We share the same wheel set-up as Del Sols, correct?
(4 lug)

My buddy accidentally totaled his car (as if anyone would on purpose? heh.)
but managed to not so much as scuff the wheels..

I was gonna buy them off him, but realized maybe they're different?
I don't think they are, but I just wanted to hear another voice on the issue??
thanks.

 

it is a civic, and civics have the same 4x100 bolt pattern as integras. so they'll fit.

 

Thats what I thought, thanks...
just wanted to make sure...

in relevant news... i'm getting a really good deal on a set of enkeis that are only lightly scuffed due to the fact he totalled his del sol.. gonna get them powder coated gloss black with a silver lip.

$500ish for a unique/custom wheel with brand new rubber is a decent deal if you ask me! =P

 

Bout how much does it cost to get the powder coat with the gloss lip i was thinking of doing that with my stock rims....

 

about $200 if you know the place... possibly more, I don't know jacksonville...

www.google.com

p.s. I wouldn't powdercoat/lip your stockers... but whatever floats your muffin. Welcome to HAN :cheers:

 

any particular reason not to do the stock rims?...

coating doesn't hold well?... looks fugly?...etc..

 

those the 8 double spoked stockers on the 2000ls right???

Shouldn't do the stock wheels for 2 reasons imo.
1) Probably gonna look ghetto fab.
2) Nice to have some regular ass wheels incase you wanna sleep it, or mess up aftermarkets...

it's all opinion though, homie, if you wanna, then by all means, it's your car.

We're all 4x100, but I'd check the offset spacing. I think the Del Sol was a little shallower than the DC / DB Integra.

Re: Powdercoating - As long as the wheel is stripped down to bare metal and the powdercoat resin is allowed to cure properly, the finish will be very durable.
The only limitation is that on a one piece wheel the whole wheel must be coated. You can't "mask off" the outer lip and leave a section to be polished.

You can use have nearly any color and gloss level nowadays...just bear in mind that changing the finish color will require starting over from scratch.

 

i'm not too wheel spec savvy...
if it's shallower, does that mean the wheel wont fit?

Also.. why is it they can't make a silver lip if they powder coat??
They can't mask it off.... and they can't buff the black out afterwards?
Guess I need to read up more, one of those "awkward to find info on" topics though.... the powdercoating at least.

Thanks as always.

 

Oh... :reechy: That was a half assed explanation. h:

Offset is measured in millimetres and it's the distance between the centerline of the rim diameter (when viewed from the side in cross section) and the inside face of the wheel hub. It determines the center of the steering axis as realized by the tire tread.



If the wrong offset is used, the wheel may not even clear the suspension components or it may strike the outside edge of the wheelwell. The diagram should help you visualize what I'm talking about... and this weblink should paint the bigger picture.

Re: Powdercoating and "masking".

The powdercoating process involves applying an electric charge to the stripped rim. That negative charge attracts the positively charged powder as it is sprayed inside a booth. While it is physically possible to mask off a section while spraying the powder, the problems come later on.

After the powder is shot, the rim is fired in an intensely hot oven for about 2 hours. In that 800° to 1200°F heat, the powder melts and flows out over the entire surface, self-leveling in the process This is what prevents you from maintaining a clean line between a masked section and a powdercoated section on a one-piece wheel.

If you're powdercoating a three-piece wheel, then it's no problem. You just dissassemble the rim and take off the outer flange, then powdercoat the center section.

Better? h:
