Get them and resell them for a profit. I've seen them spoon style(rotas) on s13 and they looks sunk due to the offset for FF cars. Answer-> buy+ resell= money for 240sx parts

nissans are 4x114.3 pattern, hondas are 4x100... if it doesnt have two sets of 4-bolt holes, they wont work...

not entirely true. FYI, Accords are also 4x114.3

to the OP, you sure they're spoon wheels? What kind? if authentic, you might be able to sell them for profit, $150 is helluvadeal... I highly doubt it tho...

unless..

they're Spun Wheels

btw, honda offsets are entirely different... don't get em...

For a fraction of a second, I thought someone had an authentic set of the Regamaster EVO's.

Then reality struck....

wait WHAT? if you can get four spoon sw388's for 150$ you can sell them for 1200$+ easily. i bet 100$ they are rotas though... you know how to tell other then the obvious color difference right? look for a desmond sticker it'll have a little horse and stuff, or on the back of the spokes it'll say desmond.

they make 4x100 to 4x114.3 conversion spacers... and since the honda-esk wheels are like a +40, a 20-30mm spacer wouldn't make it suck that much. (notice, "that much")

What the heck are you sniffing?

Preludes, Accords, 4x114

And Spoon wheels do not go for $150. Spoons are rare, I haven't seen a set on sale in ages. You're thinking of Rotas, Spun, Drags, SSK, or whatever.

If you can get real spoons 16" for $150. Bring it to LA and i'll give you $225 for my potential Honda.

yea they are all fairly uncommom. i'd say the 4x114.3's are the rarest. 5x114.3 was fairly popular in japan due to the 97+ ctr and 97+ itr all being 5x114.3

ehh no. only the 96 spec was 4x114.3 then from 97-01 they were 5x114.3. they came in a 15 and then from 98+ they came in a 16 inch. the 16 inch is the one you'll see in something like forza.

I meant, All the cars above have 4x114.3 ei: preludes, accords, DC2's. Not concerning all DC2's. As I didn't specify the year.

An as for that, we only deal with USDM cars, so the JDM cars are not relevant, unless you did a conversion.

So. Basically the Spoons 4x114 would only fit on Preludes BB1-4 and Accords here in the States.
