Anyone ever see a wheel like this?

I picked the set up for $40 yesterday, they're cast by enkei, 13x5, et40, and have "honda" stamped on the outside. Enkei stamped on the inner hub.

I can't seem to find a single google image, seller said they were off his 86' CRX.

Just a nifty find, was pretty happy to score another set of rally-look alike wheels for my rally-x project. :)

Seen them? Yes, but not often. I looked at a '80 or '81 Civic S with a set of those mounted up, say, 10-12 years ago.

Good score for $40!

They were in the Honda Accessory catalog in the late 80's.

Nice find and a good deal!

The wheels were not exclusive to Crx's; seems like they were a factory option available to dealers/customers who wanted to upgrade from OEM steelies. They should also be the standard 13x5 measurement, matching the original rim size.

Those are similar, but not exactly the same, as a set I was given. Also 13x5, also with Honda stamped on them, but they're more solid - the holes, vents, whatever are about half the size. I have no idea where they came from before a friend cleaned up his yard and wanted them out of it.

Those sound sound like pre-88 Accord LXi rims.

I think i recognize the description you are giving me.

Cool beans guys! I sure thought it was a deal, 13" wheels are out of style, but being cheap isn't! :P

They're going to get sandblasted and painted gloss white :)
