where can I buy replica OEM 02+ rims?

[nsxohio]

Has anybody ever seen replica OEM 02+ rims for sale?

-thanks

 

[Brylek]

Yes, but I wouldn't buy them. Buy the real thing, OEM 02+ wheels are very strong, light and they keep their value very well.

 

[angus]

I don't even think you can really buy them.

 

[arista5]

I think Jacks was making some white ones. obvious fakes missing some info and the forged stamps.

have not seen them in years though

 

[nsxohio]

what is jacks

Forget replicas, does anyone "in the know" know what company actual made the wheels for Acura to put on their cars?

I happen to know that now-a-days, when you buy a new Honda/Acura and add "upgraded wheels"...they are made for Honda/Acura by Enkei...Enkei logo stamp is on the inside.

Can anyone point me to the exact dimensions of the stock OEM '94 & up seven spoke wheels...I know the diameter, I;m just looking for the exact width and offset/inset (whatever they want to call in now...), and the weight of each.

94-01 wheels:
Front 16x7, 16.75 lbs./each, 55 offset, 70.1mm centerbore
Rear 17x8.5, 20.85 lbs./each, 60 offset, 64.1mm centerbore

Some sites says they have it ( replicas ), but when I ask, they say they only have one wheel.

good luck

should just save up and buy them new. you will be alot happier with the rims than replicas

The '94-01 7 spoke OEM wheels, both Blades & Solaris Silver, were made by Ashai while I believe the '02-05 wheels were made by BBS. If there are replicas out there, I haven't seen them but there are companies that sell refinished OEMs. That might be your best bet because cheapest retail on the fronts is about $1800, rears are around $1200.

These look like promising possible knock-offs...

I beg to differ...a decent used set of four seems to run only $1,100 to $1,500...some deals even with decent tires still left...

I will be looking for a set soon, but I was semi-open to knock-offs...

I also need to find them local as I am not paying for shipping...unless they being sold at a really good deal.

All these wheels are 97-01 not 02+ like you originally asked for. I believe the 02+ wheels are much more expensive.
I have been offered $2000 for my 02 wheels and they were still on my car

 

[GBL1]

No, I was asking about '94-'01 wheels. I actually prefer the more stream-lined and simple design of the earlier ones.

The OP was asking about the newer ones...

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I was quoting NEW '97-'01 OEM wheels at that price. I have no clue as to what a used set would go for but the best thing I've found is to get an OEM wheel or 2 that's been trashed for a decent price and have it refinished. I have a great wheel refinishing shop here in Nashville that'll do a wheel for $135, others may not have that option.

Just a word of advice--don't limit yourself to local pickup unless you're in SoCal. You might never find a complete set as that's where most of them seem to be. Just speaking from my own experience---

Sorry if I mis-understood you. You are probably correct then.

I agree...buy scuffed up used and re-finish. We have this place local in Dallas that I always hear good things about:

http://www.wheelsamerica.com/?gclid=CLH01c61j64CFQhgTAodHxdkgw

...and they run about $100 per wheel.

I hear you on the Cali thing & agree.

...but I may have found an owner that wants a new set of aftermarket (Enkei...and Top Speed is now an exclusive distributor for Enkei), so after he chooses a set, he's tentatively agreed to sell me his '94 -up seven spokes!
