The center caps won't fit on the front wheels. The hub thing sticks out too far and the cap won't sit flat. I think they look good off anyways.

Trinity....is your car higer than mine? Did you roll your fenders? What are your offsets?

You guys have the same offsets, so I'd be interested in finding out if trinity removed the dust cap to make it fit.

Thanks, Rishie

the life of the wheel bearings and the races will probably shorten significantly if you leave it exposed to teh enviroment.

If you have ever changed the front wheel bearings u will know how big of a PITA it is to change... well the bearings are easy... its the races that are nightmares... leave the bearing cap on...

or find someway to grind the bearing cap/dust cap down a bit.

I am not sure if my car is higher, I have the racing beat springs, they say they drop it about an inch. I didnt roll the fenders front or rear. And I do have the dust caps on with the center caps on the rims. I didnt have any trouble with that, its odd that you do. Maybe its because the 87 turbo 2's are better

Trinity...what kind of lugnuts are you using? In one of those pics it looks like there's some rust formming on the insides of them. On my integra, I had some crappy lugs on and they rusted up; then when it rained out the rust ran down the rim and left permanent rust stains on the rims. really sucks. That's why this time around I got some Kyokugen lugnuts so my rims wouldn't get ruined. I just wanted to let you know incase that really is rust in there...
by the way 91 TII's are better all the way

I don't show any 16" diameter. The wheel I would pick for that fitment is the RPF1. That wheel is amazing. in 16" about 14lbs at most.

thanks, the RPF1s are actually the other wheel I was looking at but I thought the RPM2s were so good looking I had to ask.
