if you wanna be really cool and imporess your honda friends and never get laid then put itr wheels on your seven with some spacers, take it to the local street races or whatevery your plan is

but

if you wanna be original and set your self apart from the crowd (like you said you did, it was probably just big talk though)
don't be lazy and do the complete 5 lug/T2 brakes conversion
in return you will have the entire spectrum of wheels to choose from, and get this, your wheels can actually fit correct and when your out racing celicas and cevics at every stop light (like honda owners do) you will have 4 pot front brakes to keep your dumbass from rearending a innocent person.


who is dumb as rocks now?
the person wanting to put integra wheels on a rear wheel drive rx7.

People wonder why honda owners get bashed so much...they do things the cheap/lazy 1/2 *** way and expect actual enthusiast not to laugh in their face about it.

how original....?

you dislike honda's for all the same reasons as every other person on the planet. That in it self is a ignorant statement that means you are not original.

just two weeks ago I watched a completely stock body/wheels accord put down 498whp!!!! on low boost. I talked with the owner and High boost puts down somewhere around 640whp. But when you really think about it, 600hp in a 96' accord might be the lamest chassis ever to put down 600

I respect that is fast. I respect they have the least competitive F1 operations on the planet, I acknowledge the drivers are idiots, I acknowledge all honda car engine sounds like **** when comparded to all other engines, I know fwd=fail, I like the way the cbr 600 sounds I acknowledge that ricers cannot afford to bastardize a nsx type-r and the nsx shares almost nothing in common with an integra type-r or any of teh crx/del sol/s2k/civic/rsx, all it is a badge, just like a ss cobalt has nothing to do with a chevelle ss.
The car is completely different and developed and aimed at a market ricers should not even think about entering

Whats with the anger?

So let me get this straight, Kosei K1 are alright to put on a Rx-7, and people think they look good. However, ITR wheels are not okay, even with correct spacers because they are from a Honda? Comparing the two, aside from the red H, which he said he would paint over, they look very similar.

K1:

ITR:


Stop heckling the guy. Its not as though he is installing underbody neons. Who cares if the wheel was originally on a honda?

^ Thank you, someone who gets the point of this.

And for notveryhappyjack:
Take a chill pill, or use your sick *** 5-bolt wheels and 4 piston calipers to go get laid.

The whole purpose of this thread was to determine if these wheels would fit well on an FB. I know a lot of you guys are struggling to find a nice set of wheels that fits well, and I thought these wheels would be a low-cost high-value alternative, and I decided to share this thought with you. I know the thought of putting Honda wheels on a Mazda might seem sacrilegious to some, but I assumed that you guys wouldn't care about that since these wheels are decent looking and all traces of Honda can be removed (centre cap).

But it turns out the majority of the people in this thread base their opinion of something on qualitative attributes (honda wheels, from an FWD car, etc) rather than qualitative (offset, width, diameter, weight, etc), and don't care about the fact that we could have found a source of low cost, lightweight wheels that fit the FB well. Whatever.
