It looks fantastic, are you putting the original wheels back on (please), or going for something else?

Original wheels lovegroova.The ones i have are in a terrible state though,it's proving difficult to get them refurbed.I've been offered a set of 15" volks that i'm admittedly tempted to buy and fit,but i'll wait for the outcome on the OEM's.

when i bought my crx mk3 i had problems with the arches, ended up getting it all sprayed white and seemed fine for the year and half i had it. so hard to keep clean though. but worth it, white cars just look amazing!

Got my little crx back from having the new panels welded in and resprayed,quite chuffed.Please ignore the wheels,they're only temporary.





Feck me; that looks tidy!

Actually, the wheels look fairly acceptable. Although some Rotas would be far better...

Yup! They'll do nicely.

The originals are cool, keep them if you can. They have an element of the Alfa V6 telephone dial wheels about them.

Definitely.

But the cars respond well to a very modest increase in wheel size & a reduction in unsprung mass. It's the old Pirelli +1 theory.
