yeah they're cheaper than used mr2 15's

This guy is selling em for 280 for the s2k wheels but mr2 15's generally go for around 350 without tires.

edited my prior post to fix my mistake.

Fronts will fit the general Honda 5-bolt, rear won't.

The OEM MY00-03 (AP1) wheel sizes and offsets are as follows:

Front:
16" x 6.5", +55 offset, 205 tire
Rear:
16" x 7.5", +65 offset, 225 tire


googled it. don't know ap2
The OEM 225 Bridgestone SO2 contact patch is more like a 245 on most other tires.

Yeah, Honda should have warned people about that. As long as the contact patch on a replacement tire is 8.5 it's good.

If you plan on putting those wheels on a car be prepared to replaced stress fractured axles because you're putting the wheels too far out from the fulcrum point that is designed into the axles.

LOLz

i dunno why so many people dont like the ap2 ver.2 wheels. i actually like them better than mine.

but then again, im not a fan of the whole Work Emotion CR style wheels. i dont even really "like" the Mugen MF10's. theyre nice, but just not my taste. :dunno:
