Hey, they might fit - but im just personally not sure.

Don't worry fella, its a bugger what happened with the Motegi kit, but has handsomedanc got back to you abou the 17" alloys he's selling?
He's quite active on another forum so im sure me, or maybe crazy c can get through to him incase he hasn't come on this site since you posted interest in his wheels...

Hey Raw, I'm fairly sure those are Honda Accord alloys and if so they should fit fine. See pics below, they look the same to me -

Good they are so close to you. Can you enquire which Honda they came off? I'd consider going for it for anything around £100

They look nice fair doo's!
Not 100%though as it could be like with s2000 wheels where i need 4x fronts etc.

These are still my most favourable wheels for a 5th gen. I love them.

I know that would be £250 delivered, but when you consider your bidding on the other wheels, if they reached, lets say £80, you then need 4 tyres. So they will probably end up costing you more than the Type R wheels...

Worth a think if you like them anyway

The S2000 wheels are only 16'', the front are the regular 7'' width and the rears are 8'' (I think!). As far as i know the only problem with those 8'' rears is they may cause a prob with the 4WS, but probably not tbh, as the rear wheel steering is minimal. I don't think anyone I know of has tried them.

The Accord ones you're looking at on ebay state they are 7J 17''. So that's the standard 7'' rim width for the Lude and 17's in general. No worries on that one. It's the PCD and offset you want to be wary of, but as we can see them on a lude in the pics above I wouldn't worry mate.

@Matt - Yeah I used to like the EP3 alloys for the 5th gen and I had originally planned to put them on mine. In the end I felt that although they look cool they are a bit too rounded in design for the Lude. They suit the curves of the Civic very well but the 5th is a bit boxy for them imo

Oooo... I just noticed the Accord wheels you posted about are being sold without the centre caps from the looks of it! Rolling Eyes

Cheeky barsteward looks to be selling them in a separate auction.... WTF!? Mad
