Can you all help me by id'ing these Honda wheels? Are they from a Civic? They are 16". And once identified, what are they worth? Curb rash on every wheel but good tread on all the tires.

They're modern that's for sure. What's the tire size?

I think they are 205s. Unfortunately they're at my dad's house at the moment.

'06 and newer Civic EX... I'd value the set as-is under $300, but then I'm cheap.

Thank you! Found this, based on your suggestion. Off to list them on CL.

Hm, shame the tires don't match, I'm tempted to make an offer to see how they fit on the Subie...

The good news is that they'll sell in a jiffy on CL.

"Good Tread"...maybe,... but none of the tires match. Would love to know what series of events led to someone having a different tire on each corner of their car. Maybe each tread pattern was selected to maximize traction for the respective corner based on corner weight and geometry?

I hope you're right. I got 2 responses within 10 minutes of putting them up.

Good tread perhaps not by your standards, but great tread compared to some of the baldies I see folks driving around on routinely. As for the mismatch, it's hard to tell in the photo, but the top tire and bottom tire match. The other 2 are one-offs. The wheels came on a parts car (an FC RX-7 of all things) so I'm just trying to get rid of them.

COMPLETELY offtopic- but when the hell did civics actually ditch the ol' 4x100? This is the first time i've noticed.

I was about to ask the same thing. But then again I stopped paying attention after the EK. The first generation Civic was 4x120. Just for some more random offtopic stuff.

In reply to That idiot who can't spell:

They went away from 4x100 when 4 studs per corner couldn't handle the bloat.

Think about it: any car with a four bolt pattern is a "light weight" by today's new car standards.
