    Moved it to the van, stayed in the dash of it ever since :)

    That used to really annoy the Civic drivers that couldn't get one :pac::pac::pac:

    Not illegal to have either as its ornamental :)

    It's clever, I wish I thought of it first really. :)
    There's not a whole lot interesting about my car, not yet anyway.

    That yoke has inspired me some what. :D

    you should have went gloss finish with the horns, you'd be surprised how many bugs get squashed on them, i'd say the matte might be hard to clean.

    one of my favourite subtle changes though, painting the horn (where visable) looks really mean on the IS/ Altezzas too, love it :cool:

    My brother said that to me while we we're doing it!

    The plan is to go back down next week and re-do them, gloss them, and also do the calipers. There wasn't much of the paint left after we did them :/

    you wont regret it :) a tin of general purpose aerosol paint wont set you back more than a fiver anyway! were you tring to match them to the colour of the car?

    my effort! cant really see it in the pic i don't think.

    clearly they are working because you can't see any fog :pac:

    i turn them on for photos, looks pretty cool. got a garda caution for using them years ago on my old ZR so genuinely rarely drive with them on.

    These are the wheels i picked up on the cheapy anyway, well not the actual wheels, but the same kind :pac:

    kind of growing on me, need people to tell me they are cack basically and keep the standard ones.

    also, can i use the standard glanza taper ended nuts to hold these on? the holes in the rim look to have a steeper tapered angle on them than the nuts if that makes sense?

    Look good, dunno if they would suit a glanza though.

    At the very worst you have some winter wheels

    I think they're a budget Japanese wheel, they came off of an imported integra. only 14's too. they are going on for until the NCT is over anyway as 2 of my tyres now are fairly rough. ideally though i'd like to keep the car as original as possible just on a shoestring budget.

    CACK!
    I'd say keep them as winter wheels and keep the originals on it.

    No, the idea is to have them a different colour, I love red, my brother had some spare paint, so it all worked out :D

    I think I'll pick up the TRD one's on ebay this week, they look much better
