Well. This is just a question to all h-techers. I'm told that I sorta outgrew my Riken mesh wheels. Now I still love them to death, but a thought of some new wheels has gone through my head every once in a while.






They still bling bling like the night shots. Maybe it was the 3.2 Megapixel camera not doing them justice.

Keep them?
Lose them? Replace with what?
1) Work equip 03's
2) M7's if I was a baller that won the lotto.
3) Others?????

I'm not trying to sell you on my rims, but Mugen MR5's look badass on the EF chassis. Good job on the car.

You need to keep them, but if you feel the need to rock another wheel then do so. Just keep these for those "OG" days, that is why i have 5 sets of wheels for my ef. depends on where you are going and your mood.

Keep them. I like wheels that are generational to the car. These may be a little early for your HB but the style of wheel fits the car very well. I think mesh wheels look perfect on 88-91 Civic/CRX's
