well I did it... new wheels on the way...

well, after much debating, I've ended up selecting these wheels to go on my car, and they're on the way...





16x7 16lbs, going to go on the car with 205/45-16 Yoko AVS ES100's..

the whole deal should be on the car by next week, so I'll be anxiously waiting (and not spending more $$) until then....

Now I just need a CF hood to match the wheels

Very nice. I saw wheels like that on a red older model Acura Integra (the boxy one, not the 4-lamp redesign recently replaced by the RSX) and they looked gooooood.

yup.. dual pattern 4x114.3 for the older accords and preludes, and 4x110 for civics....

thankfully the 4x114.3 also happens to fit the GSL-SE...

yeah, I know they are ricer wheels, but they do the job.

Simmons can make they're wheels to any PCD and Offset you'd care to pay for.

They are expensive though.

BTW, very nice wheels. Can't wait to see some pics.

hey thanks guys... I'm going to have a rough time waiting for the next few days... (nope not married either, and my girl's on the forum anyway, so she wouldn't care )

The wheels cost $480 shipped from AFS motorsports, so it's not as bad as you think, and the ES100's were on sale at tirerack for I think $76 /ea.. I'll have to go look to see the exact #'s

According to you, they would fit the 4x110 found on the 12A cars?

Or is the 12A cars 4x100? I dunno.

doh! I typoed it...

12a cars have the obscure 4x110.

Civics etc have a common 4x100, which is the 2nd pattern on those wheels. Sorry for the confusion.
