Default Some pics of my ek hatch with crx blades. Whatchoo guys think?

Took the wheels off my crx. No rash at all, just desperatly needed some cleaning, sanding and paint. So i painted one side so far cause thats all i've had time for lol. I havent seen these wheels on too many other cars, i figured i'd try em out on my ek since i had the rex just sittin there. They've really grown on me. How do they look?
I hope they dont end up too big on here. If they are, i'll edit. Later.

Nah, it really wasn't a waste of time. Energy and time are two different things. So its either a waste of time to put them on, or a waste of energy. Or maybe in your opinion both, but your sentance is structurally incorrect. But thank you everyone for the input (both positive and negative.)

Its Duplicolor Primer/filler. Sprays on very nicely. Not too bad for filling in minor scratches, and it does provide a nice smooth base for paint.

Oh and Jim.... No centercaps in those wheels makes them look absolutely horrendous. Those wheels just need to have centercaps at all times.

They don't look too bad, but I think you fucked up when you painted them that color. Should've left them as-is.

Edit: If that brown color is just a primer and the silver is the finished product they look good

The first pics are when the wheels were all corroded and nasty. Then we stripped em, primed and painted them silver with milano red H's. So yes, the last couple pics where they're silver with red h's is the finished product.

I probably shouldve clearcoated them though. Ill get to it one day when it stops raining.

Thanks. When they were on my rex i thought they might be backwards, but actually behind the centercaps theres R's on two and L's on two. They're supposed to be that way.
