2017 Civic Type R Rebuild ***Project EvilR***

And if you are not in love with the color now is the perfect time to change it lol

True, I am not in love with the color I wanted bronze from the beginning. Only downfall of changing them all is loosing the birth date decals on the inside of the barrels and paying to dismount and mount the tires again.

Yes! Once I get some prices on a replacement wheel that will help me make a decision. I have a feeling it will cost a lot for one

I think so too. Personally I would just change the color. But everyone is different

Looks like a new wheel is going to set me back $700 or more... Ouch.

Eternal Blue is not going to be available in the US any longer, so you may want to pull the trigger. I'm trying to score some 57DRs in eternal blue, personally.

Oh really? Umm maybe I should just buy it then.
I just can't decide whether to buy or just redo them all a different color.

Fresh wash, looks so good when it's clean. Can you even tell the wheel is scuffed? I pretend you can't lol..

lol that is not curb rush at all.... you can easily color match it, if body shop you take your wheel is reputable and really pros they can do a good job color matching... lol I thought you completely bent that wheel, also like others said, paint all four, easier, cheaper and faster than keep trying to find one wheel that probably don't exist anymore Just saying

Totally forgot about my husband's friend that painted his ITR. I showed him my wheel and he said he can match it no problem, he doesn't even have to paint the entire thing! He said he can blend it. So that is the route I will be going with. Will do that once my car is in storage so I don't have any downtime right now. He did a amazing job on my husband's car a few years ago, so I feel pretty good about giving him my wheel.

Here is his car just to show you the paint. His car use to be Berlin Black and he did a full color change to Phoenix Yellow.
