Default Need OEM rim specs (86ish CRX Si)

Can any of y'all help me out. I'm trying to find out:

1) What year and model the below rims came from.
2) What is the offset of the rims



Any help would be great. PM or email to jd_2_be[at]hotmail.com

Is this incorrec then?</TD></TR></TABLE>Well, yes and no. He probably measured the width from outside edge to outside edge which would be about 6" but that is ABSOLUTELY THE WRONG WAY TO MEASURE THEM! The stated width of all wheels is the width between the beads, which is usually about an inch narrower than the outer width. So those are really 5" wide, I mean it's cast right there into the outer bead of the wheel where anyone who even glanced at the wheel would see it. Did he really not know how to measure them or was he deliberately deceiving you? I have no idea, but I can tell you that this happens ALL THE TIME on ebay.

***FAIR WARNING! If you are buying wheels on ebay, ALWAYS make sure you know which width the seller is stating! Many ebay sellers deliberately state the outer width to make the wheels sound more attractive and expensive. You have been warned!***
