I paid about $125 for the pair (cables, calipers, arms, spindles) from Again Auto Parts http://www.againautoparts.com/ Best junkyard in my opinion in Chicago. You can call and ask about their inventory.

I did buy new pads, new seal kit, new bushings, and used rotors elsewhere (about $80) and did all the refurb myself.

thanks for the encouragement. little car has come a long way.

- Sun Feb 26, 2012 10:15 pm #296283 I want to keep my civic as stealth as possible, so i am keeping these 1991 crx si wheels. I degreased and did a quick power wash today.

should i strip and repaint, or do they look decent enough to throw on some new tires?

Image

only the last one on the right has really the only big noticable blemish.

- Sun Mar 04, 2012 6:35 am #296954 getting ready to paint my 1991 crx si wheels
got my 180, 320, and 1000 grit sandpaper, degreaser. Also have my primer, silver wheel paint, and clear coat.
Image
center caps sanded down
Image
one had a crack, saw a trick on bbc's "wheeler dealers" where you make a "valley" out of the crack so the plastic epoxy weld can have a stronger bond.
Image
added epoxy then sanded as usual…could not tell which one I did after primer.
started on my wheels with the sanding
Image
Image

plan on painting next weekend.

I also had some time to install my Mugen pedals
