hey guys, i have a complete 5 lug for sale with everything ready for the swap including steel braided brake lines for a 96-00 civic. the tires and wheels are in good shape, about 95% tread on tires.. and the wheels are powdercoated black... im asking $1800, does this sound fair? jdmhondaparts sells it for $2000...

 

that sounds about right, except some people may not want powder coated wheels and prefer one of the honda colors.

but most people wouldnt pay that much.

 

yea, but the white wheels were scratched, so i had them sanded and smoothed, then powdercoated.. they look good.. and 1800 seemed fair to me...

 

most of the time they sell for 1,500 - 2,000, with good tires i'd say your price is fair.

 

sounds fair and it makes me wish I had 1800 to get it... I hate being broke.

 

truthfully, that's a high price. I wouldn't pay more than 1500 with rims..unless they are the JDM ITR wheels..
in that case, maybe you could get the price that you are asking.

Also, JDMhp.com and any other retail website is going to have higher prices than someone selling them used

 

does your 5 lug come with EVERYTHING. every damn bolt.. because the some parts of the 5 lug conversion use the anodized bolts from acura, and those are like 5-6 bucks EACH lol.

brake booster, master cylinder, 99-00 civic si proportioning valve? the ITR prop valve wont work because of the ABS

 

everything.. bolts and all...

 

infamousrrh also has a five lug conversion with itr wheels and tires including everthing

 

good looking out jonas
hay whats the going rate for the 99+ si coupe proportion valve?

 

its like 70 bucks on hondaautomotiveparts.com:

i wouldnt pay 1500 for one, i got mine for 1200. they are all over the parts trader these days

 

dang, thats dirt cheap. i hope thats not hot (not saying that it is.. if it's not..then you either got a good deal, or that ITR owner is an idiot)

 

I paid the same amount after all is said and done...but 1200 is a friggin deal with rims and tires..you have to admit.

1500 is the going rate with rims/tires.

 

heres what i posted in that other thread:

average 5 lug with the wheels go for 1500.
i then sold my si wheels/tires for 350
i then sold the ITR shocks/springs/sway bar for 300 since they dont fit on 96+ hatches (besides the sway bar + mount kit)
i then sold my old drum set up for 100.
350+300+100=$750? doing this from the top of my head..
1500-750= $750 after all is said and done

$750 for some nice brakes, for some nice wheels, and an extra lug that is 75% for looks.. 25% for help in autox..yes it reduces stress on the other 4 lugs slightly. but those with the 4 lug are going to hate and say "wtf yeah right.. blah blah".

 

yea the guy that i bought it from was complete **** head, he even threw in the sway bar, front upper strut tower bar, and the radiator with fans and shroud.

 

maybe he wanted the usdm ford 6 lug conversion

 

the prices went up for the proportion valve

 

there;s a price differce between the years 99 and 00 for some odd reason the 00 prop valve is cheaper

 

you know you dont need them if you take off the abs sensors on the models that dont come with abs brakes... then you wont need that stuff. just incase anyone was wondering.. works fine like that.

 

what are you talking about? you dont NEED them, but you'd WANT them to get the full effect of the 4 wheel disc braking.

si prop valve is made for 4 wheel disc braking.. the cx/dx prop valve is NOT.
believe me, i've had the 5 lug conv. with the cx/dx prop valve and it's not even close to the potential

 

right, and i have them... but, you dont need them.. thats all i was trying to say... chill out man... i was just making a point..

 

chill out? i didnt even cuss or anything. i was just making a point

 

sorry jonas, no offense bro... just saying it isnt needed.. i just want to get rid of the 5 lug, i could use the money for some other stuff... so if anyone knows anyone who is interested, i will let it go for 1650... just let me know.. i gotta let it go soon...

 

there's more potential with the prop valve , makes a difference .
jonas , what year did you get of prop valve 99 or 00 and was it straight bolt on ?
