I have had my 01 GSR for over a year now and I just noticed that all 4 rims are identical. Meaning, the points of the wheels point forward on one side, and point backward on the other. Now I have never noticed this before, so I started looking around. The Preludes do not seem to have this going on, but other cars do (haven't seen another GSR yet, but I am looking). Does anyone know? Is this normal? If so it sucks, it may be cheaper for a car company but it looks lame. Anyways, I need to call acura and see if there is a different part number, ya know, maybe I just ended up with an odd ball.

Let me know what you guys think.

yep, that's normal. honda opted to be cheap with those wheels. :-/

 

Gee thanks for bringing another imperfection on my GSR to my attention....Maybe I should sell my wheels to those guys that ask me all the time..... LOL No to flame on ya or anything...I just wish I didnt know that now.

 

hehe, no prob.. agreed tho, bad move on their part. ah well, it's no big deal, really.

 

what do you mean? i dont get what you're saying...

 

All the rims look like this way, so on the other side the spokes point the other way.

 

ohhhh

yeah, that's pretty cheap lol.

 

Yeah that is standard. What do you want for stock.

 

Yeah, I have been noticing that alot lately on other cars or what not. Like I said, I have not noticed it in the year I have had it, but now that I do it is like an eye sore. I guess I will just have to get new wheels sooner than I had planned. It is odd though, that the preludes wheels point in the correct direction.

Peace,

My God that's lame. For the amount of money we shell out for these thing's you'd think they'd make a 'left' and 'right' rim.
