Cool, looks like a decent price for the alloys, you going to refurb them? From the photo it looks like you could poss get away with refurbing just the one.

How much did the centre caps set you back? Cheeky seller! Rolling Eyes

good on ya for being a bit different, I quite like those wheels

very common to see ep3 rims on a prelude these days, for a reason they look good, but nice to see something different

Aye hope it's not another body kit nightmare time etc:)

Motegi's would have been nice but every feckers got em i suppose and could not get them, i got the alloys for about 90 i think and centers for £12, centers are silver so it will be ok as is, might get em done with blue H on them as i want blue honda badges as well.

I dropped off the Motegi kit today and the guy was not to worried about the small cracks so not to bad.

How big are the wheels? width and diameter? It should be on the back of the spokes.

Ah that's a shame mate. Usual costs for complete refurb are about £40-60 a wheel. You may want to think about getting them all done in another colour too?

If I remember correctly bud, the wheels you bought are 17 7J. So you will need a set of 215/45/R17 tyres that are speed rated for the car, 91W I think is about the right speed rating.

You can also go for 205/45/R17's or 225/45/R17's. The greater the width of the tyre the more grip but also the more friction, and therefore more rolling resistance and worse fuel economy. I went in the middle with the 215/45/R17's and they have worked out fine.

Now once you've made that decision you'll have to decide which brand and model of tyres to go for.... and that's a whooooole n'other kettle a fish!!! Rolling Eyes Laughing
