Decisions, decisions. Need your input. Hx's or stock steelies..
They are now up for sale 
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=707948
I'm in a bind. I bought some hx's for my 93 cx hatch and painted them. Now I'm not sure if I should run them or not. They are nice and light and would jazz up the car a little
However, with my motor and turbo setup being worth 3 times the car I'm thinking about just running 14" steeelies with honda hubcaps(sleeper style). Don't know what to do 
What do you think? Thanks.

When you have turbo...and your car is a bit aggresive than stock...
then you = a target
then you = a target

Why not you bought them for a reason, plus they weight lighter and are better looking than steelies!!

The lip you can either polish after you paint or clear coat it as well. I painted the insides too, just so it would match. One can of spray paint just covered all 4 rims. I mean just
