The rims I'm looking for have been discontinued according to my neighbor who actually built my car and is a 92 white eg hatch vx model in Hawaii that was featured in superstreet 2006 February's issue. The name of the wheels I'm trying to get if at all possible are the Desmond autostrasse zephir wheels and it's featured in a white w/blue lip. If anyone out there can help me find a way to get a hold of these I will forever be in debt to you!

Sorry, but your chances of getting these rims are EXTREMELY rare. My best bet would be to post wanted ads on sites, and drive to all local rim shops. These are HOT rims, if you get some, your very lucky!!

-I usually stick with Motegi rims, their very good wheels.

I'll try to contribute something useful for anyone who finds this thread while searching in the future.

Rare wheels, especially older rare wheels, often command very high price tags; supply and demand. Not only that, but once wheel ****** get a hold of an exceptional set, they rarely ever sell them.

The classifieds on Honda-Tech, Wheel-****** and Stanceworks are good sources if you're looking for a set from a private seller. ICBmotorsports and VR wheels are good sources as well, and you can find lots of other JDM parts importers on google.

If you do get a set, try to buy at least one extra wheel just in case of a bend and guard the centre caps with your life, because they're impossible to find and a common target for theft.
