What car are those rims from? They seem to fit those 15" yokos pretty well. They look decent with the center dish being so smooth.

I like those wheels too. Very interested in what they are

Why should I share that info when nobody is voting in my poll?  I kinda want to see if someone will guess correctly or figure it out... 

Here's a couple more pics:

How much, and what width?

How much, and what width?

I got them for around $50 each.  Find a pal that has an employee discount, cause list is like $90 a pop.  They're 5.5" or 6".  I don't remember specifically.  The tires are 205-45-16...

They also mount on 5" wide wheels too.  Seemed to work okay for dodging cones.  Granted the 7.5" wide wheels are much better.

All 205 section width tires have the same size recommended wheel width range.  Duh!

I'm guessing, among other things, you weren't telling us the Mini steelies were a forced upgrade.

If Foowee wanted brakes he'd put Porsche 6 pots on it.

Who needs brakes anyways?

This has me wondering about the camber curve of 2g integra knuckles on a crx.  I have some 4g civic ex knuckles on standby, but was thinking the integra ones might have an advantage on a lowered vehicle that has less suspension travel.  I fairly certain the integra knuckles are an inch or so taller than the civic ones causing a taller camber ramp.  Any thoughts or experience?
Title: Re: Crx
Post by: Joseph Davis on December 30, 2011, 08:18:34 PM
AFAIK no one has done an actual indepth analysis.  My gut feeling has been that you want the EX spindles for anything that handles, and DA spindles were fine for a straight line rocket whose dynamic suspension operation is going to be trash anyway from too much power.

On a tangental but ultimately related topic, it was dropped but never verified, 03 CL calipers bolt to the "unwanted" knuckles, and are ITR-esque in all other regards.

Post by: PhilStubbs on December 30, 2011, 10:24:47 PM
Not sure if this helps but I have eg knuckles on my 91 hatch. It has very slight positive camber, about .2° sitting about as low as eBay coilovers will go.

I'm thinking about shortening the upper arms to bring it back.

Thoughts and experiences?  I am pretty sure the steering arms are a different length as well.  I ran a set for a while on my old CRX before I found my first set of EX knuckles.  It work, but the car drove pretty pretty weird.

Cool.  Ex knuckles it is.  I found some more at the yard the other day, but was too lazy to pull 'em.  I guess I'll go back n see if they're still there.

I thought I was gonna score another pair today while at the yard until I walked over other other side of the car.  Some jerkoff only took one.

Dammit.

lol.
