My boss said he will give me a set of 91 Honda Accord rims with pretty much brand new tires for a song ( well, actually a painting of his daughter )

My question to you guys is if the stock steel 13 " wheels that I have on the car now weigh less than the 14" alloys that he would give me, thereby canceling out the aero benefits.

I don't know the size of the wheels.

I may have to take them anyways, since i slid into a curb and banged up one of the rims.




Oh, and by the way : YKYAEM when the guy says that the tires are almost 'brand new' and you sigh because your old tires are just getting broke in.


Also, I wanted to add these to the list : Alloy wheels for a mid 90's Mercury Mystique :
I wonder about that lip though.
Mid 90's Mercury Tracer ( hubcap ? )

an artist! hhhhmmmmm. i'm more of a doodler but i love drawing and teaching my girls all i know about shading/fading, .....

if you drive mostly in slow speed, weight might be a problem. freeway speeds might not show as much so it would be a benifit.

Does anybody know if these wheels are available? Scion was going to introduce the iQ EV, but then scrapped the project, but I still want these wheels (or something similar)!

HELLA Smoothie caps - $35!!!!

I saw another set on Ebay for $230 so these were an impulse buy, but I've been looking forever for this exact sort of thing so I feel ok with the purchase.

Who makes those, and are there more ?

[jeff88]

^X2 Those look sweet and the Yin-Yang styling would work well with my Japanese car. Is there an actual pic, I couldn't find the item on Ebay.

[RobbMeeX]

I should have added click the pic to buy!

The manufacturer is HELLA!! I scoured the internet after I bought them and couldn't find A THING on them. Looks like there's only a few sets left in existence...
