I'm looking for the right set of rims for my 85 Gsl-Se.

The problem is all the good rims coming out now all seam to be five lugs and there usually offset for front wheel drive cars.

The ***** driving me crazy. What your option on this. Am I looking in the wrong places or what?

Who makes a good race/ tunner rim for a Rotary-Rocket (RWD)?

That's what I want to know.

What about all five lug conversion?

Anyone ever try it?

It maybe worth it just to have more of a selection of wheels and you also get the bonus of a better braking system to boot.

What do you guy's think? do-able?

Dumbrotor

I've done all the above, but the selection is slim to say the least. Plus all the hot new **** seems to be FWD only type stuff. I live in NYC so it's not like I'm out of the loop (so you'd think) but still what do you think about my five lug converstion idea? Any ideas?

Thanks

5-lug conversions have been done before, but its a pretty big mission. I believe there is some info on the evil forum, but I'm not sure where.



With SE suspension, I wouldn't have thought you would have that many problems finding rims. You may have to see if your wheel place will import.??

The lug pattern.

Non-SE 4 x 110

SE 4 X 114.1



Edit: See with Non-SE, you can go with mustang rims which are 4 x 109's (or close to that anyway). Its doable, only a little dodgy.

O.K. ya

So the non-Se has a tighter bolt pattern, right?

WHat are you talking about.



THere are thousands of rims for gsl-se's



Here are mine:







Mine are +35 mm offset.



The gsl-se suspension shares the same offset as most FWD acuras.



If you cant FWD acura rims, than your city needs more ricers!!!!



GOod luck!! BTW, i'll see if i can find this one webpage, they avhe like 100 rims on it.
