I should have chucked both tires on on one side, i think it's a bit hard to imagine with both front and rear on.
I'm picking them up for reasonably cheap anyway, so i'm happy enough to try them out.
I'm pretty happy with them, I kinda like the look on the GenIII.
EDIT: thanks for your input though

Yeh it probably would look better with both rims on and the centre caps.

how cheap is reasonable?
i think that if your car was a little lower and you powdercoated them gloss white... you'd be all set!!
i like them better on the gen3 than the gen2... sorry alexxx

Bit over $1k.
But, I need new tires before winter anyway as all 4 of these are barely legal, = $800-900 just in tires, so might as well splash out a lil, get 18"s and almost new tires.
The car has been lowered already and I think i'm going to need to get the guards rolled just having it at this height.
It's pretty deceiving with only having the one rim on, that tire on there now is my dad's spare, he happen's to have a Spec-B also.

I really like them Alex - more silver blingage the better. No more of this boring standard rim stuff... PIMP IT! PIMP IT! PIMP IT!

They look much better compared to the original rims. I'd buy 'em if I were you....
And I reckon those rims suit the gen3 a little bit more than the gen2. But obviously they look best on a gen4.
I second Mark's comment on powder coating them a dark charcol, but not totally black. Would look nice, IMO

18" BBS rims would look better. The OEM rims are starting to look lame. I think the orignal BBS rims look better, you can get other BBS rims with a similar design but in 18". Lower it over the BBS' and see what you think IMO, they'd look tough with some slightly wide tyres and a little bulge over the rim (Euro styles is bland and gay)
White looks balls too. Silver or Gold FTW.

i always thought white rims on a blue car looked sex...
but i guess it's each to their own...
besides, i don't think these wheels look very good in a darker colour:
