IMO.. Don't get them.. Coz for £150ish you can get the Accord Type R alloys (same as the Motegi alloys) like mine.. Cool

They prob take £100:)But yeah I know what ya saying, I been offerd some Motegi alloys but they are just to far to go and get and just out of my price range when i take postage in to account or even driving up there.

I'll keep my eye out for some Motegi alloys on eBay for you mate..

If you ever get new wheels for your prelude then it has to be Motegi(ATR) alloys or aftermarket.. Not OEM wheels from different model.. Cool

I did wonder if i would get frowned upon if i dod get oem from another model, although If I got s2000 alloys then i'd not care as they are quite nice.

S2000 alloys are cool OEM.. But i think you have to get 2 sets of Fronts as the rear S2000 have different offset. Idea

When you said two sets of fronts for s2000 wheels do you mean the tyres or the actual alloys and tyres from the front?

If I was buying a used set of 4 alloys and tyres from ebay then would i just need to get different tyres or are we talking about the actual alloy wheel?

You will need two sets of Front alloys of s2000... I think the rear S2000 alloys have different offsets or something... Idea

I agree Porker!!! The photo below will explain why...

I've always thought my Lude looks cool with those alloys. They were on the car when I bought it, and the guy also gave me the original set of 15" Honda alloys.

It was only at the Scottish mini meet on Sunday that I learned that they're Type R alloys (I'm a newbie), and now reading this thread I've learned they're EP3's. I'm gonna refurbish them when I get off my lazy ass. Will keep them gun metal and add red H centre caps to match my bonnet badge.

You rock Porker, that's another info box ticked in my head!!!

Nitin, when you said the Lude only looks good with Motegi alloys etc, I was like "Oi, you're dissing my wheels man." Glad you agree the EP3's are cool.

I love this forum! Cool
