He has half a dozen paint variations to try out before he moves on to the next wheels!

Thoughts of using this for the wheel paint?

Oh and Hazwan: I agree that IS a nice color...
And I agree with Sylus as well: you should keep the polished lip!
Keeping the lip polished for sure!
I think I'm one of the few here that likes the red. That dirty gold color might also look good.
I've decided that I had enough with the stupid red.. so

Those are going to look awesome man! I like that color... looks sorta familiar. :)
they will look good but to be honest i liked the bare metal look
It will look wayy better with this color. The red didn't match the car color (or so my girlfriend says...)

Great job man! Not trying to thread jack, but I stumbled on this....don't know what their inventory is like but DAMN I wish I had some spare cash right now....

1st gen Accord rims....Mugen Rims, etc....YES PLEASE!
So I just ripped my hubs and wheel bearings apart, and I learned something tonight. If you're in USDM land, the 79-80 Prelude hubs are too small. The splines are too small and won't fit around the axle, and the hub OD (the ID for the wheel bearing) is too big. I probably should have double-checked this online at a parts site...
I also tested my '86 F1 edition calipers, and they do bolt onto the knuckle, just gotta do a little grinding on the caliper bracket.
GAAAAAAAY! So what are you going to do now? You can't use lude axle too right? (N) (N) Win at the brake though (Y) Worst case, if you couldn't find any I can always ship you a set (Y).Quote:

One lame pic for now:

edit: or earlier driveshafts & bearings as Hazwan suggests.
Not that you can count upon online parts lists.
Wheels look great Hazwan!
I liked the red too though silver wasn't dramatic enough.
I thought you were going much lighter with that teaser pic, or did you have second thoughts about that.
