I paid $61 for real Honda rims from a dealer. That's here in Canada where prices are usually higher than US. Check your local Honda dealer.

Maybe they just wanted your nuts and not your wheels.

Tirerack was $49/wheel for black Steelies. I was going to go that route until I picked up a set of Integra LS Mesh Rims (15x6) on craigslist for $12.50 each.

Heh. I love my OE Sport wheels, and the Motegi's, but I was thinking more along the lines of winter wheels.

Doesn't look bad at all. The H-badge really helps the look.

Nope. The center caps, chrome nuts and wheel locks are from my 88 Civic in sig.

It appears that we have a net troll here. Name calling (idiot and retard) without helping in this thread should result in a ban imo.
