I just picked up a 1993 Prelude that I plan to run in SCCA autoX. The stock alloy wheels on this Prelude are 15x6.5" +55mm, with a 4x114mm bolt pattern, and they weigh a whopping 22lbs(!?!?). I want to replace them with something lighter for racing. But the problem is that, in order for them to be legal for my class, the wheels must be the exact same size as stock, and have an offset within +/-7mm of +55mm. The Accord is pretty much the only other car with 4x114 wheels and an offset around 50mm. Were there ever any 15x6.5" 4x114 Accord wheels?

Thanks,
Andrew

 

The majority of 4th and 5th generation accord came with wheels in the bolt pattern. For less money get a set of Konig kolors in 15 x 7, considering they weigh 12 lbs each and are wider, they should make a good choice. That and they are $102 each, you can't go wrong. Except for those bad colors.

 

i think your best bet would be the 94-96 lude wheels, they were a bit lighter @ around 17 pounds, or else something aftermarket.

These wheels are also really cheap... I got a set off ebay for $200.

 

Yeah, I know about the lighter 94-96 Prelude wheels. But even 17lbs is pretty heavy for 15x6.5s. It looks like my only real options are 17lb Prelude 94-96 wheels for maybe $200 or custom order a set of 15x6.5 +48mm 10lb Volks in the size I need at $1200+. I was hopinmg that there might be some lighter Accord wheels in the same fitment because it looks like there is no real middle ground.

If you don't mind rotas, they come in 15x6.5 I just bought a set for my accord.

 

the JDM integra Type R came in 4x114. Those wheels look lightweight...simple 5 skinny spoke.

 

the 96 ITRs but they are only 15x6 with i think a 38mm offset which almost requires spacers. when mine were shipped to me they were 14lbs a piece in box.

 

Yeah the 96 Spec ITR wheels are a good idea. But I asked on the ITR board, and they said they are only 6" wide too. So those won't work for my purposes.

And I wish I could use some cheap, light Rotas. But those would not be legal for me either because they must have an offset of between +62mm and +48mm in order to meet class rules.

Why such strict offset rules? What's the point?

 

steelie are out of the question if you looking for lightweight

how about the 5th gen ex 7spoke design? how much they weight??
they are pretty easy to come by, about 300 buck or so..

another set i could think of is the accord se rims, judging by the way it was casted, they are lighter than the ex 6th gen rims and they are the same size.


itr 96spec is around 13 lb per piece, i weighted them on my scale before, too bad you would like the width.

 

are you running stock class?

konig makes some 15x6.5 ...not sure what offset they are

also you can look http://www.motegiracingrims.com/ but i'm not sure what your budget is....

umm....ebay works too
