Euro Rims - what model are they!!!

[ido09s]

Hey guys

Need some help finding out exactly what model Euro these rims are off. I want to get some for my FD Civic but there are quite a few different variations of Euro wheels and i dont really know what i am looking for. I am sure someone here can help me with a year, model and size of these rims. maybe someone even knows someone with a set for sale..

Euro R rims, also sold on aussie Euro Luxury in 2005, now come on Euro Sport.

You can get them locally from time to time. Awesome wheel

I have seen the wheels on the above pic and they are different to the ones i am after. The ones i am after have straight spokes, the Euro R wheels are kinda fanned out.

[yourfather]

yeah ido, i know, hence why I posted pics of a euro r

[McChook]

That's an 06/07 Euro R, it was the 04/05 Euro R that had the 10 spokes like the DC5R wheels

[akina]

Hmmm... I always thought that those were the Euro R rims.

Anyway, these rims are always in high demand so its going to be pretty hard to get it even tho someone is selling it.

Good luck on buying :thumbsup:

[yourfather]

yeah there must have been 2 different types...
I think for the cash ur gonna fork out for these, you should get some work XT7's or somethign

[ido09s]

I tried some 19's on the car the other night and to be honest was very disapointed with how the car drove. It was to be honest a piece of shite!!!! so i am going to try and find some genuine Honda wheels as i feel they would be a much nicer choice. I know Work are a very high quality wheel, i love my Jap rims :) but i dont really want to fork out $2500+ on rims and tyres for my daily driver

Those rims are off an 05 Euro lux.or 06 sport.They're hard to come by and when you do find them the owners usually want too much for them.BTW they're a nice rim.:thumbsup:

[jimidy]

my mate was lucky in getting a set off ebay for $800

[r-r-redEuro]

those rims posted by yF, is the wheels you get on the lux =/ i dont think its the euroR because if you look closely, the bonnet trim is painted as well.

i got some off ebay last week for about $700

[tony1234]

Those exact rims?Thats a good buy.

[Antonio 84]

Yeah was happy with the price (including tyres). Just anxiously awaiting delivery now :)

[sodaz]

Those are Euro Luxury (previous model)/Euro Sport rims. The Euro R ones are gunmetal in colour, not silver. I changed mine to those on my lowered Euro and they look hot.

[take_no_prisoners]

These rims would look very nice powdercoated gungrey..

I agree, that's the actual colour of the Euro R rims, what you see in the first picture but in Gungrey.

That's the only diff.between the two.the Euro R rims are gunmetal grey,the Euro lux/sport ones are silver.

it is a euro R. 03-05 model euro R's sold in japan had color coded grills + bonnet trim. Also, to distinguish between a euro R and a normal euro, look around the windows. It is black, whereas normal euro's have a chrome border. its just that THAT particular euro has the euro 06-07 luxury rims on it for some reason...

the the 05 model luxury came with the 17" euro R rim, but the colour is slightly different to the euro R rim. what we got was a silver one. The euro R rim is gunmetal in colour. Hardly noticeable from afar, but up close you can tell. Besides that, everything else is still the same.

AFAIK, the euro R/05 euro lux/euro sport rims are made by ENKEI.

i wanna paint my rims to gunmetal, LOL i got the badges, kit everything just need gunmetal rims.

Same here. Planning to get my rims painted once I've got replacement wheels to ride on.

[minircc]

yeah, they are popular rims.. they look like the ones from 02-04 JDM DC5R just different colour

[stephen8512]

the JDM DC5R rims look more like the work CR KAI rims.....i.e the spokes curve OUT more...the euro R rims are straight

[Antonio 84]

My wheels came 2 days ago and I put them on yesterday, very happy with them :) Much better than the stock 16's. I just need to fill those gaps in the arches now.

I was just wondering if anyone had pics of either their or other Euros which have been lowered on the 17' sport/lux wheels?

I can't seem to find any. Thanks in advance.

[akina]

I have, search for mugen sport suspension.

lowered 25mm which looks not lowered at all =.= but if u want go ahead.

[afnorton]

I'm looking for a set of these for my std 07 like the ones below??

[r-r-redEuro]

ask honda ? LOL

[afnorton]

I'd rather not part with the money they want!

[aaronng]

Keep searching and looking. They come up pretty often.

[afnorton]

aaronng, thanks for the tip!

[ido09s]

I havent tried Honda myself yet but am guessing that they would want almost what a set of Volks would cost!!

[aaronng]

Yup, $500 each rim, tyre not included.

[afnorton]

$$$ as I suspected, I'll have to sit back and try and catch someone upgrading.

How about u go unique and get the 5-spoke gunmetals available for the euro.
Ive never seen them on another euro (or honda for that matter), I guess hardly anyone know they are actually available.

At $500 each, I'd rather go for new Work Emotion Kai from our Ozhonda trader:

[afnorton]

Eurodude,I looked at those as an option for the luxury, however we brought the std Euro because we got them down to 33k cash then the dealer feed us alot of rubbish about honda not recommending the larger wheels on the std euro.
Which was strange because Holden didn't say a word when I put 18's on my new SS ute, it had 17's originally.

Long story short, my lady liked the 9 spokes.

[EuroDude]

^lol @ larger wheels rubbish, the overall diameter is only 0.37% difference

True, unless you can get them for half the price ;)
