I'm pretty old compared to a lot of the younger guys here, and while I wont say my exact age, I will say I was in the Honda scene in SoCal back in 1991~1993. A lot of things were new to us back then and the only real tuner parts we had for our Civic Si's (what you guys call EF9 now) were from Mugen and HKS. Anyone remember Cool Guy Raging, Redline Racing, split-second, or cyber racing?

Anyhow, back to the subject. People used to roll on rims that were pretty popular back in those days. They were 15 inch wheels, but I cant remember the name. Gills? Gails? Guilles? Gales? Here is a picture since most of the youngsters here probably will have no clue.

I am trying to find a decent set, but will probably not be succesful. I know many of the younger people will not like them and will probably suggest better new wheels that can easily be obtained now, but the only reason I search for them is for nostalgic reasons. Nostalgia makes you like and do weird things that may not be comprehensible to some. I agree, however, sometimes it's nostalgia that keeps many of us here together sharing common interests in cars like the 88~91 Civic or Old School wheels. Let me know if you guys find anything. Thanks.

 

They are called Gales, and more young kids on H-T than you think are a fan of those wheels. It is possible to find a set, you will just have to keep a good eye out.

 

I've seen those forsale at http://www.recycler.com a few time's you should check it out. Dont worry bro your not that old I was into the honda's back then to . Highend autosports
