    Do you like it better? I yanked mine off for about a week when I was painting my stock ones... wasn't really a fan. They look better on your car for some reason though.

    I don't mind the look of steelies on the DX because of the black bumpers.

    I think most older Japanese cars look better with steelies. I was in the process of getting some for my 3g, but...no.
