those look like poo. 80's rims were all about the huge small amount of spokes. like thick 5 spokes, slightly rounded and stuff. or mesh wheels.they were really popular..

1986 Civic Si; b16a is in.. just gotta get it running..
longest swap ever.....

i dont think he was posting what he wants, rather what he has.... but wants some oldskool. I have the AXIS Oldskool and i love them, lightweight and flippin sweet... the sportmax 002 wheels are badass too. but thats just my opinion, get what you want.

i guess the axis "old skool" wheels are old school

but I'd want the legit Work Equip 03s instead

id even say that the 01s are pretty sweet looking and even "huge small amount of spokes"

In the world of Barret Jackson-type old car collecting, they always talk about "Period Correct" accesories like wheels. It just adds a bit of value to an old car to look like an old car, not an old car dressed up to look like a fashion mish-mash.

Meshies are definately worth searching for. Perhaps the most sought after Old School Honda wheel (besides the Mugen stuff) is a 13x6 mesh-style wheel made by Riken.

I've got Ronal Turbos for my car...they'll go on in the spring

I'd say they were "period correct"...

If anybody comes across a set of 13" or 14" that'll fit a 1st gen and look like the ones below, let me know, please:

I think they would look good on my car (and match my baby Bronco).

Just tell her you are fixing it for someone and it is not yours and when they never show up to pick it up tell her you are keeping it for all of the work you put into it.
