Default got my rims back from powdercoater

I decided it was time for my miata wheels to get a different color. we just got a new powder coater in the area and i must say for the price i am very impressed with it. i did all the prep work. dropped them off last night at 5 and i picked them up today. $70 to do all 4 wheels.

Here's what they used to look like

Now what they look like

I like them too, I have always liked the way that those Miata wheels look on a civic for some reason.

Those RWD wheels work okay on a FWD Civic? Any spacers or anything required?

pics of them on the car will be up when my azenis come in this week. and when i get the lip mirrors and wing on. Rims are 14 x 6

You have to bored the center hub out a lil. thats the only modification that is needed to make them fit. im think of puttin on some H&R spacers so they fill the wheel well a lil better
