I scored these rims at the local junkyard the other day off a 97 EX and after a little cleanup they should hopefully look real nice replacing my gray stock hubcaps and steelies I have now on my 96 LX.

Unfortunatley there was only one center cap laying around and it's not in the greatest of shape. My problem is I have never seen these these style of rims before and am coming up short at every turn trying to find some center caps online.

Has anyone come across a set of these lately and if so, can you shoot me a link on where you found them. I'm still looking around but so far ebay nor the local CL listings have shown anything. I am hoping to avoid the dealership if at all possible...

"Looks" like regular old 5th gen EX center caps? Tried "car-part dot com" or a local tire rim store - sometimes they keep what they take off a customers car and re-sell them????

 

I thought those were '94 wheels, kinda of a carry over look from the 90-91 Prelude wheels.


Majestic does not list any part number for #4 and #10(discontinued?), had to look it up under 1994 model year to find, nothing under 96 or 97.

But here they are on a '96/'97 coupe.


*shrug*

 

I think it was a factory option for 94-97, 15x5.5. I'm not sure if there were any 15x6 wheels that were port(not dealer) installed besides the '97 SE and 6-spoke V6/ABS wheels.

rim from my accord coupe 96 EX...

 

Yeah I've checked carparts.com and they have nothing in stock. I've also checked about every tire shop within a 25m radius of where I live and nothing. Most of what everyone has is the regular circular style caps similar to what I have seen on the 94 & 95 EX models like this...

There are a couple of listing on fleabay that I found last night but they want dealer prices for them. ($50 & up) with the exception of two on there. One is chrome already and wants $22 for it. The other lists two of them for $25 starting bid with no bids yet. Hopefully if nothing else I might be able to get those. Then I'll be down to one to find

I've also noticed that the rims I have seen like this they are the factory metallic grey. I've never seen chrome rims like this so am wondering now if these were plated after the fact? The only cap I do have looks to be some aftermarket generic since there is no embedded Honda logo. I kind of like the look of the medallion on the cap but can't even find after market caps either. If I can score some OEM grey caps somewhere I guess I can get creative with chrome spray paint which I have never used before. Just really didn't want to turn my $50 rim find into a $200+ deal when it's all said and done.

Thanks everyone for the info btw...
