$412 from H and A Honda Accessories. Genuine OEM. No center caps though. Get a brand new wheel.

Take a check for the total amount and then buy a used wheel from someone here on the forum and pocket the rest.

And they claim the maker is Asahi, the OEM manufacturer. They could be either pictures of a stock wheel, or from the importer's catalog.

I am just trying to find out what these wheels are.

They could be the same wheel outside of the Honda distribution channel. Although I don't know how.

Or they could be a missing some important feature. Although I don't know what feature that is.

Or they could be a chieap knock-off with inferior materials and quality. Those are commonly available today. ALthough, the ads say they have the same manufacturer as the stock wheel.

Confused. Very confused

Stock wheels are Enkei, not Asahi I believe.
