Default Wagovan on Spoon SW388s, and Soon to be Mounted Matte Black Black Racing Wheels...

This isn't really intended to be a multi-page "I've got the hottest wagon with the best photo shoot" type topic, so please keep that in mind.

I'm simply posting a few quick non-planned snaps I took of my Wagovan with it's current, and temporary, Spoon SW388 wheels. I stole these from my silver EG while my Black Racing 3-piece wheels that came on the wagovan (@ries former wagovan for those familiar) are being painted and resealed.

Here's a few quickies:







...and what's gping back on it as soon as I can get the wheels finished/resealed with new tires on them:





Rolled up and set next to wagovan:



Next to silver EG:



Head to head - 1834cc vs. 1797cc:



I'm sure the pics suck and may even be blurry - it's been darker and rainy here, so even inside shop pics are darker than normal, and flash just sucks.

Hell yes. They came with the center caps.

In hindsight I would have never unbolted the lip to repaint them, but you live and learn I suppose. I really time consuming, careful tape-up job would have been cheaper and easier than what I've started, but oh well.

I took the stickers off of the center caps since they were kind of ugly. They had red lettering and an "R" so I'm just going to paint them black.

Nice wagon.

Your silver hatch is probably my favorite 92-95 ever.

Yeah I've got brand new 195/50/15 Kumhos to go on the black Racing wheels for the wagon.

This was/is a 2WD model. I guess the rear 4WD mudflaps are confusing.

There have been some custom 4WD B series wagons if I've read correctly. I'm sure CR-V trannies are involved.

you should leave the emblems on the center-caps. that way the jdm fanboys will think the "R" stands for rota. then they'll be less likely to be jacked... hopefully.

Looks good on the Spoons.

That garage you're in is insane.

Glad to see that car go to an owner who can really appreciate it! And the Spoons look mean on there!

Good Stuff!
