Exclamation Looking for rare wheel - HELP!!

Hi, im new on here and am needing help to hunt down an alloy. Iv searched everywhare possible and am struggling to find it, Honda dont make/supply it any longer. I badly bashed one on a sunken man hole cover as i rounded a corner at slightly more than speed limit (shhhh). Its off getting sorted but i want another one sitting spare incase i write one off completely - the 'spare' space savers are utter useless and may aswell not exist!!
My car is a 2003 Civic Sport. These are not the standard wheels, but were on it when i bought it.

Its as picture suggests - an 8 Spoke, 4 stud R16 x 6 1/2

Stampings on back of alloy are:

Coromodora Wheels

Made in Italy

S6A-665D Honda Motor

16 x 6 1/2 JJ OFF 45

CD C85 1-a


If anyone has seen one - or know where there is one for sale, or any suggestions where i could find/buy one it would be much appreciated!!

Cheers. Chief.

No, my local dealer was first port of call. They couldnt source one within main Honda UK dealer network. They are still searching for me but its not looking good.

Re: Looking for rare wheel - HELP!!

Hmm after being on here a couple days im getting the feeling this is an American forum site??

Im in Scotland. I found the 'same' alloys on a site last night, but they had differant markings and came in a differant finnish, there was no contact details or prices on the site - god damn it!!!

Anyways - the hunt continues....

Re: Looking for rare wheel - HELP!!

Your'e going to need a breakers yard in all likelyhood, the Sport got different wheels when it was facelifted in 05. There is a Honda specialist breakers yard in Sheffield, who might be able to help.
