there is a big movement in japan right now as far as antique japanese vechicles and manufacturers are stepping up. i found these wheels from mooneyes of japan,going to check into them., these are 15x6 with a 4x100 pattern, and the correct offset for our cars. they are aluminum also http://www.mooneyes.co.jp/smw/images/hr06civic.jpg

They look pretty nice on that civic... I'm not a huge fan of them myself though. US company though, so it wouldn't be too hard to get your hands on them,

yea I was going to say they do look yotaish, like old hi lux wheels with chrome trim on them. or maybe a corrona.
retro

this is what i wanted originally,but they just aren't available in the proper offset or bolt pattern,i have a set of these from the 60's that look just like it but they are for a rear wheel drive car.

^^^ Hey lost I for sure understand what you mean with the style you are going for, I think they would work quite well with that theme... not a bad price either. Bit more expensive then I would have thought though

I have mixed feelings about these wheels-personally on a older car I want some sort of low offset with a dish and unfortunitly dosent really look like they offer them in drastic offsets-but still cool wheels anyways-on an accord I would say no-maybe panasports if you want OS
