im pretty sure this is a member on here
i know they are steelies with a lip
but i was wondering if they were widened and if they were a diy job or if they were purchashed?
Pretty sure they are not widened, and a DIY job … I forget the member’s name though!
Just look like steelies with the center painted black. Stands out more because of that, so they just look wider.
these are steelies. no other modifications other that the lip which was a DIY
I just wonder what he used for the centercap?
Paint. It is either a blackie with the lip painted silver or a silver steelie with the center painted black.
Centercap? That little crome and black piece covering the axle nut.
It’s a center cap from a different set of steelies.
Steelies from Hondas that didn’t have hubcaps like the Civic CX and DX had those center caps on them. They have Hs on them too.
Groove D was the owner of that car.
i always thought that was mdt115 's car before he switched to his sexy db
Don’t wanna jack, but i HAVE TO KNOW… Whats that color? Paint name? Code? Lovin that grey!!! :burnout: :manual:

I’ve seen stock ones before, but DAMN, that one there looks hella nice.
I’d like to see a close up pic.
by far sick for bn a DIY job…since i dont have the money to spend on rims…might have to do something like this but maybe a different color instead of polishin the lip
wow, never thought i’d see my car posted by another member…
that was my old DA before i sold it.
in a nutshell; fell in love with the 15inch steelies when it first came out on the 2000 civics…
purchased 4 brand new 15inch steelies (black semi-gloss) from honda at a whopping 25 dollars each.
purchased high temp gloss black paint and prepped each steelie…
after the gloss black paint was dried, i masked and painted the lip with chrome paint; waited for it to dry; clearcoated.
centercaps were off a 90-91 civic dx.
steelies were not widened (still have them today and it looks sick with spacers!)
i miss my DA at times…
more pics of my old but not forgotten da9
those are the best looking steelies. So did you sell your car directly to the thread starter or did it change a few hands?
i dont own the car
i just saw a pic of it and loved the rims
thanks for posting how you did it and the pics
Everything was done to that car… almost every single part was changed, you name it. I had a first gen b16 with LSD which was very nice.
I had to sell it because: a) the body was rotted out like no tomorrow and b) it was simply too small to lug my family around. I then purchased a db1 along with a 01 hyundai elantra (beater) to get around.
I tried to take everything off my old DA and put whatever i could on the DB1 and sold it almost stock looking hehe
A pic of my DB1 with my favourite wheels!
Look at that hood tan
MDT, Your DB looks sexy with the spoiler… Put it on… :shy:
damn your black one was dope, would have been much nicer if you had a nice set of wheels on it.
