spoon wheels on a 240

my friend has a set of Rota Slipstreams, the Spoon lookalikes, they are the big 4 lug pattern and will fit my 180sx, he will sell them to me for dirt cheap. Just wondering if i should get them or is this a crime against 240's, since they are honda wheels?

They are pretty nice rims, but it just wont seem right on a 240.



(Siggy sidenote)And Hondas are RWD, well some.

They are not honda rims.
The spoon rims are made by desmond (regamaster).

From desmond's site:



They also have a couple honda pics.

www.regamaster.com

BTW: I've always liked that style.

Sorry to hear that man... I remember how sad I was when my last car was sold... Hopefully your 240 will pick up where your lude left off.

your rims off your honda 99% chance wont fit the 240. unless they are off a 90-93 accord with the larger bolt pattern(4x114.3mm), most hondas use a 4x100 pattern too small for the 240, just my 2 cents hope it helps

I like those rims. My friend has them on his s14. I would adore them if they had deeper dish.
