EF with HX wheels!!!

[Papa_Smurf]

Here's my 1990 honda civic hb. It's got a ZC engine :blah:...

anyway, i just got these HX wheels on the car not too long ago and i love em'. With the Kuhmo tires they handle like a dream. I'm goign to be painting the front and rear bumpers, along w/ the side moldings black because they are starting to fade pretty bad.

anyway, i was thinking about painting the wheels black. I've seen these rims done up come NICE colors (i'll post pic's).

Leave em' or paint em'?

the blue hatch @ the end is mine...

[an0therh22]

bronze ftw!

[cactusEG]

i like the white ones.. i always liked the hx and blades

[Halfwit]

i say either black or keep them the stock silver color.

i had black hx's on my crx. looked great. i painted them crappy though...still looked good.

i had black hx's on my crx (#). looked great. i painted them crappy though...still looked good.


wtf...... trader. i hate the stock look of the hx....

[Papa_Smurf]

i want to paint my hatch, but i'm starting to get the feeling that i really dont want to drop that much money into it because i really want to buy a newer civic (EX: 95+) and swap an H22 into it....

But i'll be rollin in the hatch for another half a year to a year so i just want to do somethign to set it off for awhile. I'm thinkin the black looks good, but idk how it would look on my light blue ass car. lol

[speedminded]

Gunmetal with red H. How do you think the car would look with bumpers to match the paint? Then put in factory corners... :)

[Papa_Smurf]

bumpers to match the paint? i hope you're not talking about my light blue ass hatch, because that'd be uuuugly, lol. i'm thinkin bout just primer n' it and runnin it like that. I HATE the color of my hatch.... hate.

but i'm defiantly going to paint the bumpers black and paint the rims black. i'm tryin to sell my hatch and buy like a 96-98 2 door civic and eventually swap an H22 into it.

so buy my hatch :goodjob:

[GSRteg®]

Id go with the bronze :goodjob:

[Papa_Smurf]

i mean, all thoes color look good, but keep in mind this is going onto a light blue hatch (see 1st post). Bronze would look weird on it...

[JDMrequired]

if u hate the color, paint it. I think the black hatch with black HX wheels that was in ur original post looked sick.....like a sleeper straight outta Initial D.........imo

[Papa_Smurf]

yea, but my car aint black, it's fuckin baby blue...lol


i'm thinkin bout doing black w/ a polished lip...

[TheChosenOne]

I was hust wondering... when you paint wheels, what kind of paint do you use???

[Benefit]

duplicolor engine enamel paint

[joesblk_teg]

Gunmetal with red H. How do you think the car would look with bumpers to match the paint? Then put in factory corners... :)

[JDMJAYDC2]

[Papa_Smurf]

ummm, i'd have to take a pic of the paint i used. I also need to get a picture of them, lol. they look really nice.

and i didn't paint thoes rims, lol i wish thoes were mine.

Send me sum pics of your hatch. Are you going to the EF meet?

[GSRteg®]

Be like me and leave them :goodjob:

[Papa_Smurf]

dont you have gold painted blades........

[ranj]

do black paint w/ polished lip.

[r_Senik]

white with red h...reminds me of the 96 itr

[Papa_Smurf]

hell yea, i love the white w/ red H.

but that shit would look weird on a blue car.

I think i'm either going to leave them stock or do black w/ a chrome lip.
