Icon2 Need help identifying some rims

I was given three rims to sell and none of them seem to be from the vehicles the guy who gave them to me told me they are from. There are two which are definitely Honda, and one which I have no idea what it's from but I was told it's from a 79 Accord.

Rim #1:




Rim #2:




Rim #3(There are no markings on this rim other than a number here and there. It appears to be a 13"):

Those wheels (not "rims") are as follows:

#1. Honda Prelude (1992-1993)
#2. Honda Accord (1992-1993)
#3. Unsure.

Thanks for the info, maybe the third rim isn't even a Honda rim. Also, I thought they're known as rims when they don't have a tire on them and known as wheels when they are assembled with the tire?

The "rim" portion of a wheel pertains to JUST the outer barrel (as seen on the carpet in the following picture).




When you bolt a wheel face to a rim/barrel, you get a wheel. When you put a tire on it, you get a complete wheel/tire assembly.
