I have a 2015 Honda Civic EX-L with 17” alloy rims. I’m trying to find a set of steel wheels so I can slap some winter tires on them (I want to go a diameter down to 16” for the winter tires). I looked on TireRack and I can get a decent price on a tire/wheel package but the shipping on the wheels themselves is pretty bad, $20 per wheel. Next I checked local junkyards and the prices were pretty crappy for used wheels - $120 and up and mostly alloys compared to $60 on TireRack. Most didn’t even have the 16” or the OEM size in stock. I’ve also looked online to see if I can get a better deal and/or free shipping and I’m having a tough time finding wheels that match the specs I’d need. While the prices are good at $60-65 with free shipping sometimes, I need a 16” wheel, 6.5x5 143.1mm wheel with a 42mm offset and a 64.1mm center bore. You’d think I was trying to search for the loving Ark of the Covenant as nothing matches up, mostly the center bore (usually this is 70mm). I’ve read that while the lugs should secure it you can still get vibration if you go oversized on the bore. Can someone confirm if this is true, or point me in the direction of a good wheel online?

Seat Safety Switch posted:Most aftermarket wheels will have a 70mm centre bore and expect that you install a plastic adapter such as a hub-centric ring to size it down to your specific centre bore. They're quite inexpensive. Any local tire shop should be able to provide one (and probably Tire Rack as well, if you contact their support line). I didn’t realize you could get an adapter ring. I’m going to look into that! Thanks! I’ll check a local message board I know of too, or possibly Craigslist.
