just a warning but most of these cheap wheels have a far too low offset to fit on an SE

 

What is the offset on the 1st gen se?

 

38mm, iirc.

 

so too low offset, does that pull the wheels in too far, or push them out too far?

 

too low = 'pushed out too far' they would probaly fit if you had a wide body kit .... but to run a wide body kit and run wheel no wider than you can fit under standard arches with the correct offset is madness.

I have 7" wide wheels on the front of my FB with a 38mm offset and the clearance to the strut is a fraction of and inch ... not a lot of room on the arch side either !

I would suggest 40mm is safer for 7" wide wheels.

earlier cars are going to need somthing closer to 20-25mm offset (i.e a little more of a lip on the outside depending on the design of the wheels)

 

If they were available, I'd put a set on my Nissan truck. That way, I could have the Ronal's for the '83, and rewinds for the truck Best of both worlds

 

Word!

 

lol@konigs

i used to run with Konigs on my turbo S2000, had 2 fracture at a track meet and one began to fail on a dyno, now i stick with BBS or stock rims, KONIG's are garbage

 

i've had no problems with the konigs on my civic. :shrug:

 

therein lies the difference, my old S2000 was putting down 385 whp, cheapo konigs cracked during wheel spin over small bumps. theyre OK for low stress and low power applications, but if you want decent quality go with someone else.

 

well there you go. i sure wouldn't put a cheapo set of wheels on my 385hp car.

 

Those are WATANABE's!!! Even has the signature Watanabe sign right between the two lugnut holes.

BTW, the Konig Rewind's in size 14x7 are only available in -9 offset. You'll need about 1.5" more fender to fit that on our cars.

 

To settle this once and for all: Watanabe RS-8 MADE BY Speed Star Racing (SSR) Watanabe DOES NOT make a 3-piece rim. Got some on my Rx2 in 4x110 PCD.

 

I was going to get some rewinds but i got a great deal on Pansport Ultralights and tires.

 

the only lable on the rim is the Speed Star Racing sticker which has the offset and size/width info, if you want i can snap a pic of it.

how bout these, cost me $70 to polish all four lips and paint all the rims black with high-temp no gloss paint.

 

i wanna get set of those koenigs 15" in bronze for my brown se.
i think it's a good deal and they look pretty sick.

 

Techno Toy sells rewinds for $350 a set.

 

if you want to get a set of these wheels go to club4ag.com those 86 guys have them running out there butt and some have factory conections to get what they need
