whats it worth? 14" 88-89 LX directionals

[kentwat]

I have the 13x5 24 hole 86 lxi rims and I was thinking about getting a set of the 14" lx directionals from pullapart. 2 out of 4 are in nice shape but 2 have a couple of scratches but no bends. 2 out of 4 tires are road worthy. tax total everything would be $135. Think they are actually worth that? I know it would be what am I willing to spend yada yada.

I wouldn't mind a set of 17's off ebay for $350 but everything I read says 7.5 will be too much in the back.

Also will my center caps fit on the 14" rims? Thanks Kent

They're pretty tight, but I wouldn't pay $135 for them if two are ugly with bad tires.

[LewZur]

I have a set of those that I don't want, where you at? Probably nowhere near me :lol:

[kentwat]

I'm in Montgomery, AL

[charliekuney]

Your should buy my blades instead. Way cooler, way more rare. (:

[kentwat]

Ya, I'd like a set but I think I'm just going to try and get the last 10k miles out of my tires. Thanks for feedback. Those blades would be nice.

[charliekuney]

Those blades would be nice.

...buy them so I can get my new rims!

[86AccordLxi]

I have a set of those stock lxi wheels. Free if someone wants them.

Not shipping.

[Civic Accord Honda]

i had to put mine on the civic i sold to get rid of them LOL and give one of them away to a guy in a teg that had a flat tire and no spare... i couldnt even sale them with 2 newer yokahoma winters on them for $50 LOL

[kentwat]

That is usually the case when you have them they just get in the way and when you need them good luck.

[Dr_Snooz]

If you are at all concerned about weight, avoid them. I think they are something like 18# for a bare rim. On a 14" that's outrageous. You could buy spinners that are lighter.

[fogged]

I sold mine to a scrap yard. Made a whole $12....

[MessyHonda]

lol mine sit outside...i never really liked that style rim...but i saw someone paint the blades black and it looked good

Kent, there is a pull-a-part in montgomery with 11 3rd gen honda's. It is just like the one here in birmingham overflowing with 3rd gen accords. A rim costs 14.03 a piece with the tire. go down and pull you a set

send me pics and I might...

That is what started this post. They have 4 but a couple the clear coat is messed up. I was just trying to find out info on the rims before purchase.

Are those 14's Charlie? Forgive my ignorance, I've never seen a set of those. What did they come on? They look sexy:cheers:

[charliekuney]

Yes, 14's. The only 14's available on the LX-i (yes, the SE-i had 14's but you couldn't get those). I'm pretty sure they were only there in 1989 and only on the LX-i (and Prelude Si 4WS).

That's going to make them as hard to find around here as fat fives :lol:

[accordion89]

have your 13s powder coated black, tires are cheaper for the 13s

Can't upgrade the brakes and run 13s though

[accordion89]

stock brakes work great

[LewZur]

stock brakes work great

I've not had trouble with the stock brakes, but I have the disc brakes to install

[accordion89]

Lxi rims would look sick powdercoated, I like the first gen integra 14" directionals

I like those too, but they're difficult to find here too.

I was always curious what the bolt patern for old rx7s, saw a couple sitting in the junk yard but never checked because i have really clean lx-i wheels

[86AccordLxi]

FCs are 4x114.3 (some are 5x114.3).

[charliekuney]

How hard would it be to powdercoat my rims?

[86AccordLxi]

Apply money.

[2ndGenGuy]

Powdercoating is cheap though.

[Civic Accord Honda]

apply money.


+1

[accordion89]

powdercoating is cheap though.

+1, and it doesnt flake off like spray paint

[MessyHonda]

Powdercoating is cheap though.

depends...over here they quoated me 250 for all 4 rims

[Civic Accord Honda]

depends...over here they quoated me 250 for all 4 rims

yeah its around that price renge... not worth it for factory wheel when i can paint them pretty good for $10 lol, now if it was a nice wheel that's a different story

[LewZur]

I can get it done for around $160, but for stock wheels, I agree, not worth it to me. I'm going to try to pick up an oven after the first of the year, but I'm looking for one to do bigger pieces in so we'll see.

[accordion89]

if my wheels wearnt in good condition I'd pay 250, clean stock wheels look nice
