My wheels are white and have been for a while. (I love white wheels ) and OEM has never done me wrong. Mine only started to dust when it was about time for new pads. I wash my car like once every two weeks, too. 
p.s. Go OEM for white wheels. My $.02

trust me. You notice a big difference in pedal feel. They aren't squishy at all. It also has a lot to do with what pads you run. Plus, they look better!

I've had ef's for how long? Since age 15, I'm now 22. Once I graduate school I'm considering selling my crx.
Reasons:
I will be able to afford something newer, comfortably.
I've honestly grown more towards enjoying a car, not so much tinkering with the car for hours upon end. No time, no desire, no place to work, etc.
Crx I have could use a new motor, the rings are probably shot and I just don't see dropping thousands into a baller swap. I'd rather someone else take it over while it's still nice and really enjoy it.
I'm in a "i don't know where i'm moving to and my car is small as hell" mode.
So I don't know my next step. I've had people comment they'd love to buy it, ef lovers and general people alike. I'd rather pass this onto someone who cares a lot about ef's.
The y49 curse has escaped me...so far... It's a fun car, but ehh....the 07 si sedan is looking more sexy.
</TD></TR></TABLE>
I was going to buy an '07 Si sedan for the fam, but the wifey didn't want a 6sp. I'd rock one of those in a heartbeat, white with black int.

That's what I keep hearing, but on my last setup the pedal was rock hard. Even at the track, the pedal never got squishy.
-DA front spindles
-Axxis Ultimate pads
-15/16" MC w/ matching DC booster
-BG Dot4 fluid
-CRX Si rear discs
-Autozone blank rotors
-OEM brake lines
What was the rest of your brake system like? Did you install the lines along with other things, or by themselves?

Re: (ninjaek20)
Since I see there is so much interest I will break down all the spindle axle differences.
Si, Dx, DA, EX, SiR, DC non JDM ITR, RSX Base, and I'm sure a few others have the same spline count. Not sure with the civic from 92 up.
HF, STD, have the same smaller spline count.
RSX S, and JDM ITR, have a larger spline count.
Si, DX, EX, SiR, HF, and STD, knuckles are all the same geometry wise other than the SiR required a shorter tie rod end. So I am told. DAs, will change the geometry, and DCs will do it even more. I always keep it as OEM as possible and stick with EF based Knuckles.
EX, SiR, DA, DC non ITR, Have 10.3" brakes
Si, DX, HF, STD, have 9.5" brakes
ITR has 11.1"
Everyone understand now?

Yes and those are the same as USDM ITR, but only 4 lug.

Try them out and see. Or I believe there is a EX set at the local junkyard. I could score them, and ship.
