I didnt strip them, as there was no need to. I scuffed them with 3M "fine" sanding pads. Works well!!

Well I scuffed them with the sanding pads so that the paint would stick....It took 5hrs per wheel to sand. Those fins were a pain. Then I had to wash them to remove dust/dirt. Taping them up took about 1.5-2hrs for each wheel. Then the paint and clear was the easy part. I dont wana paint any wheels for a while, especially ones with such small spaces to sand and clean...:screwy:

Thanks!...Yea as far as being different...there are NO 3rd gens locally. Well there are some but they are rusted and trashed. It sucks always having a "different" honda, that no one can relate to. But, at the same time its a good thing. Oh well..:blah:
