I am at a crossroads. I hate the look of my hubs and the condition they are in. I want to get rims but no money. Should I take off the hubs and leave the black oem look. It looks ok but I just hate the hubs so I took off one and left one on and took some pics. Please let me know.

Looking at those pics I am getting some lowering springs or at least throw a few hundread pounds in the trunks and maybe weld some lead to the bottom of the engine

 

I say paint the hub caps gunmetal. (and watch out for the curbs)

The steelies just look like it got towed out of the junkyard









Then start saving for som wheels

 

Yeah i never did like the "donut/spare" look of those wheels. just go to a junkyard or even lookit up online for some stock hubcaps. try your honda dealer. maybe the price isn't too bad for new ones. Atleast the hubcaps match your car you know, like wearing white shoes to a blacktie party[:'(] Just my Opinion. Painting them isn't a bad idea either.

 

i would like to see what they looked like painted black... seems like a good idea.

 

Not to be the token dissenter, but I vote for the OEM rims. I think they look pretty tight on a dropped ride.

 

i did that i took my hub caps off... i think it looks ok as long as you keep them clean and black but i hate hub caps

 

Word

 

leave the caps on, at least til you can afford new wheels. black steelies make the car look cheap. if you really don't like your stock hubs, go to an auto store and get some gunmetal 5 spokes. they aren't a set of new 17's, but at least it will improve your look for under $40
