Help me identify these wheels

So, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It came with these non-stock wheels, and I’ve been trying to identify what they are.

They are 6.5 x 15” 7-spoke 4 x 114.3 alloys.

There’s a small HONDA lettering on the outer edge of the rim, which lead me to believe they were OE fitment to some car at some time in the past, but I don’t remember ever seeing them around before.

I originally thought about swapping them for the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , but these wheels actually look pretty good in the car, are in great condition and wrapped in brand new tyres, so I think I’ll just leave them be for now and replace them when it comes time to get new rubber.

I’m still curious as to what car they could have come from, though.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated!

Pretty sure they’re stock Honda EK Civic.

pretty sure they are accord rims. civics (as you’ve posted) are 4x100, bet the volvo is 4x114 which is what accords are

You sure? I found a few pics of EKs wearing them.

Strange, the people running them on EKs must’ve hub swapped or something.

absolutely, the wheel you posted is a civic wheel, similar but not the same to the wheel that Hiroku posted that is on his car, which I believe is likely an accord wheel.

Sure it’s already been said, but they look like early-mid 90’s prelude wheels.

While those definitely look very similar, they aren’t quite it.

I can see slightly thinner spokes and more aggressive straight lines where the spokes meet the rims on those EK’s. The ones on my car look more “rounded” and stubby in general, if that makes sense.

Yes, that’s it! I checked and the Prelude does have the same bolt pattern as my S40 so that leaves out any trace of doubt.

Many thanks!

Ah I see, Honda probably reused similar designs across the range in different measurements.

That makes sense. They must have used similar designs for both cars just with differing details.
