NSX rims on a Civic?

**Krim** · 07-10-2004 08:43 PM

A few questions guys, dont know if they can all be answered.

Ive been thinking about how new WRX rims look pretty good on older WRXs and even older liberties.

Going along the same train of thought have any of you seen NSX mags or clones for sale in Australia and how much ? (Hopefully they wont be half the cost of my car

)

Would they come in a size that would fit a civic and do you think it would look any good ?

I want to get rims for my civic but dont want chromies. I like the look of the NSX's rims (being the flagship Honda production car) and would like something different also.

yeh i reckon they'll look f**kin mad on a civic...would love to have those on my white em1 coupe....

I also think they would look crazy...

But your also going to be up for some expense getting them to fit, firstly civics have a 4 stud pattern and nsx have a 5 stud pattern, then im guessing them NSX puppies are quite wide, so note sure if you going to have problems there...

but if its them exact nsx rims your after, im saying good luck finding them here!

1) they will cost MORE than your car.

2) they wont fit - wrong stud pattern.

What Steve (Plow) and Mike (VTEC) said.

OT, does anyone KNOW how much a used set of mid 90's NSX stockies cost? *looks at Traders etc*

You could do a 5 stud conversion, a few of the guys who've done the b16a conversion have got the 5 stud on their EGs from the ITRs, enabling ITR brakes to be fitted.
The conversion is a pretty expensive one 1.5k ive been quoted but then again like VTEC said, if you can even fk'n FIND them rims, they will cost u 2 arms and 2 legs, and thats just for one :P

lol, thanks for replies guys.

I knew it wouldnt be cheap for originals and i noticed the 5 stud/4 stud difference, i should have stressed the 'clones' part of my post and said in 4 stud patterns.

I didnt think about the wideness so another thing to think about.

Anyone seen anything similar ?

**SiR JDM** · 08-10-2004 01:32 AM

You could try for a 4 spoke ITR and use those rims? they look sick on a civic..

and before i get flamed ill post a pic and show you all that yes some JDM ITRs are 4 stud... im not sure which tho, perhaps series 1? correct me peeps..

This was taken from a JDM dc2r parked next to me in boxhill.. used my 3 fone so excuse the poor quality

Id kill for these babies on my eg

JDM ITR 4 spokes aren't 4x100, won't fit on civs, still need to do a conversion. I fthat was the case better off getting 5 lugs

**Krim** · 08-10-2004 11:37 AM

Hmm the ITR rims arent quite what im after.

I like the look of the thicker spokes found on the NSX rims.

Im more after the 'show' rather than the 'go' on my civic
