    My wagon is rolling on 3-piece Black Racing BR-R wheels. I found out that these are actually some of THE rarest wheels around, and much more rare than the Spoon SW388 wheels on my EG. Try doing a Google search on them, Google Image search, etc. - you won't even find them.

    They are period-correct 1988-1992 manufactured wheels from Japan. It blew my mind because I thought they were like Konigs/Rotas or some other knock-off (no disrespect to knock-offs at all, I love them too) wheels meant to look like old Watanbes/Panasports. There's a huge "rare wheel" topic on another Honda-only forum where these wheels are mentioned - I know of three sets in the whole country, but I guess not wveryone who owns them posts on that other Honda-only site or even has internet.

    Well the size is 15x6.5 with +30 offset, so they stick out a decent amount on an EF. The weight? Honestly they're not crazy light weight, and the actual bolts/nuts that hold the wheels together are pretty weighty by themselves.

    If I had to estimate I'd say 14lbs. per wheel or so. They're not heavy but they're also not Rota 12lbs. or Spoon 8.5lbs. either.

    Rota and Konig make really nice knock-offs that look the same minus the bolts. Again I thought these were one piece wheels with fake bolts, which I really didn't mind either. When I went to paint them (the spokes were blue when I got the car with them on it) I realized "holy **** these are true 3-piece wheels!"
