Well, I finally made the decision...
I'm taking my wheels off tonight and rollin on the stocks again.
I was gonna do it before MoKan anyway and I want to get them off before anymore ice/snow hit so I CAN drive my car in it.
I'm about 90% sure that I'm ready to sell them, too, so, if you want a set of 18's for YOUR ride, watch for them in the classifieds. As soon as I get'em cleaned up, I'll post an ad.
FYI : I'll need to get $500.00 out of 'em.

what kind and how many spokes

They are BSA 216's .. 10 spoke.
I know the pic of my car in the showcase isn't very clear, but you can get a general idea.
They are 18" and will come with the tires (Nankang 215/35R18's). They are "universal" 4 lug pattern which is to say they have a 4X100 and a 4X115 pattern.

Actually, these wheels have been priced (by WheelPlanet) at $95.00 per wheel. (I never said it was anything super special.) THe tires are Nankang NS-II and, although I haven't priced them through a shop, I noticed that there was a set on e-bay for $290.00 plus $75.00 shipping ($365.00), which is probably the cheapest you'd get.
So... : New wheels/tires = $380.00(plus tax) for wheels + (minimum) $365.00 for tires = total of $745.00 (plus the tax for wheels still)
Or : Mine, used for about 4 1/2 months, never in the snow/ice (because, well, I didn't want to) for $500.00 +/- and delivered upon payment (as opposed to waiting for the others to be shipped here).

And another thing, by the way...I was incorrect in the last post when I said the wheels were BSA 216's.....they are BSA 215's (there are no 216's).
Geez, I guess this is pretty much the classified ad now... :huh:

Thanks for the props, bro.

Honestly, my boss @ work has an '88 Integra and was asking about them and I told him that they might look wierd on his car, because of the size.
If you have a CRX, it's MY opinion that you wouldn't want 18" rims...if you do, to each his own.
But they WILL look good on a '92-'95 civic (HB OR COUPE), they'll look GREAT on a '96 and up civic.
On Integras, I think they'd look pretty tight on any of them, including RSX's.
Accords, they'll look good because, hey, your body style is comparible to mine. You MIGHT consider getting 40series tires, though.
Bigger bodies (i.e. RX7s, Supras, 300Zs, 350zs) you would PROBABLY want 40series (minimum) wrapped around these to look decent on your ride, and that's assuming that you have the lug pattern (I think all those have 5 lug, yeah?)

I'm NOT trying to just dump them off on you guys or rip anyone off, and I don't want someone getting them if they don't think they work for your car, but I don't want/need them. They're just taking up space right now and I could use the money to get a couple performance upgrades for mine PLUS it'll help me get into the new house sooner.

It's OK, bro, I think he was just messin' (look at the winky smiley...that's the way I took it).
We've crossed hairs a couple times, but I think he was just bein' a wise-ass.
Takes one to know one, I guess... :lol:

FYI: RSX's are all 5 lug...to my knowledge anyway

Shit, yah, you're right...that slipped right past me.
So, never mind these wheels RSX owners.
