Default Put the "steelies" on, yo...

I put the factory 12" wheels back on yesterday and wanted to get pics. These are the first pics I've taken of the car since paint and re-installation of parts. Hope you enjoy.

does your wheel have the big round plastic piece with the H on it? the steering wheel, I have one if you need it, I think it's from that car, if it's the right one, you can have it for postage

this is why I put steelies back on my 86, I found out that geo prisms and the other clone cars have steelies,that look just like 70's Honda wheels, but in 14, I added beauty rings and Honda H center caps , and painted the wheels argent silver,which is very close to the old silver painted Honda wheels

Here are some more that I took before I got to the field shots. I didn't realize that I had the camera on a different setting so the pics aren't as ok. Also, I forgot to straighten the bumper end cap, dammit.

It's big and round, but it's rubber. And I have a couple of them. I appreciate the offer, though, dude.

ok, I always try to pass on this rare stuff to people who may need it and appreciate it. good job on the car. I wish I still had the rare factory add on AC system for that car, I don't know what happened to it, the blower actually hung under the dash, looked like a vintage air unit, but had Honda on it, with a honda AC compressor and the rest of the system

This car had the components for AC when I first got it. The compressor was cracked and so was the mounting bracket so I took it all out and tossed it and located a glove box.

Thanks, all, even you Echo, for the kind words.

ignore the ugly lug nuts, they are just being used since the wheel has to keep coming off, and they will get brand new tires. but this is the geo wheel with the H centers and beauty rings, just passing on the idea for those with 14's

Love it, I think there is a Civic around the block from me just like this, but of course not as clean. Maybe I'll buy it.

yea I know, I was passing it along for others with early cars that have 4x100 patterns, so many people want alloys, they forget how nice steelies look, these will get BF Goodrich radial TA's, with the raised white letters, they used to make tires your size with raised white letters, back in the day, on my other hard drive, I have a picture of about 20 of those in ralley trim, along with mini coopers, and other small cars of that era getting ready for a ralley
