they are the same rims i have on my car but they are red instead of black,
for more info, check my sig for pics
I'm running slicks on it, don't worry about that. 24.5/8.0-15 for the front and just some small ass tires for the rear. If you have $1200 for Weld wheels, I'd gladly rock those. However, I'm on a budget. I'll worry about the benefits of a lightened rotational mass next season.
As for the color...my site's colors are red, black and white. The car is black, the wheels are red and I'm as white as a ghost.
Just sticking with the theme.Steve
It is a RACECAR, gotta rep the site.

looks good man keep up the good work
im doing a h22 in a white eg dont have the money to go k20
but i would if i could.one agen keep it up dont get lost with it
Cause mounting a K20 in a CRX sucks and an EG is only a "few pounds" heavier.

Started installing the rear suspension and camber adjusters when I snapped the head off the lower control arm (bolt that holds the lower part of the shock) on the passenger side. Apparently the driver's side is pretty well frozen too. So, I'm going to hit it up with some pen. oil and let it sit over night.
Removing the snapped bolt is going to suck however since I don't own a retraction tool. I'm going to try and unscrew it from the other side since the threads are exposed and then grab it back from the snapped side once enough is threaded through.
I love unexpected shit like this...really, I do.
On a brighter note, I'll be picking up my FAL windows on Monday (thanks Marcos!) and will start prepping the car for that. (Need to weld in a windshield support and tabs on the rear hatch.)
*Edit: LOL! I broke the head off of the other side too. Now both control arms are stuck on the stock struts. I need new bolts and I still have to get the broken ones out of the stock LCAs so I thought about just sparing myself the headache and getting the new LCAs instead.
Stock LCA/Shock bolts...they're loving me.
Rear suspension installed and waiting for either new LCAs or new bolts and the old ones removed.

I just did that replacing my old suspension. I had to go with new LCAs because those bolts were stuck like whoa. Hell, they're still stuck. I soaked them for a week with three different kinds of penetrating lube, air hammer, air chisle, sledge hammer, torch, NOTHING would get those bastards to budge. I got the wicked tuning LCAs from ebay and am pretty happy with them. Nothing amazing but they get the job done. And they give you an icy hot stunna look from the rear.
*edit*
Here is the thread where I asked for suggestions as to how to break loose the bolts. Several good ones in there. One might work for you. -----> cLiCkY <-----
