Re: ALUM RIMS
I believe they are flower power alloy rims. So prob negative on pure aluminum.

I'd get them powdercoated and put them in the FS section, your only hope of unloading them. Why not just use them for winter rims? Or full size spares? I have my o.e. SE wheels with snow tires, 15" lightweights in case I ever go to the track, and my powdercoated 17's for cruisin around....

Re: ALUM RIMS
ive already got snowies on steel black rims, and a spare set of stock civic with good tires... so i was hoping they could suplement the cost of some dope 16-17's.
Re: ALUM RIMS
Don't quite think that's possible, you might be able to fetch a couple hundred for them if they're in really good shape.

Re: ALUM RIMS
do you know of anyone who has powdercoated their stock "flower power" rims? i'm thinking of doing mine but i'm not sure if they would just look lame cause they are in fact stock rims.93vtecklr wrote:I'd get them powdercoated and put them in the FS section, your only hope of unloading them.

Re: ALUM RIMS
There is a member on here who has a silver car, and either painted them or PC them black, and polished the lip, it looks pretty good. I plan on having my SE rims PC too, don't know if I want to just restore them and have them done in silver, or do the black on those too. I'm kinda thinkin silver because they are factory rims.
