Default My new EK4 wheels... tell me what you think!

I originally saw these on a yellow eg hatch that a guy was selling but he wanted $800 for them. I bought them for my white '93 hatch. I plan to polish them myself and put them on my car in the spring time. I believe they are originally off Euro spec ek4's but correct me if I'm wrong.





There are a couple of tiny nicks on them but no bends. After polish them I plan to mount 205/50/15 Falken 512's on them.

I used to have those kind of rims. And yes those are from Euro EK4.
I cant's believe that the other guy was selling it for $800.00, I got mine for $200.00 brand new (from the Philippines)

Leave the stock wheels stock, don't polish them.

I might try them out silver for while but I know I'll get bored of them on my white hatch. I was originally going to go with a different set of wheels in either black or bronze but I don't want to paint these. I'll either polish them or leave them alone. I'll prolly polish them.

EDIT: I paid 280 for them on ebay

i paid $280 and that is almost too much... if i was gonna spend 800 i'd get me something good... but this will hold me over.

there is a link somewhere on honda-tech (where i got the yellow hatch picture) where a guy was gonna think about selling his for 800.
