Crx wheels

I,m trying to get my wheels and tires together for my 90 crx and I would like some feedback. I have a set of the first gen four hole crx wheels they are 14 inch and almost solid. Would they make a good choice or should I keep looking? Would it be worth while to cover the four holes? Any suggestions will be appreciated .

Those wheels are fine. As with most Honda wheels (especially of that era!) they are on the heavy side for alloy wheels, but they work quite well.

It should be marginally worthwhile to cover the holes. Especially with something cheap and easy like aluminum flue tape. You can paint the tape the same color as the wheels, and/or paint the holes back in, if you like.

14" wheels will fit the Insight-spec RE92 tires, which are supposed to be very low rolling resistance and very good for fuel economy. So those wheels should be more than good enough.

If you want to go to lighter weight wheels, first gen civic hybrid and honda insight wheels will also bolt right on, Insight-spec RE92 tires on 14" wheels are the right height too for older civic's and CRX's.
