Hey guys. Sorry, I have a civic hatch, so Im just visiting this part of the forum to ask a question....

I bought ls mesh rims from a dude I know, and I look at them, and they aren't the same as I have seen elsewhere. They were off of his 99 integra ls. So I'm assuming there are two different types? They have way more spokes, heres some pics:







So whats the deal?

 

You got the ugly ones . Hope you didn't pay too much...maybe you can get the old ones back.

 

those are the snowflake kinds.

I payed 150 for rims and tires - these are just my winter rims/tires - I have Falken Azenis and Flat Black Rota c8's for summer/winter/fall

So are these rare? Never seeen them before

 

You mean these?

 

snowflake ones are 14" and ugly IMHO... LS mesh (also 97 GS-R) were 15" and nice.

Thats what I thought I was getting, seeing as they were coming off of his ls teg.

I wish I had those, they are 9873468x better than the snowflake ones

Well it's either 13" steelies with mismatched sized tires or the snowflakes for winter. The snowflakes aint so bad, plus the tires get better grip

I think they were optional on the 98-01 LS. I know the 94-97 LS and RS had 14" hubcaps, then for 98 it got alloy wheels as standard, but they were the 14" snowflake wheels. The 97 GS-R had those 15" mesh wheels, and I guess Honda decided to re-use them as optional 15" wheels on the 98-01 LS.

 

98 LS had the snowflake wheels
99-01 has the "mesh"

 

Damnit! It was a 98! Why didnt I come to you guys sooner

 

around where I live we call the "mesh" wheels 97 gsrs because alot of 97s came with them around here

 

hey i have the same wheels and i dont think they are that bad! come-on guys they are better than the steelies!

 

ehhh, snowflakes are "ok"
not my taste at all...

$90 for all four of my rims
what a steal, dont you think?
($190 for the set with tires, sold the tires for $100... )

 

my friend use to have them...we call them the "flower rims" LOL

 

yea..the Ls snowflakes are ok. But they look like dooky compared to the 15" LS mesh.

 

those are ugliest pos rims acura ever made.

 

haha nah...14 inch steelies own the snowflakes

 

i like the snowflakes.

 

my friend is gunna trade his steelies and $50 for these nasty *** looking things to put on his silver 98 4dr, yuck. although they dont look half bad on that black integra... not my taste.

 

Well I thought I was getting a steal for the real LS mesh - seeing as they go for around 300 here. So i thought 150 for rims/tires aint bad - but when I saw them I was like , but painting them black and seeing how much better they looked than stealies made me

I just wish I had ls mesh!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why did you paint them black?
They look better the other color.

 

Im all about black rims y0
