black and gold looks alright still!


what color you painting the car?

mkmk 06-21-2008 12:41 PM

that looks nice still,
how long did it take you to do that?...

Fast_Honda 06-21-2008 12:48 PM

Wow...thats nice. Post a D.I.Y

jesse 06-21-2008 01:43 PM

car is going flat anodized bronze
took me awhile as i was trying to strip them myself.. finally got tired of that and paid $10 each to have them sandblasted.. then i just spraybombed the lip, masked it off, spraybombed the spokes, pulled off masking, and clearcoated the whole front at once

this is the... 3th set i've fully completed doing it this way.. my winters were done same way :p

yep.. i also had a feeling someone was going to say something along those lines..

riding_young 06-22-2008 08:36 PM

The gold lip stands out pretty good!

What did you do with the old Hammerhead rims?

nautica_t YO 06-22-2008 08:45 PM

you should ask jdmcb7 to see his 4dr lol.
looks good imo..

and whats with those before and after side shots? i dont' get it.

they aren't hammerheads (basically the 14" equivalent), and they are my winter wheels

the before and after are definitely fitment...
the winters are 14x5.5 et42 i think?
the new ones are 15x7, et34 with 205/50/15 falken azenis

fills out the wheels well perfectly without having to roll fenders, even on h&r sport springs with the drop


oince i get my suspension figured out i plan to make it out to toronto for a meet sometime.. still haven't made it :/ (and by figure out suspension i'm on h&r sport, oem shocks, and i'm hearing a bit of a clinking at random times going over bumps... considering adjustable shocks and possible coilover sleeves...)

jesse 06-22-2008 11:21 PM

here was the progress of the wheels
