Default Enkei M52 Wheels

Just wondering why some sites sell these wheels for the Ap1 and others do not. For instance, tire rack does not have them listed online for it. Any ideas? I checked the official Enkei website and it has the size 16x7 5x114.3 bolt pattern +45 offset available. These should work fine right with the stock tire size?

Total waste of money. You are getting a narrower wheel than ap1 in the rear and a much narrower than ap2. There are also limited tire choices for 16's compared to 17's. Don't waste you money buy ap2 wheels instead and get a real upgrade.

Yes you are right; however, the price bump for 17" wheels and tires goes up to much for what I am willing to spend. Also I am not looking for an upgrade, just a cheap solution to replacing my wheels because one of them was damaged in a curbing incident. The cost of replacing that wheel from Honda is crazy expensive. I also dont want to risk buying someones used honda wheels either.

If anyone else has any answers to my OP please reply. Ty.

LOL. That is one area not to cheap out in, unless it is VERY temporary. Id rather spend the same money and replace the AP1 wheel that was damaged.

Its not the same money, its 200 bucks cheaper. I think I will be fine since I dont race it anymore. Just drive it to and from work.

Why don't you want to buy used wheels? That makes no sense. You are willing to buy cheapo enkei wheels and not a set of used ap1's? i have seen used sets of ap1's for $150 and they are perfectly fine. You could also buy these but if you aren't willing to spend a bit more for 17's you probably don't want these.

Not sure how close this guy it to you but may be worth checking out if only one wheel is messed up.
