UPDATE - WHEELS FOUND! 98 Acura GS 14" wheels will fit?

spacebug · 05-31-2006, 01:29 PM

Thanks for all the feedback. I found a set of Civic HX wheels that should work well for winter. Now I just need to find a local distributor for the Nokian RSI's that I want and I'll be ready for winter! ***

I'm looking for a set of wheels for my Insight so I can use the factory wheels for my winter tires.

Any idea if a 4x100 pattern 14" wheel from a 98 Acura Integra GS would have any fitment problems? I'm guessing it would fit.

In case you're wondering, my theory is to use the slightly heavier and more open design Acura wheels in the summer with oem Bridgestones.

Since I'm going to take a mileage hit in the winter with Blizzaks anyway, I figured I'd go with the lighter oem wheels. The closed design should also help reduce snow and ice in the wheels, a problem I encountered on my Audi fairly often.

TIA

Yes they will

yes they will fit.
Any 4x100 14" Honda or Acura rim will fit.
I suggest using the Insight rims in the summer because they are extremely expensive to replace and rare to find used. Winter salt will corrode the rims over the years so it's better to use cheaper used rims with winter tires.

the rear offset is wrong on the integra wheel. It will not fit behind the cover.

Any 100, 4 hole, 14x6 inch will fit. I bought mine from American Racing.

I almost got those, but I like the curves.

I have the 14"x6" Kosei T1S and they only weigh 9 lbs each (compared to 11lbs each for the lightweight OEM Insight rims).
Notice the 2 valve stems so it's never hidden under the rear wheel skirt.

Is there anywhere to find wheel weights? Because I've been looking for wheels for my electric Saturn and I'm having a heck of a time finding wheel weights. Those Kosei's might look good on it though!

99% of rims are made for looks and cheap brute strength though massive use of aluminum.
Only a few rim manufacturers make strong and lightweight rims for competition use, and even fewer are reasonably priced.
Kosei, Konig Heliums, Rotas, Team Dynamics, Volk, Rays etc...
