Default Lightweight Honda Rims

i was at the junkyard and found these factory honda rims on an old 1983 Accord. they came with the honda center caps and cost me $64 with some tires.
13x5

i weighed one at 10.25 lbs
figured these are perfect for rears at the track. vx rims (9.75lbs) are getting more expensive and harder to find. i do have 1 vx though.
i'll post some more pics tomorrow. hey julio, thanks for helping me at the jy break my toolbox dolly!

Right on, what tires are you planning on running with a 13x5 wheel? BTW your car better be a DX otherwise your brakes will not clear. also, did you test fit them? I know that accord 4 lugs (at least since 4th gen's) are 4x114.3

I am running HX wheels and I have to use spacers in the front. I either have to get wider rotors or extended wheels studs because the spacers are ------- my stock wheel studs up. I guess they aren't long enough so the lug nuts can't go on all the way or something. I just had to get 2 wheels studs replaced and they are a bitch in my car. It took the damn tire place like an hour.

More info:
these have a 40mm offset
vx has a 45mm offset
hx 14x5.5 / 11.75 lbs / 45mm offset




since my rotas need new tires, i decided to run with these huge *** tires they came with.
