where did you get that thing for the middle? like when you take off the center cap you have something that doesnt show the bearings? i want to take off my center caps but im afraid of water getting into the bearings. Where did you get those?

I can't wait for this fad to be over. You now have the same wheels as a civic dx w/ hub caps.

alright alright...before you guys get your nuts in a ball...these are my track wheels...notice the Victoracers. I ran on the track with OEM's unpainted all last year. It looked nasty...kinda like I was too lazy to wash my wheels. But I didn't care, because I knew in one month, the brake dust would build up again.

Yes, my front bumper is cracked...swallowed a cone at high speeds

Yes, they are chipped already...I don't really care cause the brake dust covered it later.

And I have no idea how i got that cap thing for the front wheels. I assumed it was suppose to be like that stock...?

I know they are track tires, but I think "undressed" tires make the entire car look like crap. Spray a little tire shine on 'em to spruce up the look a little, and to help protect the rubber.


or do nothing... its your car

Track wheels make it a bit more understandable. I do suggest for anyone really to find a decent wax to apply to your wheels, helps brake dust simply spray off (most of the time) after every track session.
