well the thing is i dont know where they came from, what they are for, how they got here, or if they are even worth putting on my car...

also how do you determine rim width? i tried measuring but there is no way in hell this rim is 8 inches wide....

does anyone know where these came from? they look like fricken rota's or something but they are factory and the brand Fitipaldi (SP?) is engraved on the rim...how much are these even worth? im not looking to sell at this point...maybe in the near future...

 

they're called fitipaldis

they're like really old HFP wheels.

honda/acura used them to up prices for alloy/premium wheels on their cars at dealerships.

if they were 4x100 i'd pay 100 dollars for them... maybe.

There are NOT 2 piece wheels!!!


and what the hell does post count have to do with anything? Take his advise and move on...

 

Post count doesn't mean anything when it comes to actual knowledge. It's not even a good measurement for anything, really.

Keep the thread on topic, or it's going to be locked.

PS. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for those wheels.

 

https://rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html there is some good tips on how to find out the width, offset, etc of a rim in there^^ but then it's way easier to measure w/o a tire but still should work if you are careful... i have no clue. might wanna ask tire rack or to look up old scans of their magazine ads..maybe that dude..travisdtd will chime in.

 

those wheels are back from 1990-1991, i want say that when jackson racing released their supercharger kit for their miata, it was wearing a set of those. the acura logo is probably just a sticker someone stuck on.

iirc, tirerack used to sell those fittipaldis back then. if you can find an old c&d, r&t or mt, you will probably see them in an ad.

or email tirerack....

the acura logo was done with factory quality workmanship...its not just some aem sticker a ricer slaps on his window...

 

Fittipaldi wheels were made by OZ. I used to have a set in the late 80s to early 90s and they came from Tire Rack. They are actually hubcentric wheels.
