First Mod
Bought new tires but before putting them on I needed different wheels, I had three alum, and 1 steal on the car. so off to the scrap yard I went. as soon as I walked in, the fork lift (on steroids) was dropping an 85 civic, and on this civic was 4 original Honda wheels with center caps and beauty rings, so I gave the car a once over just to make Shure some kid didn't take the car off roading before taking it to the scrapyard, seems I was in luck so I took them home, mounted the tires with spoon bars (cheaper that way)and slapped them on, they ride grate. now for the mod, I took the beauty rings into my place of employment, (metal fab shop) cut out a few disks out of alum. Clamped the beauty rings to them and threw in a few stainless steal rivets and this is the end result

Not as flush with the wheel as I would have hoped but they should do the trick and they look better to
