Has anyone tried to put 4-bolt ITR Wheels on their 1st Gen?

Has anyone tried mounting a set of the JDM Honda Integra Type-R wheels, with the 4x114.3mm bolt pattern onto their 1st gen?



I think these wheels look perfect for the FB, aside from the "H" in the easily removable centre cap. You can pick up a set of these easily for around $300 around here. What do you guys think?

You can try it on the GSL-SE, it won't fit the 12A models.

Won't the offsets be all wrong since they're for FWD cars?

Most likely, but you can run wheel spacers to make it work.

Should work with spacers and adapters.

^ You have a Civic VX then. These wheels are similar, but if you refer to the first post in the thread, you'll see that I'm talking about the 4x114.3mm Integra Type-R wheels, not the 4x100mm Civic VX wheels. ITRs were 4-bolt for one year, then they went to 5 bolt. Who's as dumb as a box of rocks now?



Not...

The FWD 323GT wheels on my GSL-SE are the same dimensions as the OEM wheels; same width, same offset. The offset may not be ideal, but then again most of the wheels on the market come in FWD offsets that work well on the FB. Worst comes to worst, I'll pick up a set and if they don't fit, sell them to buddy who laps his 323GT.

if those are jdm itr type r rims then why is there a acura emblem on them acura doesnt exist in japan that should be ur first clue as for fitting them on ur rex test a 15" civic steelie with e tire you want to run and check clearance lock to lock and the caliper envolope, i wount get in to what the rim really is from that you post but i am certain of whats on my civic and it looks nothing like the vx rims you post or the ones on my sister's eg hatch

ps osakajdmmotors are scammers my first vtec swap came from them it was a jdm sir II b16,guess what they sent me a usdm b16 pile of **** that had a warped head and 0 compression on three cylinders, and i tried to get a refund and was told to hire a attorney or get lost, in the end i won lol

No. So I think that if you do, you will be the 1st.

you would be ghey to have a red honda symbol in the center cap on your rx7, if you put them on please don't post any pictures and then consider selling your 7
type-r =fail,they will never have style or class to anyone except 16-19 year old virgins, speed has been proven but it has also been proven from everysingle other car on the planet, people own honda as a dd because they get over 30mpg and anyone expecting more should never touch a 7

Wow... another Honda hater. If you know anything about Motorsport, you would not bash Honda's as bad. They are just as successful as Mazda, in terms of motorsport. Type R is the best FWD car ever made and the NSX Type R is a competitor with Ferrari in its time.

But I don't know why this guy is putting Civic wheels on a FB... There are many 4x114 wheels that will look great on a FB

Calm down. They might look okay, like the old K1 wheels. He already said he would repaint the center cap.

Pros:
- cheap
- readily available
- lightweight
- 15x6"
- strong (OEMs have more stringent requirements than aftermarket wheels, which means they are stronger than your Chinese made wheels)
- decent looking
- possibly well fitting
- one of the few 4x114.3 wheels available
- more then likely made by Enkei (like the Civic VX wheels), which is also an OEM supplier to Mazda.

Cons:
- REMOVABLE Honda Emblem
- ewwwww omg ther frum a hunda yer stoopid!!!1! (not really a con, unless you're a shallow, ignorant, brand-*****, with no appreciation for decent wheels)


So yes, I'm the retard for wanting to put these stupid Honda wheels on my car. I guess true car enthusiasts now choose form over function.

Wow, another Honda hater... how original. Look, I dislike Honda for many of the same reasons other people do (mainly the people who drive them), but I have an appreciation for the technology and engineering that even their bottom of the barrel cars posses. If you can't see through the bullshit surrounding not only the Type-R branded cars, but the VTEC engines (like the played-out "OMG VTAAAAK" 'jokes' that all the internet kids constantly repeating) and realize the true marvel of engineering that they are, then you are truly ignorant and are no better then the 16 year old ricers you bash in your post.

This topic is done... I guess I'll just find a set of Enkei mesh wheels and throw those on, I don't think anyone has done that yet, and it should really set me out from the crowd.

haha another stupid/funny thread, oh well, just an input i think the wheels would look cool if they were painted black and you definitely took off that awful symbol...ewwww.....
not much of a honda fan, don't know much about honda's and honestly i'm a better man because of it :P, i do however like some of the body styles, of course S2k, Del Sol, and the hatchback civic, oh and the CRX...i guess i'm mainly oposed to FWD cars..idk. if i was given any of them, i would drive them because they are great economical cars (civics mainly) but that's as far as the love for them goes from my part. no tunning except on the s2k...who wouldn't?
