i must admit i thought they could look terriable with the cel blue but i would prefer the mr5's to look as there were ment to. the white paint is a rubbish job, just sprayed over the bolts and everything then put those red mugen stickers on them.

Also do the mr5's come with a mugen badge or sticker that sticks onto one of the spokes?
What type of bolt are they i cant tell what head is on them?
How about black mr5's with a silver or polished lip?

I would find the size and order some new allen heads in stainless, that would be sweet

im hoping to replace with oem style bolts, i think the bbs split rims use the same bolts.
i took the wheels to a local place thats know for being the best round here for wheels and he wanted £100 per wheel for black centres with polished lips so i think i willl have a go my self.

BIG *** pic warning!!! The crx is polished lip with a glossy light grey center. The hatch is the same, but not as glossy.
