I wish I had the guts and the resources to mess with my wheels and open up a bigger field of rim choices but in the meantime I'm stuck with the factory set up. I've considered painting them a nice glossy black, or even just "Dipping" them. Throw in some new chrome trim rings and I think they'd look pretty good. The factory finish on the factory rims is pretty cool in itself, (I like that glossy brushed aluminum look) but sadly (at least on mine) it's seen better days and I imagine it would cost quite a pretty penny to get them redone. Anyone here ever done that?
    you want to look for a paint color called argent silver, it was used on a lot of American car wheels so it's easy to find,it's the exact match to the silver Honda used on their wheels

    I think I'm one of the few here that likes the red. That dirty gold color might also look good.

    It will look wayy better with this color. The red didn't match the car color (or so my girlfriend says...)

    Re: I'm having fun with my 4x100 conversion right now

    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).

    But hay thanks guys. I love the new color a LOT. It appears dark gray under normal lighting but when you the sun hits on it, it goes bronze-ish with a lot of orange hint to it. Soooo sick!

    One lame pic for now:

    Ouch. Surprised & sorry to hear that! Most curious.
    You might want some 2nd gen Accord (or the '81- '83? prelude) hubs, they were that little bit bigger.
    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.
