All right so I have wanted 5th Gen. Type SH/SE wheels for FOREVER, and I finially have an opportunity to pick them up. They are owned by another local Prelude club member who is a friend of mine. He is getting steelies and winter tires for this winter and then after market wheels next spring. He is willing to let them go for $800 CAD still wrapped in tires with between 60%-40% tread left. They are off a 2001 Honda Prelude SE.

Seems a little high to me. Though if you buy them from someone out of town, they might end up being about the same with shipping

$800 CAD = $702.76USD

:yuck: :ugh:

My friend and I picked up used SH wheels from a member for around $300.USD, without tires.
They are Enkies, but damn, $700.bones for those rims?

Talk him down to 500...not even...what kind of tires are on them? they better be all season, or better yet high performance sticky tires for that much money.

All in all Tayler, i think if you are about to spend $800.CAD on rims and tires, get something nicer...you can get a Rota rim & tire package shipped to your door for $600.-800.CAD. :yo:

Tayler i have a question for you... Are you going for a SUPER clean stock look or are you looking for an agressive performance look, i think this would help you

Super clean look = Get wheels
Performance look = i wouldn't think to race you in them wheels

I am sticking with Honda wheels. I don't care what car they are off as long as they look good. And 5th Gen. SH/SE wheels look the nicest to me. It is either stick with what I have or get a set of these.

honestly, i think SH rims are the worst-looking rims honda came out with. they are WAYYYY too bland, and do nothing except make the car look cheap.

base rims on the other hand are an absolute orgasm.
look how ammaazzinggggg these look.....
