I've recently been gifted a 1989 Honda Accord SE-i. I was going to leave the paint as is to give off the Wabi-Sabi look. For those that to not know what that is, Wabisabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". I planned on getting some 15x9 wheels & lowering it on coilover sleeves, about 3 or 4 inches. I'm all for the JDM look. Anyone have any other ideas for the car? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/13/yme4yham.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/13/yvy2epym.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/13/qa6u9equ.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/13/veby8evy.jpg

if you dont fix that rust it's going to spread,look or no look, if you want to retain the look of weathered paint, maby find a hood the same color and swap it out, if you cant find a hood, clean up the rust and maby paint it a flat black or something that way it will retain the look you want, but will stop the progression of the rust, and will quickly weather

I don't think 15x9 wheels will fit. 15x8 should though. Welcome!
