Got a 03 Type-R and im currently deciding on what wheels to buy, either Volk CE28 or Advan RGII, also im not sure about the color. Either silver or gold.

The car is otherwise orginal exept the mugen lip and grille, just slightly lowered with Spoon progressive springs. Nighthawk black pearl. Been hard to find black EP3's with these options also so i could compare it, not just imagine it in my head.

gold on black FTW!

if you get Volk's, it won't matter what color.

FAIL- Will be played out in 6 months. Just like gunmetal with a polished lip. Solid black would look good though. I would personally go with silver or a darker gold (nothing too bright).

I would get a set of VOLK TE-37's if you can afford them. (best wheel design ever)

Gold Volk CE28's would look sick on a black Type R.

It's already been played out now, ever since volk started with the red stripe there are many more wheels out there with the red stripe now.

I would go with the Volk ce28 in gold.

Well overe here noone has anything like that. I thought the red would match the type-r markings of the car. Originally sceptic towards black wheels but i thought these looked hot, and i personally think the two best designs are the CE28 and the RGII from advan. I only like the design of the TE37 when you reach 19" and the spokes goes outwards instead of laying flat and looking boring as they do from 18 and downwards. Also the weight is the same between the ce and the te's.

White is out of the question, only looks good on white and blue cars in my opinion. It screams at me when put on a black car. But thats just me. The gold paint that volk and advan uses is something i like, not to shiny, somewhat textured.
