Hey all, been a while since i posted here.

I currently have 14" steel wheels with Falken A/S 185 / 70r14's. They lasted about 20-30k miles. The steel wheels on my car are NOT stock and are NOT round.

As i need to buy new tires now, I also wanted to buy new wheels.
I know the tire size, rim size, etc that i need and also what other cars have them.
I was hoping for 1990-2002 Accord OEM wheels like this:


And the tires I am hoping to get are 195/60r15. Either Yokohama or Continental. That will keep my circumference on my tires stock.

However on searching my local junkyards here in DFW Texas i find that most of the rims are scavenged already... But a few remain due to wheel locks and/or allen head lugs. I found a 1991 Integra with these on it:


If you notice the grey section of the picture, that is when my phone died

Anyways i am having a really tough time tracking down these rims. There are only two on this Integra, and they have the option for 4x114.3. Anyone know what they are?
If you can't read the side-wall info on the rim, its 15x6.5JJ via 650KG and the tire was 195/55r15. The closest i found were "Rays" or "Ex Fire 308 Wheels"...

Any suggestions? Should i skip these hard-to-find rims and look elsewhere for rims? I am not interested in buying them online or new/refurbished.

Those are Konig Rated R's. They've been discontinued for quite a few years now, so you're only going to be able to source them used (or new old-stock).

Thank you very much!

I took one look at the pricing for those (even in 2009 they were $350+ per wheel) and decided to not go for them.
They are only $20/wheel at the junkyard, so maybe a quick turn around for those interested. They were in decent shape minus a few scratches and some dirt.
I am kind of sad that I couldn't find any rims at all at the junkyard, must be a common thing for people to buy/sell/scrap/etc at the yards.

Ended up buying these instead: I got them for 140 + shipping (225 after shipping).

It looked like it said 8.5JJ on them, I was like "damn those are wide".

You know i thought they were 8.5JJ's too. Until i looked up the tire size and what wheels could fit them lol.

Even modern-day Konig's aren't that expensive. Are you sure it wasn't $350/set? I've had a few sets of Konigs, purchased brand new, and never spent more than $125/wheel. As for those Rated-R's, if you found a used set, you're only looking at about $250 for the entire set (if they're in decent shape). They're a knock-off design, and don't really tend to hold any value.

Nah I wasn't able to find any for sale online, it may have been per set.

Oh well I ended up paying 140 for 4 oem 2002 Accord wheels, and 170 for shipping. I would have saved 80 bucks by buying the 55/wheel at the other junkyard here.

I'll know for next time.
