Update: I am still searching for that bracket I need, other than that nothing new, although I did buy a set of original RT wheels with caps for $200, I think I am going to have then powder coated? Idk? Maybe just some good paint haha
Can't wait!
pretty soon, we are all going to be rolling on stockers
theres a guy on cl that does powder coating. i think it's $45 a wheel. check out his site powderchrome.com
i think i'm going to have him powder chrome my bbs wheels.

that include stripping them?
There is a shop in vancouver, named M&M powder coating, they charge $50 per wheel, but that includes sandblasting as well, they are also very good, all of our powder coating at work is done there..
Don't know I haven't contacted him yet.
I finally picked up the RT wheels today, good overall shape.. They have some surface rust spots but no pitting, I am thinking of having them re barreled to a 15... Idk just a thought
I have 4 that are all original, one wheel that is painted black, two caps shown, +4 mint center caps that are all original never painted or anything. cant wait to buy some tires after they come back from powder-coating!
They are now at the powder coaters, they should be all done on Monday
Ah shoot. Wish we could've traded. That's how I wanted my wheels. Oh well. When are you getting them back? Color? Price?
Oh damn! I matched the OEM color to a powder, so they will look stock lol they will cost $250 for all 5 sandblasted and coated. So I now will have a spare! Should get them back Friday or Monday, they prolly haven't even started on them haha
Where's the pics? Been wanting to see how they turned out and on your wagon.
Well Nick put some tires on them yesterday, and finally got some OEM lug nuts for them, so they will be going on soon! Should have pictures like Wednesday! Or sooner if I can figure how to post them from my iPhone
Okay, so here is an update, last weekend I welded in the passenger side motor mount bracket in,
My wagon was an auto, I bought it already swapped, but the kid didn't use the correct bracket,
The manual RT4wd had a unique passenger side motor mount bracket, it is unlike any other civic, or civic wagon.
The difference is about 1.75" in height
You should be able to see from the pictures
Here is the mount that I bought and had shipped to me from a HCW member!
Here are some pictures... Before:
The welder I was using: (7018 stick)
Starting to weld:
All done, painted, with some body panel stuff on there too..:)
Also I just wanted to post a few pictures of what else I drive, I have a 1998 jeep, I have owned for 5 years, I have done all the work to it,
also I have a 9' travel trailer that was a 1963 aristocrat lil-loafer, be for I rolled the body off the Frame and built a new one! The only thing from the old trailer is the windows haha
So what size tire did you get? My manual doesn't say what the oem size is. I was figuring 185/65/14 but never heard a clear answer.
The wheels look great! Are you going to paint the black circles?
Hay thanks! I'm really happy with them,
The tire size is 175/70R14, it will say inside your floe box...
And yes I will paint the black circles in, just not in a huge hurry too ... Haha

Yeah I really liked them gold as well, but they were spray painted and only looked good from a far.. Thanks btw!
I was not sure the previous owner had them on there.. They just might have been!
He thought they were like "rally armor" hahaha they weren't even close
