anyone know where to find some nice 13 inch rims for a 1996 Honda Civic dx trim is 175 70 13 , or would it be just as good to just find some good hubcaps, I wanna restore this car in time , throw out ideas

 

As stock, they had steel rims painted gray. The "hubcaps" were little ones with the Honda emblem that just cover the center hole.

 

Depends on what you want to spend, and how you want the car to look.

Hubcaps (assuming you could find them in 13" size) will probably cost $35 for the set, but will look like cheapie hubcaps.

You could paint the existing 13" steel wheels, which would cost about $10 in materials, and would bring a nice, silver finish back to them.

Or if you really want to spend some money on wheels, and keep the 13" size, you could look into something like a Keizer wheel which come in a 13" size, and are used by a lot of autocrossers and track cars. Another alternative would be a 13" Panasport wheel. However, both of those, while being great wheels, would cost probably $600+ for the set. But that's the price you pay for keeping 13" wheels (not many manufacturers still make a 13" wheel). The other trick is that you'll have to find tires to fit.

But if you're going to spend that much on new wheels, I'd recommend going with a nice, light 15" wheel for your '96. At that size, you can get a wide selection of wheels and tires, and it'll look great on your car.

 

haha thanks, ima check those out, and from what i know i thought hubcaps where the caps refered to that covers the 13 inch steel wheel , since they snap in and snap out, and no im not looking to spend to much money right now, im expecting a kid in july so i gotta save any money i can to put on the side for them :P thanks again chris
