seems like a good excuse to paint the hardtop to match the wheels

wheels seem like they need to be rebuilt. they dont get balanced properly anymore. they were made in 94 so that might have something to do with it...

but i love them and would like to refinish them

I'm pretty sure they don't do that kind of work. I really wouldn't know where to send you.

The wheels look really good up close. They flow with that "freedom" pipe too.

using conical/tapered nuts on the ball/radius wheel is a no-no...

if this is what your friend did then it really is his fault and the lugs can't be blamed...i was assuming that people use the proper lugs to seat in their wheels

I actually got my Black S2K CR lug nuts today, and installed them. The Project Kics lugs were just temporary. I had them on the RE30's, and did not want to put the stock chrome lugs on the new wheels. It was only 5 days with aftermarket lugs on stock wheels. I had them torqued at 80 ft lbs., and they didn't ever back out, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

And for anyone who wants a set of the Black CR Lug nuts, I got them from the local Honda dealer, for a little more than what HTguy can get them for, but I didn't have to pay shipping. So, it actually came out to be about the same price.
