Rims

Recently bought my honda and wanting to put something else besides hubcaps.. Ive been looking on Craigslist for some rims and noticed that Honda Si rims with the classic five spoke rim cost a lot more than aftermarket five spoke rim, was wondering if anyone could tell me why this is

Re: Rims

Availability, durability, market, all sorts of reasons.
I know the EM1 99-00 civic SI rims are highly sought after. I sold mine for $400.

OEM tend to be Enkei wheels.

Re: Rims

OEM wheels are very high quality, there is just not as many options as with aftermarket ones. If you go aftermarket just stick with a higher quality wheel like Enkei.
