You really should just try to sell them to someone with a Fiat and skip the hassle and extra costs.

Most over the counter ones I've seen are 15s, a few 14s though

Making money on something that didn't fit your car sounds like the best idea to me lol.

They are 14" and they weren't a smokin deal or nothing. I want to make them work because I don't think there's a lot of fiat grinds biting at the bit for wheels.
since it's just 2 mil you could go at it with a round file for about a minute I'm sure
There's a lot more to wheels than getting them to mount up, you'll also have to worry about the hub diameter as many wheels are designed for hubcentric cars. Your lug nut actually seats into a part of the wheel that is often an insert washer of sorts which is designed to be crushed down/held down in a somewhat uniform matter. Honda stock lug nuts are also of the ball style which is intended to be used with the stock ball seat wheels and is recommended to be changed when using aftermarket wheels. Although ball and acorn seats are "similar" and are usually interchanged unintentionally without any negative results. I'd really just go for some sort of similar wheel of another reputable brand. Doing a 15x7 with a 205/50/15 is generally considered one of the best setups for a Civic/Integra so if you can nail both those sizes with an acceptable offset, ect. You'll definitely be insanely more happy with it over the garbage pizza cutters or something ill fitting. Do you happen to know the specs of the wheels? Is the offset even acceptable for a FWD car? Speaking of pizza cutters, those 165/something/13 snow tires are HILARIOUS. Took the Civic for a quick rip around the block to feel out the tires and it felt like ice skates in the wet. The steering was super light compared to my 185/65/14's and almost rivaled my Integra's power steering... I'm really hoping these work okay in the snow because they sure as fuck don't stop as well as my balding Nankang Toursports.
I'm really not looking for 15s, they look way to big. I'm pretty sure the offset is somewhere around +15 or something similar, they're pretty deep. And I can find some acorn lug nuts anywhere, shouldn't be an issue. Fiat hub size is 58mm, while civic is 54mm, I've read that a spigot ring should fix that problem right up. [editline]11th December 2015[/editline] I'll definitely need some fancy washers considering the lug bolt is going to be off center for the hole which has that deep bevel for acorn style bolts. (Oh yeah fiats hubs are bolt in from wheel side, not lug out.)
Alfa Romeo you dirty, dirty tease. [t]http://i.imgur.com/AeaE5ds.jpg[/t]
where's the engine [editline]11th December 2015[/editline] alfa is supposed to make pretty engines not pretty engine covers look at the engine bay of a 156 GTA and tell me you don't have an erection
That thing is so crammed full it took me a little bit to see where the intakes are.

twin spark is a meme
What's the difference between a forward and reverse manual valve body? There's a mod for my 3-speed that's a reverse. In the car it goes "P-R-N-D-2-1" how would it be shifting?
Water In Fuel light is coming on on startup in my truck now, indicating the filter is getting full. (Staying on indicates water.) New filter is just under $20, this will be an expensive week.
God damnit it's snowing.
Yaaaaaay its that time of year again. Where did that script go that turns the snow into funnies?
Do I need tire chains to post on FP now?

[QUOTE=DPKiller;49294437]God damnit it's snowing.[/QUOTE] If we still had the AA subforum, we should dedicate a thread to posting our cars in the snow. Snow posting happens here now, I guess [t]http://i.imgur.com/BVydxUA.jpg[/t] We'll get minus degrees centigrade this weekend, maybe we'll get snow for a few days this winter. :v: The less snow the better, I hate salt.

We had rain, a tornado and they finally cleared a mudslide blocking the main route north to Seattle yesterday. I'll be surprised if we get snow this winter.
we got ~rain~ yesterday—in california!! [editline]11th December 2015[/editline] I winterproofed my car by plugging in the hardtop's rear defroster

Pulling into work, I heard a snap and what sounded like bb's hitting the pavement. Went to leave work today and couldn't do more than 20mph without the rear end swaying bad from side to side. Snapped Panhard Rod.

It would reverse it to be P-R-N-1-2-3 and you would give up the automatic D position as your transmission won't automatically upshift, sort of like how the auto-stick feature of your Charger is to a limited degree.
Got a job at a BMW/MB Specialist Shop in a pretty swanky part of town! Doing mostly clerical work but I'll take working around cars over working around food and college students any day! Might actually have money for race car parts now haha.
Only until you have race car parts. And then you only have money for 'Fucking shit, I just fucking replaced that fucking part you fucking car' parts. :v:
