Default hondas are they really jdm or not

alot of people on here say drag, rota and ls mesh are not jdm. they think the only real jdm is $3000 works rims. they say if the rim or product is not made in japan its not jdm. well almost all honda under the hood say made in canada or made in usa. i have owned six hondas and none of them were made in japan. so accord to most people on here then hondas are not jdm. so put your high dollar jdm rims on a non jdm honda

All of what you said is basically true. But so what? If your only question is whether Hondas in general are JDM or not you already answered your own question.

People dont hate on rota or drag because they're "not jdm", they hate on them because they manufacture cheap, low quality replica parts. And no, most Hondas are not made in Japan but it's a Japan based company. Have you seen the new Dodge Challenger comercial with George Washington? The car is manufactured at the Brampton facility in Canada lol

JDM means Japanese domestic market. So when you get a car shipped from japan its JDM. If you ship parts from japan and install them its a JDM clone. My 1988 CRX is from Japan and built in Japan. BUT its not JDM. It has ugly American parts on it.

As far as wheels go if they had to be shipped from Japan, then they are JDM. Because you cannot buy them here.
