GS rims on a 97 Prelude????

jcbmrtn · 05-24-02, 12:20 PM

I'm thinking about throwing my GS wheels on my wife's red 97 Prelude. What do you think?

Here are some pictures if anybody is up to the photoshop challenge:

That is the best looking Prelude I have ever seen, even though its been photoshopped. Kinda looks like a Mercedes.

Am I mistaken? I thought most Honda-brand cars were 4 lug?

Legendary94GS · 05-26-02, 11:12 PM

the honda cars with 200 hp + are 5 lug, pretty much, there are a few exceptions (type R)

jcbmrtn,

you may want to look into hubcentric rings as i believe the prelude is a 64mm hub compared to the legend 70mm

Well, I put them on this weekend. I'll post some pics when I get the chance.

How will I know if I need Hubcentric rings? Will there be a vibration? If it rides smoothly, do I need to worry about it?

i'm not sure if you'll feel a difference, i just think, to be on the safe side to get them. looking at the hub you should see a 6 mm gap

The 97-01 Preludes were all 5 lugs and then I think that any Type-R is 5 lugs.

That's silly... why don't they just make all their cars 5-lug?
