SE wheels, more? i don't see that many

ok guys. i went to tirerack.com and they have a whopping 7 wheels for the se. anyway, i was wondering what wheels you guys know about. i'm looking at something like the ssr competitions. a black/carbon/anthracite 5, 6, or 7 spoke with polished lip in a 15". i just kept hearing about how the se had so many more wheels available and i'm not really seeing it. hell, at least the "less popular" bolt pattern has kosei's that fit. those wheels rule.

hey you finally got an se suspension?

instead of searching for specific rims they recomend,search for 4x4.5 bolt pattern,
since its the same as 4x114.3

fox box mustang rims fit

just make sure the bolt pattern is right and the offset is close.

and your good to go,
on ebay alone you can dig up literally hundreds of rims that will fit fine.

most universal four lug rims "4x100 + 4x4.5" will fit

that means any ricer with a civic thats selling universal 4 lug rims will fit

is the 2nd gen 4 bolt pattern on the N/A the same as on an SE? My buddy is selling a slick set of rims off his ricemobile ReX circa 1987.

Thats my understanding (they are the same),

I however have no first hand experience with this.

i believe anything that fits the old rear-drive Toyotas (old Cressida, Gen II Supra, Celica, etc.) will fit the SE ...
and the offsets should be pretty close.

hope this helps
