talk about spur of the moment purchase....

So I was over a friends house for their son's birthday, and their little bro says to me after he se's my hatch.. "you know anyone who wants 95 'teg wheels w/ pirelli's?" I'm like, maybe, how much? He goes 200. I'm like DONE! I reached down into the pocket, handed him 200, then we went to his house to pick them up. Anyway, here's what I scored....

What do ya' think? Good deal? PS, there's only one wheel with a little curb rash (the one pictured), all others are perfect. And about 50-65% tread left on the Pirelli P700-Z 205/50/15's.

[Jims 86LXI HB]

Heck ya that a good deal and they look great on a 3rd gen. High offset to:D They weigh 16lbs btw

[86AccordLxi]

Mark those are terrible wheels...I don't think your car is deserving of those, but I think mine is so you should send them to me ! :-D pleeeaaaseee! :)

[bobafett]

good strategy alex!! i agree... there some of the shittiest wheels you can put on a 3g...

my address is...... :D

[markmdz89hatch]

hey Alex, and boba, thanks guys, but I think I'm gonna be holding onto these for a lil' while.

[markmdz89hatch]

Jim, thanks for that weight-in! I knew when I picked them up that they were light, but damn 16lbs? that's wicked light! Hell yeah! Anyway, as shown, they've already got Pirelli P700-Z's mounted. Have you, or anyone had any experience with this tire? Are the thoughts good or bad?

What does this set of wheels normally go for? How great of a deal did I score? PS... If I were to remove those tires to put on my autocrossers, would anyone be interested in buying them off me?

Wellllllll, 16lbs is close to oem, so at least your not going heavier than stock. Light weight would be around 12lbs or less. The average price I see 94-95 teg rims and tires selling for is around $300-$340, so you got a awesome price, a steal! The P700Z isn't in the same leage as 712's, S-03's, or anenis sports. But they should be a nice high performance tire. Check out tirerack and see if anyone has filled out a owner survey on the tire.

nice pickup, my friend..............I just got a set of those a month ago. I love them so much. I kinda want to keep them on all year round now, but probably won't.........

[RobT5580]

Nice cause most people want too much for them including junk yards.

[ACCORD EX]

i like them a lot ! very nice deal ! :D :super:

13x5 steelies 16lbs (based on what 88-91 civic steelies weight)
88-89 14x6/5.5 alloys 17lbs at best

[smufguy]

[86AccordLxi]

No I sure don't. Your asking about the alloys that the lxi sedans had, right?

[86AccordLxi]

Yeah. The 13 inch alloys. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid46/p8685147a6fb15b98aa50a08777f6c0b0/fccf591a.jpg

The SEi Rims are dirt cheap @ around $40 each if you get them at a good junkyard. I'll have to weigh them sometime for a comparison.

i don't have $160 to fork out on rims right now though..., first i gotta get my manual conversion, then get me a cam regrind, then prolly some headers. but if i could get them free, it's worth a shot ;) lol

[Neuspeed007]

i was offered 11lbs wheels once,racingtoo, but i turned them down....not my style, plus they were pricy

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET i want them!
