So i went to the Pick a Part Again and just as i was parking i munched a hubcap on the kerb, i then thought :x it and decided to go steelies with some wheel caps off of a 80s honda something or other.

So that.

Or that.

Be honest.

I personally like the 14" steelies with OEM Coupe/Hatch hubcaps. If I was going to have to Roll on steelies I would want these Hubcaps. Kinda Remind me of Blades. I had my Sedan Rolling on These Same Steelies and Hubcap

The Silver on them gives the car a slightly classier Look, Especially on a Sedan.

The Smaller Center Caps that cover just the Hub holes make it look Cheaper, I personally Hate these. I would rather Roll on some horrid looking walmart hubcaps then these. I got ride of them as quickly as I could.

Once Again, I would roll on the 14" Steelies and the EX/Si Coupe/Hatch Hubcaps.

Nice Looking Sedan BTW. :thumb:

I would go with the hubcaps... steelies make you look cheap... maybe get some chrome trim rings for the steelies? My buddy has them on his red hatch and they look pretty cool.

How do those atttach?

And whats the chance of getting them in New Zealand you reckon?

The pick a part has a shit load of hondas and i'm sure i will be able to replace the hubcap that i fucked if i looked hard enough.

I can't say i've ever seen those chrome rings before.

If I was going to roll on steelies, I would get a set of 15" fronm a scion xA or xB. Otherwise i like the look of the hubcaps- they're some hood looking hub caps. Not like the cheap looking ones that you buy at the parts stores.
The honda ones are very flush with the rim.

I don't like hubcaps, the crome lip would be perfect!

I found a supplier in this country that has those ring thingys. For the exact same price as the JC Whitney ones (when changed to NZD).

So now i just need to decide if these will look good or ghetto...

Dude with the red hatch, how about some full car shots?
