Hello Guys,

I work at Honda Dealer in Parts. I have a custermer that owns a 2005 s2000 that wants too drive his in the winter!!

I am having a hard time finding some steel wheels in the 17 inch size for this car since honda does not offer them!!. front 17x7 rr 17x8 1/2.

I am wondering if any of you in your travels have come across any?

thanks for your help.

Eric

 

just mount snow tires on those 17's. another option is to buy a set of 00-03 wheels and mount snow tires on them. i have not seen steel wheels for our cars

 

 

i see steel wheels..what car are they from?

 

5th Gen Honda Prelude - 16"x6.5

Eric

Do you know what Salt does too Alloy Rims, plus all the dirt from the roads when they put dirt down.

I for one would not be driving this in the winter myself. Not on the snowy crappy days.

Again thanks for the replies Guys

Later

 

Do you have the part Number on thos rims? What are you Running for Tires?

I am wondering if the 02-05 Accord v/6 Rims would work also? Wish we had a s2k at work too Try some on. I know the bolt pattern might be good. It's the center I am worried about. emmmmmmmmm Thinking thinking!!

Bye

so rears would be off, can't see that being good

 

I'm running 205/50/16's on all 4 corners. No problems whatsoever. Sure, you may not get that high performance traction you'd get with the stock size wheels, but are you going to be driving that agressive anyways?

This is my second winter using these tires on this car and I think its a perfectly safe setup.

 

and by the way.

THe s2000 centrebore on the front is 70mm, rear is 64.5.

 

03_AP1,

Just wondering. I have looked at the 5th gen prelude. They only came with Alloys here in the states. Those wheels look like 03-04 V/6 lx Accord wheels that we have here?

I messured the lug holes I got 2 1/2 inches center too center. Then the center Hole just under 3 inches.

Thank you,
Eric

 

They're not Honda wheels. I bought them at Wal-Mart (40 bucks a piece).

THey are sized for a 5th gen prelude, but will fit an s2000 as well.

Bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 - same as the prelude, s2000, accord.

 

5th gen preludes eaither come with the blade wheels or the spoked type SH wheels. I got a set of blades that im willing to part with. I can strip the paint off of them and they would be blingin.

lol, they're for the snow season, rear traction will be a problem anyways I don't think handling at the limit will matter
