the gunmetals i have in my pic show up to my door as the color they look on the pic? i noticed the gunmetal ones off the website look sorda bronzish.

gunmetal it is. just finished ordering some 15" gunmetal slipstreams from machiii.net. Now for the wait... :(

machiii.net emailed me today saying they dont have any gunmetal slipstreams in stock. but they do have some in black. so i guess i have to get the black ones now. hmm, maybe gunmetal wasnt meant to be. now i have to wait even longer. anyone know how long ups ground takes to ship rims?
