lad round corner from me has one that looks just the same in white with black wheels looks a bit rubbish with black wheels and with your wheels in black will probably let it down i think,

them wheels in white with clean car like that i think would set it off great, or if dont like white wheels keep them in red but nice and fresh.

Im not wanting the wheels white, don't think they suit white CRXs much. I usually dislike black wheels as most of the time they look cheap but comps usually pull the colour off well. Hopefully a photoshop will help me decide

white would look great but red looks just as good i would stick with red saves a job looks good as it is but i personally would prefer white, black wheels on CRX look rubbish on photos and worse in person i think you will regret it

im no photoshop expert or nerd but might help (took a minute as you may tell lol) but might help ?

That helps alot. It does look abit crappy, hard to tell with a pic though because you can never see black wheels well enough. Il keep them red and see how i feel, they're not going white though :p

I think a metalic dark grey would be good :) blacks ok but it would hae to be satin unfortunalty the pic does it no justice as they look matt, i personly ( my own opinion ) dont really like the red, but i have white wheels so we probs have different tastes.

Thanks for the comments. Im not wanting to do them grey/orange/etc even though it may work. The options are red as it'll be easier for me or satin/matt black as it will be easier to spray them that. I know the red doesnt match the orange indicators but there's that many colours going on i dont think it matters.

Im liking the red so i will probably keep it like that for a bit and see how i feel. At least some of you agree so at least im not on my own lol

Thanks for the comments and opinions :)

Yorkie...no lol

Yes they're off my nova. Was going to fit some other wheels but this way was easier and cheaper lol The bore size is about 1mm out so they fit onto the crx perfect but the crx wheels wont quite fit onto the nova.

I bought it last week off the main crx forum and was off an enthusiast so at least i could trust them. It is a vtec and a VERY clean one at that and would very easily go back to standard. I will be putting it up for sale at the end of summer but if anybody wants it now i will sell it for the right price, check how much these are worth first though lol

keep them red, they really suit the car, as its already got alot of black and white on it. it breaks up the other colours a bit, and draws the eye in :thumb:

When i finally get round to getting my next proper car im doing the wheels on that gold so dont really want to do the same to this.

Iv decided to keep them red, it looks great i think but if i start to get embarassed il just put the standard wheels back on to give it that standard look.

Cheers kev, take a look at my project thread if you want to see the build of it :thumb:
