Icon2 SI rims?

Wuddup fellas,
I'm lookin at getting the si rims for my 93 eg. Originally I thought that they were the infamous fat fives, but someone else told me that they were the blades. Can anyone shed some light on this ridiculous noob question?

The bad part about that is that when I search under 93 eg si rims, all I get is pics of the 7 spokes. They look hot for sure, but not what I'm looking for. It never really came to mind, but I have seen the egs with bot the fatties and the blades.

Blades only come on 98+ GSRs.

The 94+ GSR has had a few wheel designs before that. Fat Fives/Hammers. Daisies. I think there may be one more.

The original 93 Si wheels are 14'' steelies with Hubcaps.

The 99-00 Si wheels are 7 spoke.

Google GSR blades.
Google GSR fat fives.
Google 99-00 civic Si.

Click on images.

That they, that they do, but I'm really wanting to keep it original..
Anyone know where I can get a mint set of hubcaps, also looking for good tires. The 14's are a little too low for low pros, but I don't want the whole donut look. anyone know a good brand

I want the tires to poke out just outside the fender well area. Can this be done with a camber kit.

I met a guy at the gas station and I asked him

"how much did you pay for your Si wheels"

he said "$250"

I said "each?"

He said "no for all of them"

I said "what!? Where did you buy them from?"

He said "my homie"

Doing that with a camber kit is a horrible idea. It will look stupid as hell. The steelies make the stock tire size suck into the fender SOOO far. You'd have to have a ton of positive camber to make this work.

Why exactly do you want to keep it so original? Why don't you just change the wheels allready. You want good low profile tires and you want them to stick out of the fender a bit, and you hate that the original wheels are steelies....but you want to keep it all original? Doesn't make sense.

Buy some wheels.

If you want to keep it looking original for car shows or some other WEIRD *** reason....wheels come off with only 16 nuts being turned a few times.

$200? Damn, there was a couple people asking $250 for Si rims and I thought those were dang cheap.

There's a rim that came optional on one of the 96-00 Civics. I have no idea what it's called, but I think they were 5 spokes. A guy at school has them and they look really nice on a 99 blue Si

There was "mini" fat fives that came on sols in 14 inch also

Ps you dont make your tires flush with the fender with a camber kit .... Use whel spacer and extended lugs
