Im back but in a mk1 CR-X

I think the blue centre caps look great with the matching nuts in the crx pic you posted up.

Yep, nice bargain, well done
Will the silver spray on the centre caps clean up properly back to the original blue?

The paint has come off, but they are not great. Bit of sun fading and a few dents. But not too bad.

Spent time inspecting and cleaning my mugen alloys today. Some good points and some bad. The wheel finish was atrocious, badly sprayed and flaking off and were in a bad cosmetic condition.







Lots of corrosion on the inside too



A little bit of heat applied?



Oh this is why!



And a small flat spot.



But nothing too bad.
The lips are good and have no kirbing.


Oops another weld.

[honda-hardy]

With the wheels inspected and tbh fairly straight forward I have now sand blasted them. Removing all old paint and corrosion.

[mercutio]

lol thats what you get with "sought after" things you get repairs but tbh they dont look that bad will look cool when painted/powdercoated

[NafemanNathan]

Exactly, when they're painted and on, the welds will be out of sight and they'll look new again Great find Sam

[wurlycorner]

So long as the weld is structurally safe, then when you can't see it in normal use that's all that matters

I think this is where the misunderstanding in the other thread has come from, Sam is a rexist, not a racist

Nice motor though Sam, they handle like go carts. I always fancied the later 160bhp vtec model, another car i never bought but wish i had.

Not a big fan of the Mugen wheels personally, look a bit too euro for me. But i guess they score scene points.

You kept quiet about being able to sand blast
