Bent OEM '94 rim - Honda Prelude Forum

rkonfire · 10-26-2003, 05:13 AM

Hey guys, well unfortunately tonight I hit the BIGGEST pothole ever and it absolutely ate my passenger front side tire AND rim. The rim is bent a little, but my dad seems to believe it's bent enough to where I'll need to replace it. My question is this: where can I find a Non-alloy OEM rim for the Prelude? Is my best bet ebay? Or what about other members on the board? How much will this cost? Any other info would be great as I am kind of stuck right now waiting for daylight so I can look into more of what my options are. Thanks guys.

Okay, I found out the rim is toast. So, I'm looking for a PASSENGER side 9-spoke rim like this (http://www.fidelisav.com/prelude/pics/tennis.jpg) for my '94 Si. If anyone has one laying around, PM me and hopefully we can work out a deal. Thanks.

P.S. - Cordova, where are you?!?

Just tell me what the shipping price is to 99516 and we can go from there. I planned on paying for shipping, btw...so I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to get rid of one.

Before I bought my 1994 Prelude VTEC , I had a 1993 Prelude Si ...Local Prelude buddy sold a set of 1994-1996 style rims to me...I was thinking of putting them on but found out 2 are bent...So I have two good ones. One of rim has a good tire on it and that's the one I want to keep. I calculated shipping UPS from 94601 - 99516 Its $64.91

I just need the rim as it is (without the tire). So, if the leftover good one without the tire is a passenger side, then I'm interested-even with the shipping charges.

Yo...How can I tell if it's the passenger side ?

Use this link. http://www.fidelisav.com/prelude/pics/tennis.jpg

Basically, when you look at the rim, the spokes should be turning to the RIGHT if it's passenger (notice in the pic).

**note, if the spokes are turning to the LEFT, it's drivers side, obviously.

If you still can't figure it out, take a pic or something.

Got it...Let me talk to the other who's interested in the rims...And he's local...I'll get back to you. If you want to look at one of the two bent rims, let me know...It doesnt look bad.

Well, I'm already trying to replace a bent rim, so I'd like to stay away from that arena. Alright, get back to me.
