    Cheap wheels, yes or no.

    In a position to score these wheels, XXR 5-somethings, in a trade for some old honda parts laying around my shop. I like the look OK but wondering what other people thought. I usually don't do this, but eh.





    They need hub-centric rings and I am considering getting the spacers/hub-rings in 15mm in the rear and something less in the front. Sorry for the dirty car, the weather has been shit.

    If you are bored, want to change it up, and don't really need the H-parts, I say do it.

    It would be nice to see a picture fully mounted on your car.

      BTW my car is usually a bit lower than that, the pic was taken fresh off the jack with the parking brake still on and that was just a test fit (you can see my friends EF in the reflection).

      I'm just rocking factory weaves right now, and a change would be good. I mean, for cheap wheels I won't be upset if something happens to them or anything like that.

      Also, the only Honda I have to worry about these days is my wife's '08 Element.

        Is it just me or are those tires WAY undersized?

          They look sexy even if they are cheap. If the parts are not needed do it! I would get a taller side wall if I were you. They look too skinny for the size of the rim.

            It's just you. I thought they were oversized a bit for my tastes. I think it is just the height of the car throwing off the look. What is the width, 7 or 8?

              It isn't just you, they were on a honda civic so the +25 offset made it impossible to put a decent sized tire on it. They are brand new though and iirc are a good name tire. Eh, I'm in the air on these, they are a nice change from the monotony of stock wheels, but they aren't what I want in the end. Then again, for what I am giving for them I'd have to be a little retarded to pass them up (but I do own an E30 afterall, so there is definitely some mental disability going on here LOL)

                I actually have no idea man, I was more worried about the offset at the time I was talking with him. I will text him and find out real quick what the wheel and tire sizes are.

                      I love being able to change wheels when I want so I probably wouldn't get rid of them unless I was in a bind, lol. But that is a good point, i can turn old parts that are hard to sell into something easier to sell in the future.

                          Well it's easier to sell a set of cheap wheels than a bunch of Honda parts I'm assuming. Just do it.
