I’ve compounded and polished the racecar, and because I’m a glutton I polished the CRX phone dials that serve as rollers on the Integra. I’ve learned that any way to polish wheels besides a mother’s Powerball type thing and the metal polish of your choice is wrong. That thing rocks.

That looks amazing. I hated those wheels for so long that I now kind of love them.

Back in the 90's, they were a considerable improvement over the steelies and wheels covers that came on an RS model Integra. I always liked them on the car, as they’re period appropriate.

I bought a set of crummy teardrops cheap for my mk3 Jetta and spent an afternoon with a pc7424 and the mothers polish.. They turned out awesome and were some of my favourite wheels on the car.. Infact I kept them for the next two mk2 Jettas..

Those rims are so wrong, but oh so right.

Yeah, they’re incredibly charming, I think i just didn’t like them as a kid because 1. i was a kid and 2. they are pretty tiny.

These days i’d like to think i have more developed tastes, and in particular, i dont care if everything doesn’t look hyper aggressive and sporty.

14x5.5 is the factory wheel size. I’m guessing there hasn’t been a new car sold for some time with that small a wheel.
