Postby Veloce » Wed Oct 16, 2013 2:31 pm

Anyone know a website that may help me to ID some wheels? I"ll post some pics tonight cause I want to try and get some centre caps/covers.

A cheap brand wheel which has been polished (thus removing the original finish and scratches).

Not necessarily.

Some companies did actually do this from factory.
Granted, it was usually bob jane sort of ones

It has the size and offset, that's it. Just using them on the daughter's Civic not for the 5. I'll see if a search for CSA yields anything. Can't understand why they didn't drill half way between the four pre-existing holes! :roll:

Sure hope so, yes they are 100 and 114.3 but as yet no one can ID. Might try a few retailers. Just want to find some caps!
