Wanting some unique wheels

Aaron

I really want some wheels that no one, or very few people have. I have rota gt3s but they are so played out, but i dont want to spend that much for the wheels though. So, you guys have any ideas?

Check out the "what wheels look good on a wagon" thread and go from there. There is a lot of wheels out there and just having a basic idea is all you need to get started. Offset? Size? Factory rims? You know just go through the options and see what you like.

Not wanting to spend much money usually doesn't equate to having the luxury of being different. You might have to start looking at different parts of the world to get something that nobody else has on their wagons. I have had a couple of sets that I haven't seen on other wagons. I still have a few sets of wheels I am sure nobody has on their wagons, but again I live in a different part of the world.

how much does it cost to ship things from germany?

Is there any way to get some parts from germany? What do I have to do? There is alot of cool stuff on the wagons there!

If you want that unique look than your going to have to pay. In my opinion, the main reason why everyone has the same rims are because they are cheap and easy to get ahold of. Look around, craiglist, ebay different places and see what you can get your hands on. Make sure they are 4x100 though and NOT 4x114 cuz these will not fit your stock wagon.

You have the money and I have the CF-48's 8)

I don't ever recall telling anybody I would get them parts. I simply stated if you want to be different it might be time to look elsewhere, but again, cheap and different don't usually go together very well.

just get regular rims like everyone else and just dress em up differently, i do it and my wagon pops out of the ordinary
or just spend alot of $$$ for some real nice ones

It took me about 2 years to find my wheels, just gotta keep looking until you find what you are after

woodi

Cheap and different? Use some other manufacturers oem wheels. They'll be different on a wagon. I'm running a set of mini cooper wheels and I know atleast one other memeber on here is running mini wheels as well but a different style. It's amazing how many different wheel options those little cars come with. There's lots of 4x100 cars out there. Check out the what oem wheels fit thread and start watching craigslist for something cheap that you like the look of.

I never asked for "you" to get me parts, i was just wondering how much the shipping would be, if you have some sort of knowledge of that. I have always wanted to get some wheels from europe though.

Go the wheels forum in the honda-tech marketplace. All kinds of stuff there.

I would say it is going to be around 300-400 dollars for a set of wheels.

Sorry ragenasian I didn't assume you had to, I was curious as to what it would take, I have cash if you wanted to maybe send me stuff!

Different/rare = money.

I would probably shank someone for a set of these:

I got it. Get some dual lug pattern after market wheels. Get the JDM ITR 4x114.3 hubs, and have a machine shop modify them with 4 extra holes. Put in the extra 4 studs, and run those wheels as 8-lug. That is something I've never seen, hehe.

Sorry its late and I'm retarded.

I think you missed the "unique" bit out, every second wagon had a set of sportmaxx at one stage. Most have moved on

I know what you guys were saying about the Tom's on a Honda...but I just love that font.

I also realize that I will probably see a set of those in my lifetime so I've settled on getting a set of Racing Hart D Spec. Superlative Racing Dish.
