Default New rims, stock tires.

So here is the problem, I want to be able to use the tires that I have on now, (on stock 14 inch rims), but get some new rims. So basically i just want a nice looking replacement. Does anyone know where I can start or have any suggestions. I was thinking the junkyard for some honda civic with some rims, as long as it it 4 lug. sry for the confusing wording.

most civics i know have a 4x100 bolt pattern......

accords are 4x114.3 unless its a 7thgen, where-in you would have a 5x114.3.......and no 7th gen i know of came with 14" rims from the factory.....

so if your post dont make sense then fix it.

Check a wheel/tire shop. Or, try websites like tirerack.com

Although I think 1993 is the first year for the 114.3mm circle. That's your screen name, but you didn't actually say that's the car you're talking about.

i cant imagine any rim from pep boys being 'nice'

IMO, either learn to love your steelies w/ stock hubcaps or upgrapde to EX wheels, which are 15 inch.

Yep, I dont think i've seen a single 14" alloy wheel for our bolt pattern.

The HX wheels for the civics are 14" but obviously won't fit.

alright thanks for your help. I probably will go +1. I was able to find some black 5 spoke wheels for like $602. Im thinking when I have to get new tires I will switch over.

withj that low of a offset it should be able to clear the knuckle. your problem lies in fender rubbing. but roll that **** and stretch some 195 tires on it! haha
