Has anybody ever seen 2007 CRV 17" steelies on a RD1? I keep seeing them pop up in STI forums and they look pretty sick painted. I'm thinking they would be a cheap solution for a wheel setup til something else comes along! Thought? I realize steelies are heavy too, I don't care.

crueric

These are the wheels...

Looks like painted steel wheels...I don't think it's going to fool anybody.

If you like how it looks then go for it.

crueric

Yep. If I can find any! Online they are $300+ for a set of four w/o tires... Just wait until they pop up locally...

crueric

I like the look of bigger/higher offset steelies. Haha

qwrty

i dont mind using one.....
ive seen several gen1 V on gen3 steelies and they look GREAT! ive been monitoring craigslist
for sometime now and see if i could get a set for cheap!

crueric

I know right? It just takes the right person that doesn't want them anymore.

Where are you from?
I might get rid of my set in the near future.

i saw one in philly craigslist and allentown, but when i was ready to take the trip, good thing
the owner gave me a heads up that it was sold already locally..same crv owner, i guess it wasnt
meant for me that time.... but hey this steelies are for steal! 17x7.5 if im not mistaken... its a good
somewhat upgrade for the stock 15" we have on gen1..

^ ppl could also use the Chrysler 300 steelies . They come in 17's and 18's ! ! .LOL
+ they r cheaper than the crv steelies .

qwrty

hows the offset and center bore??

boliviansol

17x7 +24 ( not 100% sure on the offset)
18x7.5 +18 its a police package

qwrty

i dont think putting broken size rims/tires set up is ok on our Vs.... it might affect the rt4wd system??
alo i might snag a set in a day or two... im just negotiating it,LOL!
ill just keep it in my storage and look for a good set of tires for it!

crueric

wow. I forgot about this discussion! qwrty did you ever try any on any of your v's? I still haven't seen them on gen1 so far...

crueric

This has certainly been awhile! How much did you sell your steelies for? I live way up by Canada! haha. I'd really need to find some near North Dakota otherwise I'd be buying alloys online... I appreciate the offer though!

I just run 18" '11 ralliart aluminum rims in the winter... lol.

crueric

^^^^I smell some sarcasm... haha

LDForget

Summer :



Winter pre winter tires :


Winter post winter tires pre full height :


havent lifted it up high enough yet. Gonna raise my coilovers some more, and in a few weeks buy some taller springs for lift in the winter.

boliviansol

^ LOL @ the positive camber on the rear

LDForget

Its out a little, but not very much. Looks a lot worse in the pictures. Still gotta take all my washers out. Might do that when i raise the V.

They are a dime a dozen around here (still used at least to 2011, 11 CRV I worked on yesterday had them). The CRV's around here use Chrysler steel wheels for snow tires.

Edit: In fact, one just pulled in with Chrysler wheels

crueric

in Bismarck, ND there aren't a ton of people dropping, lifting or rolling 20"s on Newer CRV's this= No locals selling any type of newer CRV rims...
