i was wondering if jdm itr rims fit on a 5th gen prelude considering both are 5 lug already. any pics?

 

Yes they will fit. But you're in the wrong forum. Post in the Honda Prelude forum, or the Acura/Honda appearance forum for a better chance at receiving pictures. This is not ITR related.

 

just like in the other thread.

OP check your VIN number, unless it starts with JHDC231....you are in the wrong place.

 

The ITR forum should be made VIN number accessible only. Only those with a valid ITR VIN number can use the forum.

 

x2, i'd even go so far as to every registered member should get a thumbprint encoded access pad to be able to login to the forum.

 

Or a copy of their title sent to GK for an access code number. But I can't beat the thumbprint idea, that's priceless.

 

Nerds.

 

Don't hate.

 

 

No, they won't fit. Only Prelude rims fit on a Prelude and only ITR rims fit on an ITR.

Better luck next time.

 

Only ITR rims fit on an ITR? I've seen plenty of other wheels fit on an ITR besides OEM ITR wheels. I've also seen plenty of 5th gen Preludes with JDM ITR wheels. The lug pattern for both vehicles, 97-01 Integra Type-R and 97-01 Honda Prelude are 5x114.3. You can install the wheels, but fitment won't be so great.

Not saying I agree with the idea of any ITR wheels being installed on a Prelude.

 

lol better luck next time. seen plenty of itr's use 97+ lude wheels for winter. I myself have done this.

 

he was kidding paul! way to blow it

 

Ohhhh. Damn, right over my head! ;(

If this were the case EXPO would have not taken place for the last 5 years. Of the major players in helping make the event happen each year, one of us has an ITR. You younger guys can't quite grasp how this place used to be run.

Owning an ITR doesn't give you a magic wand to be a dick towards others. I'm not saying you were, but what i am saying is that requesting this forum be for ITR owners only to post is extreme. I understand your frustration with posts that don't belong here, but such is life. Kindly inform the OP that he has requested information in the wrong section, report the thread and move on.

For years, ITR owners have been labeled by the way we interpret our status, which to most is elitist ********. If we ever want that to change or this forum to change for the better we have to start handling these types of situations more maturely.

Paul, come to EXPO and you'll leave realizing how influenced this community is by guys who have for years not owned an ITR or in some cases never have. Here again is why we strongly recommend that newer owners come out to ITR specific events to learn what this community is all about.

cool idea

 

damn this went off topic lol. so does it fit or nah? hahah

 

This thread deffinitly has gotten out of hand, espcially considering the fact that after about 18 replys, you still have not been told an answer.

Yes the wheels will fit. Both vehicles follow the same lug pattern, 5x114.3.

 

u already answer his question in the second reply

 

While I agree, people must realize that times change. There is an entirely new breed of Honda owners and some of them seem completely clueless as to even the recent history (pre-01) of the Honda/Acura models.

Honestly, let them suffer a bit of "elitism" when they come in here and ask stupid questions. We should not be expected to spoon-feed them. Moreover, do you really want the ITR forum full of questions like the original in this thread? I don't.

While requiring a badge may be asking a lot, the idea idea still exists (as I mentioned in the other thread) that we don't need the clutter of questions asking what part will fit on their 'Lude beater.

FWIW, someone who truly wants to try an HPDE or the ITR expo would probably know their bolt-pattern is 5x114--or they would do a search and find out.

 

Todd,

I'll agree with you as well. I just feel strongly about trying our hardest to be a big brother to the younger guys. I feel like if we don't, the ITR population is going to become even further apart than it is now.

Take myself for example. I was once the young punk kid who thought he knew everything about an ITR well before i ever owned one. I was sincerely excited to find a community where everyone had one thing in common...the ITR.

I was put in my place real quick when i asked a stupid question, and we all did it. The important thing was that i knew my role as a young punk kid and instead of trying to fight the OGs i resepectfully shut my mouth. From that point forward i opted to sit back and just read for a few weeks, before i honestly felt like i could contribute to the posts.

After attending EXPO for the very first time as a youngster, i quickly realized how accomodating and friendly everyone was, and that their online personality didn't necessarily parallel how they were in person. In fact some real online ******** turned out to be great people that are to this day best friends of mine.

While i'll agree that the way i learned was best, i feel we can suggest our ways by setting an example as well. All i'm saying is that i am going to do my best to help the youngsters around here understand where this community once was, is now, and the direction we would like it to go in the future.

This is the sad, depressing truth. It's getting to the point where 90% of current Honda owners have no idea what kind of research and time that the previous generation of enthusiasts put into the "scene." The overwhelming majority fails to comprehend how much information is readily available, at their fingertips. Now days, most realistic goals are attainable with simple parts selection. No trial and error involved!

There was a time when these cars held a higher value. Enthusiasts spent many sleepless nights, countless hours, and a LOT of money trying to push the boundaries. Many of them moved on to newer platforms or different hobbies as their lives progressed. Why prevent them from posting? For somebody to request an ITR forum, exclusive to current owners, is absurd in my opinion.

 

I bought my ITR new on 01-10-00 and I "joined" this forum (via the split from honda-acura) on 01-26-2000. I've seen it all in here, and this is honestly the worst it has ever been.

I do appreciate the new guys who are now buying the ITR as their dreamcar (middle/high school kids back when the R was out), but some of the posters are just coming in here thinking that the ITR is either 1) riceboys wet dream 2) Nothing more than a GSR with a few more HP 3) A great platform to earn mega JDM showpoints with

I'm just tired of it. Probably saddened more than anything, as this place was once the most technical Honda place on the internet.
