It's probably Emerald green like mine, but in California Emerald Green is the same as British racing green.

Lol, sorry Mike. FTI, the "in California Both greens are the same" was pure sarcasm.

^+1 and they look good.

Kosei are good choices too. Only problem I see with 16s are the tire choices. Konig Feather 16x7s are alright looking too

I got rid of some weight when I went from the nasty chrome wheels to stockers, and the car does feel sharper. I would strongly suggest staying away from heavy wheels.
