well at least two of them,have to locate two more, these are from a 94 geo prism, they just need some minor work to make the center hole bigger, and some paint,and of course to get rid of the geo logo in the middle. it's painted on not cast. i need to take maby a 32nd out of the center,going to machine it off, but it could be done with a flap wheel and die grinder if needed.
Why?
wasn't there Honda oem wheels like that for 3gen Accord? I was looking at the old brochures for all the wheels available back then.
why not? they are lightweight 14 inch alloys. i think i might paint them that gloss primer gray.Originally Posted by BITESIZE

Those will look pretty good on your car. I've been eying a set of Kia wheels for my car for a while.
i'm thinking of having monkey make decals like the original accord script and using that for a paint mask on the centers when i paint them . they would look almost factory yet they really aren't
sorry, but for once i actually dont like wat youve choose for your car... but its your car
well i think they will look different painted and actually on the car. too shiny now.
this is what they look like off the car with no tire and no center cap
holy crap i just priced used ones, over 200 apiece used. 400+new. it also says they are machined not cast.i paid 25 apiece. i think he has another geo out there i need to look tomorrow.
Gunmetal would like nice.
good idea
They look alright as is but, i think they would look better if you didnt use the center cap. As for painting them thats your choice. They look nice now and gun metal might also look good, but how about painting they "eyes" black. You know black out the centers in between each spoke. Just an idea
No more 3G but that doesn't mean i cant look at yours...
I'd like them with gold inner spokes. To each his own.
On your car, though, the gold spokes would look like poo.
yea i thought about that,i need to make this lathe adaptor first and machine out that center then find two more.
I think they look good...a little different, but they will show off a lot better than stock! Why not run them without center caps, and use anodized lugs from like Mackin Industries...?
yep for sure, duplicolor wheel paint FTW, use the clear that goes with it, that stuff really makes a nice job.
yea i was going to do the gunmetal with the inner parts of the spokes black,and the center section black,then put my small honda H center caps in the center holes.
Not a bad find....im still waiting on my free set of rims im getting for trading my old spoiler...just some oem 15" alloys 5 or 6 spoke. Hope you can find the other 2 tho
i cant wait to see what they look like on the car i need to finish my 4ws prelude wheels i got
took a whole year but i got the 100th post
yet only took a month to get the 200th
Dec. 05-Dec. 06
looks nice
1988 Honda Accord LX-i Coupe 123k miles.
does anyone know if the rear hub wheel bearing can be removed? i need to make an adaptor to machine out those center holes,and i need to get the bearing out of an old rear hub. have to chuck up the entire rim in the lathe so i can take around a 32nd out of each center hole.

oh i did finally get the bearing out,well sort of. the center part of the bearing cannot be removed. ball bearings and bearing centers can,but not the race the ball bearings roll in. it was a son of a bitch machining that bearing part to get this heavy tube through it. oh i think i'm going flat black on the wheels with graphite cutouts
here is the tool need to press in the lug studs yet

Wow those look good! And for that price they were a steal! If you need help let me know. I just recently restored a set of integra gsr rims for my civic
