chris_agu28 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 When i bought my del sol back in november they came with rims on it. But not the stock ones, they are honda rims for sure cause they all say honda motor corp. on them but i don't know which car they came off. My friend thinks there are prelude rims. They look just like them but, the ones I saw that looked just like them are 5 lug. Tell me what you think. btw, the extra print on the rims are 14x51/2jj 45. Sorry for the dark pic, it was dark when i took the photo.
Nancy Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 theyre the last gen crx wheels, they were an option. keep them, those are pretty hard to come by.
Humphries Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 they're fugly but they're CRX Si wheels. hard to find. i'd sell them.
Xeryon Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 sure they were crx? i thought the mini-blades from the crx were 13's? like these, unless I miss-identified these wheels too:
Xeryon Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 i was commenting that the ones on my civic were what I thought were the crx rims the ones in his pic remind me of old prelude rims, but its hard to tell cause the pic is so dark.
Hatch92 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 either way i think if he cleans them up and repaints them or puts them back to silver it would look good.
chris_agu28 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 from what i am reading these rims are rare and good looking. but what i can tell either are they late gen crx or a early prelude. I looked all over the net to see if I can find what car they came off. The guy who painted them did a good job, it looks like a clear coat is on there to. No primer black here. I would sell them but I would need to replace what I have on there. Those are my only set of rims and tires. What would be a good way to get the paint off and make they silver again all without messing up the wheel? Here are some good lucking daylight pics with the honda logo and misc numbers on the rims. (sorry, they are dirty)
Kegger Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Those are the last Gen CRX wheels. Aircraft paint remover and fine sand paper followed by super fine would do just fine in removing the paint.
chris_agu28 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 thanks guys, that solves that mystery.
Xeryon Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 while we are at it wheel guru peeps, what the hell are the ones on my civ? being they were 13's and all, all I know is that they were not an original option on a 95 sedan.
chris_agu28 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 do you have a pic of them? or are they the ones in your sig?
chris_agu28 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 they look like prelude rims, earlier ones. I saw some doing research looking for mine.
Nancy Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 sure they were crx? i thought the mini-blades from the crx were 13's? like these, unless I miss-identified these wheels too: those were optional for all 92-95 civics. dx models got steelies, lx and ex models got hubcaps. i remember because when my mom bought her 92 civic sedan she opted for those wheels for like $500 extra.
chris_agu28 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 It is the closest thing he can get.
Humphries Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 to agree with nancy, yes they are OEM optionals.
