You've got to be kidding me. I'd like to know what Honda you're going mount those on....especially with a 5x112 bolt pattern.

Wrong, knock offs are being made of it and are drilled to 4x100.

What i posted are knock-offs.

Why would this topic be locked? It's a serious thread, i'm sick of the 15 or smaller wheel look, it was cool for a few years awhile ago when it was a rarity, now everyone is doing it.

So some company is making replica Audi A8 20" wheels in a 4x100 pattern? Now you've sparked my curiousity. I'd like to see a Civic or Integra with these. Maybe it will be the next big trend.

Wrong, firstly, my car didn't come with "OEM" wheels, secondly, 17s have been proven in AutoX results to take times down over 15s and 16s.

Don't believe me? Find the article.

um.. nothing is wrong with running larger wheels. I run 17x10 +12 and want 18x10.5 -24 inch rims. just seems like you're putting the wrong wheels on your honda.

Haha, have you not noticed what wheels were popular in 1990? BBS, Panasport, Watanbe...the same style wheels people are running now...

Besides, i was into cars at a young age playing old school racing games that had Japanese influenced car design, it's the same look people are doing now that was done 10+ years ago.

MSPaint chopped, w00t

Pardon my yellow tinted headlights and missing corner, it's the only picture i had at that angle. The tint looked better when the car was white, it was removed not long after the picture, my corner light fell out when i hit an opossum.
