Rim Help I need help deciding what Rims i want to get for my 2001 Civic LX Sedan. It uses 4 Spokes so i have no idea where to find them because i go to Tirerack.com and the rims they show me are all 5 spoke... I have never installed Non-Factory Rims on a car and im pretty sure the 5spoke rims dont fit into a place where a 4spoke once was can you guys help me out. I also would need new tires with them. I know i might be asking for a bit much but it would greatly help me because i am truly lost. If you guys could stick to using Tirerack.com that would be awesome. The car has 14" Stock but i wouldnt mind going up to like 16" just nothing that would require a lowering of the car. One Last thing if i wanted to switch from 4 spoke to 5 spoke how would i go about doing that? -Thanks |
Re: Rim Help most aftermarket whhels have a universal fit something like 4×100-4×114 just make sure its 4×100 check around here http://www.wheelfire.com/mobile/inde...3422645a645255 http://www.wheelsnext.com/ http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/ |
Re: Rim Help ohhh ok thanks |
Re: Rim Help do you mean you have 4 lug? like the number of nuts holding the wheel on? spokes are just the rim design, it doesnt matter for anything except looks. |
Re: Rim Help oh snap, yes i have 4 lugs and most websites ive seen dont sell rims with a 4 lug design |
Re: Rim Help Check out Rota.... They sell a lot different wheels for our cars!! Just google 'rota wheels for 01 civic' and you will be overwhelmed with the results!! Have fun... |

a lot of the time you might see websites that have pictures of 5 lug, but if you check the description they may be available in 4 lug. Just make sure to get 4x100. 4x100 and I think the offset has to be between 38 and 45 .. I think. |
Re: Rim Help I have both patterns on my rims, BTW. 4 and 5 lugs. I rarely see any rim with less than 4 spokes - they scare me, too much stress in each spoke... and it makes the rim weaker too. anything that hits the rim will have more leverage to bend or crack the rims. |
Re: Rim Help It's too bad they don't make these in 17s http://www.chromespinners.com/images...gana_Black.jpg Lol EDIT: Umm, how do I make it smaller? |
Re: Rim Help bbbbbwaaahahaha! good one! don't worry, the site resizes the pics automatically |
Re: Rim Help I'd Rock those ahahah |

Re: Rim Help Add [IMG ] in the front, [ /IMG] in the end, no spaces. Quote thefataleptic picture post and you will see how to write them |
Re: Rim Help Those glass rims are pretty badass... I imagine they are bulletproof and probably stronger than aluminum ;) |
Re: Rim Help hunh, i see where the problem is now - forgot to tell you to delete the [ URL] [/ URL] from them... URL means it is a link, IMG means it is a direct image link |

Re: Rim Help Thanks Sdaidoji! Forum stuff always confuses me :P This is my first forum since I was in early highschool, never really got into it. (I just finished my 2nd year uni now). And ya, those glass ones are supposed to be extremely strong. I saw them YEARS ago on the discovery channel and this thread reminded me of them. The guy made them for exotic sports cars and stuff, and then they slammed the brakes you could see the red hot rotors so nicely! "The D'Vinci Forgiato Radurra wheels are made from polycarbonate and are totally transparent where one would expect to see spokes. The wheel on display featured 1.5-inch think polycarbonate...each wheel costs $2000" Those second rims, now that i notice it, is the same company as the glass ones. |
Re: Rim Help West Coast Customs actually put the glass wheels on a Tron car they build for Disney. |

Re: Rim Help Well, I guess if you figure a set of Veyron tires cost $20,000 a set, $2,000 a rim aint so bad :P |
