wassup my H-Tech brethren...
with the unfortunate advent of the fall season, I am apprehensively dreading the annual mounting of the snow tires. So, question is, where can I find a cheap set of aftermarket or steel wheels (crv??) to mount the snow tires to, so I can save my already hurtin' stock wheels from more abuse?? Thanks for the help.

 

anybody??

 

accord steelies/alloys?? heavy as fug though and not sure about the offset

 

I actually have a set of extra wheels if you are interested. They are 5 lug subzero copies or something like that in 15x6.5. Bronze color. I got them extra when i bought my R about 6 months ago. Ill try to find pics if you like.

 

ebay

 

I believe Tire Rack sells winter packages consisting of steel wheels, wheelcovers and snow tires.

I don't know if that's in the price range you're looking for, but you may want to check it out.

Winter 0wNz!
Summer sucks!

 

I have a set of CRV steelies with Pilot Alpin's on them... They were also just about to go on sale, less than 3,000 miles on 'em..

PM me for sale information.

At any rate, the weight is not that amazingly different and certainly not as heavy as some of The utmost Gaudy wheels that I Have seen mounted.

They are 6 1/2" wide but, I can't seem to see the offset... They do fit very closely to the calipers though. If you are on steelies and most likely on snows then I really don't believe that the rim weight will be such a major issue. The tires alone are heavier than the stock tires... Does this mean you don't buy heavier tires?

And these are excactly where I got mine from... Didn't feel like a total "deal" but, at least I had good rubber for the winter.

I have since acquired a beater. For more than this reason alone I promote the beater. If you can't then I rate second; getting crappy rim's with seasonal tires according to your local climate.

Whats up Philly NBP R,

i just sold my itr a few days a go, sigh, and have have a set of Acura OEM itr steelies. I also have a OEM itr bra for sale. Please do not im me as they crash my PC We can discuss over this board if u dont mind. MAke offer.

PS. im in montreal canada

 

Im rockin' Black 9 spoke Millenia wheels for winter. Looks much better than steelies Yo!

 

If you prefer alloy rims, try finding some Millenia rims from a junkyard or something. Lots of people here use those to mount race tires. I'm sure they would be fine for snow use, too.

 

How much?

pics and price please
interested

 

Id say 175 OBO, they are a bit scratched... were used as track rims. They are at home (im at college right now), but ill try my best to score you some pictures.

 

thanks for the info guys, pics of any wheels for sale would be useful.
I'd like to get a beater, but don't really have the $$

 

I have a set for sale!
IM sent!

thanks - I'll be in touch...

 

Rather than get winter tires why not buy a winter beater?

Winter tires and wheels will cost about $400. You can buy a nice beatup Subaru for under $1500. Insurance should cost about $25 per month. Tax will be less than $90. Tags cost $36. When you are done using it you will be able to sell it for what you paid for it or keep it for another year.

that's what I'd rather do, but I don't know if I can put together enough $$$

 

All I can say is search around if you want wheels cheap. I ended up finding CRV steelies with almost new Goodyear All-Season tires for $200, so it can be done.

 

For my winter tires, I found a second set of stock wheels for around $500.
