As I'm fussy about originality (but like my cars fully loaded) I have bought a set of alloys off a 1984 Prelude to fit my 2.5g. The original steel wheels with plastic trims don't do much for me.
The old Preludes are very rare here (like most old Hondas) so I was really pleased to find a set of 13" Honda alloys with no corrosion, the car they came off was rusty though. They're getting collected this week (hopefully) by one of the drivers at my work - from a distance of over 300 miles away.
I work in autosalvage & guess what came in for scrap today? Yeh, so now I have 2 sets of '84 Prelude alloys! Gonna get the best 5 together & send them away for refurbishment & will see if I make use of the other 4 for one of the other cars. Couldn't believe it when I saw the car, whats with that? Been working in a busy yard for 3 years & theres not been a single old Accord or Prelude in until this one today.
Just need to get tyres sorted out now, prefer a set of Michelins for that fresh out the showroom look!
