Default are these wheels oem honda (86 civic)

UPDATE....5-31-09

i wet sanded the center cap and it turns out they are made by a brand named ULTRA.





.................................................. .................................................. ................................................


i bought this 86 4dr civic and the guy said his mom got it off the lot in 86-87 with these rims on it. they look like enkie 92 knockoffs but i cant be sure. there is no code or markings in the wheel that helps. did 86 hondas come with aloys or steelies. i figured this answer would be best answered in here. sorry for the big pics but im posting this with very limited time. thanks guys/gals. i love all hondas new and old. .











update....

IDK if they were a "factory" option, but many dealers offered them back in the day.

The ones to look for are 13x6.

Those are not the OEM optional mesh wheels or Enkei's. Maybe a knockoff brand?

oh i see. so they may have been offered by any dealer but not by honda. these rims are in perfect shape. they are 13's. i wet sanded the chrome lips. its night and day. i will post pics of the rims cleaned up. i think these rims would look great on a white or black crx.

The factory optional mesh's have a H in the center cap, and the Mesh pattern is 3D. Not flat like the Enkie 92's.

We bought an 88 Civic new in 1987. And prior to that, have been eyeing Hondas. I will say they are NOT OEM and will say as far as they were NOT offered as a dealer installed OEM wheel.

The ONLY OEM "gold" Honda wheels were on the 88-89 Black Integra Special LS.

As we all know, the dealer can sell anything. But I'll stick my neck out to say these wheels are not OEM Honda.

i agree sir. still i am quite fond of them. the guy swore up and down they have been on the car for 20 yrs. if that be the case i would say that these are rare even if they're knockoffs. i will try to finish cleaning up the chrome lips and post pics. they shine suprisingly well when wetsanded. i want to buy a crx just for these wheels.lol thanks for all of your imput.

Wrong again, check the older (late 80s/early 90s) Honda/Acura accessories catologs. They have had multiple styles of OEM optional wheels that color for alot of Hondas. I have the catologs to prove it.

hey could you post a few pics of the catalog. i would love to see some of the options that were available back then. is this rim in your catalog? most likely not. none the less i dont see myself selling them. they look very oem and thats what i like about them.

Those are for the 84-87 Civic hatchback. Dont know why it says "Civic All" on the box since they dont work with the wagon or sedan.

Ive had a set in 2 of the 3 84-87 Civics hatchbacks that Ive own. If I were buying them Id pay about 40, maybe 50.

lol thank you kind sir. you have just made my day. were your rims made by ULTRA? i just noticed you said they dont fit on a sedan. the last pic above shows them on an 86 sedan. go figure
