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. .

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.

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.

i looked up and down all over the net and it seems that ULTRA sells nothing but truck tires and big rims like 22''s and such. where could i find info on this rim?

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.
