Default Prelude rims on an AV6



Not my car, but a buddy of mine is going to give me his old rims for my AV6. Just curious to see how it will look.

I tried to install them today, but when I put the rim on it was a bit wobbly without any bolts. On the Prelude it isn't as wobbly. However my stock rims are also wobbly without the bolts, but nto as much. The offsets are the same 114.3x5 so it should fit right?

Only going to use them for a week.

looks pretty nice, I'd say. They look really aggressive, though. More aggressive than the car itself.

and i saw an odyssey once with those prelude base model wheels o_O but for some reason it looked pretty good to me h:

Guess i'll see in a few days. My car is lowered too and also silver so I guess it will look like the picture, or maybe not.

I just don't get why the rims were wobbly before I put on any bolts.

Something just doesn't look right to me. The rims kind of look like the EX 4-bolt rims, but.....I dunno. Confused now.

I don't think those rims go with a sedan...they might look good on a coupe, but not a sedan. TL-S rims on a sedan look :drool:

I just put them on today. Phew.

They look considerably better than that photo because I didn't clear my lights and I kept on the Potenzas which are 205/50/16. I think I will keep them instead of the TL-S rims.

Gap got larger even though my car is lowered because the stock tires were 205/65/15 h: but it looks okay to me.

I think i'll get new tires. Looking at Pirelli P7000s because they are an okay buy and should last relatively long.
