Help finding wheels.. - Honda Prelude Forum

Rich_A · 03-20-2006, 03:27 PM

I'm trying to find a wheel like the Racing Hart C2 Evo or C4.. for a little less without getting something ghetto.

I love the Enkei RPM2 but it doesn't come in our bolt pattern in the finish I want.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I want to get something very similar and in a nice silver finish (not flat or dull silver)

was - then I found out there's a 90+ day backorder on the ones I wanted.

so, new plan.

sweet! thanks!

I am also looking at Konig Imagine.. very C4 ish and perfect size/offset!

Well.. ASA is garbage as it turns out.

Konig Imagines are sold out and discontinued as far as north america goes.

This sucks

look at the "Sport Engine"

similar to the Enkei RPM. 18x7.5" +48 , available in silver.

not sure if its available now since it says "new." 5Zigen wheels are usually reasonably priced.

i put a set of those AR-1's in black on at work and they looked good, clean even paint with no flaws in the finish. Looked like a solid wheel. They were also put on a friends car and after hitting a large pot hole it only had a very slight wobble.

the guy that was drving, also a co-worker said he was going about 60 and wasn't able to miss the pot hole after another co-worker swerved to miss it. I'm not saying that you should be finding all the pot holes you can and hit em, I'm just saying they are not garbage and if you like the design you should go with them.

What do you guys think about 18x7 instead of 18x7.5?

I found a couple wheels, but they only come in 18x7 or 18x8 and I'm afraid to go 8 wide on the lude..

Also for 18x7 would tires be the same-ish as 18x7.5 or .. ?

Rich how about these rims?? Classic rims and fit your criteria I think.

They do, but

1. I have a huge in-store credit where I usually get my stuff from so I need to buy my wheels from there.

2. I'm afraid to lower on 18x8.. and if it was do able I wouldn't know how

So, those do fit the criteria, except I need to get them from the store I have the credit at - and those rims are a lot of cash new because they don't get the greatest price on them.

When I last checked, WheelMax had them on their site but I'm not sure now. What kind of a budget do you have for the rims, because the RH C2 Evos in 17 x 7 are around 1100-1300 with tires I think.

Well. as far as prices are here, the RH C2's would be about 450 Canadian a piece for me. Terrible price.

I can't really go by US prices - as prices are really different here - and also differ on how direct a line my guy has on the wheel line.

KB798 · 03-22-2006, 03:32 AM

Ah ok. If you're going with rims that are all unison in color, I'd go with 17" ones rather than 18".
