Default Thinking of painting my wheels

This thread went in yet another new direction.
spirctsae has decided to call out all Civics. (EF,EG,EK,EP)
Calling them all "Pieces of ****" .
Talking about how his low mile 2001 Prelude he bought from a dealership.
is a far more superior Honda than CIVICs, and even our beloved DC, due to the fact that it came out the plant with a factory 2 liter Honda motor.
He also claims he used to OWN a CRX, and that it was "SLOW" compared to his Prelude. We can all assume because he had nothing done to it.
Its funny how he is trying to project himself to be such an mature Honda owner just because hes making payments on a 2001 Prelude that will forever remain stock, and yet hes still playing around on online Honda Forums.
Vroooooommm!!

EF,EG,EK,EP,DA,DC OWNS YOU (or any other uncivil Prelude owner who REALLY thinks his car is better than a Civic or Integra)



Wheels look like that.

Polished like those ones. Eight inches wide like those ones.

With fender flares like these to have wheel clearance.

By the end of summer 06, The fender flares will fall off and my CRX will look like this^
Which really isn't that bad judging by the way it looks like he could be turning pretty damn hard.

Me and my gf. Taking the weekend car out for a spin.

Me wishing my girlfriend would have brought my other tires in the CRX/*****/tire hauler.
CRX is going to be running again this summer at local Auto x.
I am also painting the wheels gold.
You guys kick ***!
Thanks for any positive feedback and or wheel color opinion.
(that doesn't apply to and spirctsae)


95craphatch has retracted any off his ******* comments and is currently not a "e-tuner"

well put, i just don't care what it looks like now.
I did at first, but after driving it for a while i started to care less. Fun as hell to drive on winding back roads. Like i said through my experience so far with my car. People either LOVE IT or HATE IT. No big deal.

For deciding to be civil. (or act civil) haha

Those fenders do look rancid on anything but a track car but I have to give you credit for running that insane offset. It must stick the the road like a booger.

They are not "bolted on" i use rivits.
In fact this car is my beater/auto x car.
I bought the car wrecked and decided to bring some life to it.
I can't run 8 or 9 inch wide wheels without fender flares.
Sorry if i ruined you day.
The fenders and rear quarters needed to be cut anyways.
