Honda and Acura Factory Wheels: Sizes, Bolt Patterns, and What They're Actually Worth
Honda and Acura wheels. They're everywhere. And I mean everywhere — Honda has been the second-bestselling brand in the US for decades, and every single one of those cars has four wheels that eventually need replacing.
At Santa Ana Wheel, Honda/Acura wheels make up a massive chunk of our 47,000+ inventory. We've been dealing these since 1958, so I'll give you the real breakdown — not the copy-paste spec sheets you find on random forums, but the actual practical info you need.
Honda Bolt Patterns: The Two You Need to Know
Honda keeps things relatively simple compared to other brands. There are basically two bolt patterns across the entire Honda lineup:
5x114.3 (5x4.5"): This is the majority of Hondas. Accord, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline, Passport — all 5x114.3. If your Honda has 5 lugs, this is almost certainly your pattern.
5x114.3... also: Wait, that's the same one. Yep. Honda has been incredibly consistent here. Even the Civic switched to 5x114.3 starting with the 10th generation (2016+). Before that, older Civics were 5x114.3 too — going back to the 2006 8th gen. Very old Civics (pre-2006) were 4x100.
So if your Honda was made in the last 15+ years and has 5 lugs, it's 5x114.3. Love that simplicity.
The exception: Honda Fit and some older Civics use 4x100. The Fit never moved to 5-lug. If you've got a Fit, you're in a different world from the rest of the Honda lineup.
Center Bore: Honda's Secret Handshake
Here's where it gets Honda-specific. Honda uses a 64.1mm center bore across most of their lineup. That's unique to Honda. It means Honda wheels fit on Hondas perfectly, but if you try to put them on a Toyota (which uses 60.1mm), the center bore is too big. You'd need hub-centric rings.
This is actually a selling point for Honda OEM wheels — they're hub-centric specifically for your Honda. Aftermarket "universal" wheels use a bigger center bore to fit multiple brands, which means you need rings for proper centering. OEM? Slides right on. Centered perfectly. Every time.
Honda Civic Wheels: By Generation
8th-9th Gen Civic (2006-2015):
- Bolt: 5x114.3, Center Bore: 64.1mm
- Base DX/LX: 15" steel or 16" alloy
- EX/EX-L: 16" alloy
- Si: 17" alloy (unique designs, these are sought-after)
10th Gen Civic (2016-2021):
- Bolt: 5x114.3, Center Bore: 64.1mm
- LX: 16" alloy
- Sport/EX: 17" or 18" alloy
- Si: 18" alloy
- Type R (FK8): 20" — and these wheels are worth a small fortune used. We're talking $300-500 per wheel.
11th Gen Civic (2022+):
- Bolt: 5x114.3, Center Bore: 64.1mm
- LX: 16" alloy
- Sport/EX-L: 17" or 18"
- Si: 18" matte black alloy
- Type R (FL5): 19" forged — these go for $400-600+ per wheel used. Insane value retention.
Honda Accord Wheels
9th Gen Accord (2013-2017):
- Bolt: 5x114.3, Center: 64.1mm
- LX: 16" alloy
- Sport/EX-L: 17" or 18"
- Touring: 18" or 19"
10th Gen Accord (2018-2022):
- Same bolt pattern and center bore
- LX: 17" alloy
- Sport/EX-L: 17" or 19"
- Touring: 19" alloy with machined finish — beautiful wheel, holds value well
11th Gen Accord (2023+):
- Bolt: 5x114.3 (still!)
- Center: 64.1mm (yep, still)
- Ranges from 17" to 19" depending on trim
- The new Sport design with dark finish is already a hot seller on the used market
Honda CR-V and Pilot
CR-V has been Honda's bestseller in recent years. These wheels move fast in the used market.
CR-V (2017-2024): 5x114.3, 64.1mm bore. 17" on most trims, 18" or 19" on Touring and higher. The 2023+ CR-V Hybrid has some unique wheel designs that are especially popular.
Pilot (2016-2024): 5x120, 64.1mm bore. Wait — did I say 5x120? Yes. The Pilot is the oddball in the Honda family. It uses 5x120, NOT 5x114.3. So do the Passport (2019+) and Ridgeline (2017+). Don't assume all Hondas are the same bolt pattern. The Pilot/Passport/Ridgeline family uses 5x120.
This catches people. I get calls at least weekly from someone who bought "Honda wheels" online for their Pilot and they don't fit because they assumed 5x114.3.
Acura Wheels: Honda's Luxury Side
Acura wheels are functionally Honda wheels with fancier designs. And often, they're physically interchangeable.
Acura TLX/ILX: 5x114.3, 64.1mm. The TLX shares specs with the Accord platform. 17" to 19" depending on trim. A-Spec wheels (19") are popular and hold value nicely — $150-250 per wheel used.
Acura MDX: This is the Pilot's luxury sibling. 5x120, 64.1mm. 18" to 20". MDX wheels can physically fit Pilots and vice versa (if the diameter matches). The MDX A-Spec's 20" wheels are gorgeous but pricey even used.
Acura RDX (2019+): 5x114.3, 64.1mm. 18" or 19". Based on the Civic platform, the newer RDX shares its bolt pattern with the rest of the Honda car lineup.
Acura Integra (2023+): 5x114.3, 64.1mm. Based on the 11th gen Civic. 17" standard, 18" A-Spec. The A-Spec wheels look sharp and are worth $130-200 per wheel used.
Acura NSX: 5x120 with unique specs. If you've got NSX wheels, call us. Seriously. Those are worth a lot.
Cross-Compatibility Between Honda and Acura
Quick reference for which Honda and Acura wheels interchange:
5x114.3 family (same bolt, same bore):
- Civic ↔ Accord ↔ CR-V ↔ HR-V ↔ ILX ↔ TLX ↔ RDX ↔ Integra
- Watch diameter and offset, but they'll bolt on
5x120 family:
- Pilot ↔ Passport ↔ Ridgeline ↔ MDX ↔ Odyssey
- Different sizes across models — a 20" MDX wheel on an Odyssey looks wild but works
Never mix between the two groups. 5x114.3 and 5x120 are NOT compatible. The difference is only 5.7mm in bolt circle diameter, but that's enough to make it dangerous.
What Honda/Acura OEM Wheels Are Worth
Based on what we actually buy and sell — not theoretical numbers:
- Civic base (16"): $35-60 per wheel
- Civic Si (18"): $80-150 per wheel
- Civic Type R (20"): $300-500 per wheel
- Accord Sport/Touring (19"): $100-180 per wheel
- CR-V (17"-18"): $50-120 per wheel
- Pilot/Passport (18"-20"): $80-180 per wheel
- Acura TLX A-Spec (19"): $150-250 per wheel
- Acura MDX (19"-20"): $130-250 per wheel
- Acura NSX: $400+ per wheel — rare and in demand
Prices vary by condition and exact design. These ranges assume used wheels in good condition — some curb rash okay, no cracks or bends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put Accord wheels on my Civic?
Same bolt pattern and center bore, so they'll physically bolt on. But Accord wheels are typically wider and have a different offset. The most common issue is rubbing against suspension components or fender liners, especially at full steering lock. Measure twice before committing. Matching diameters (both 17" or both 18") gives you the best chance of a clean fit.
Why are Honda Type R wheels so expensive?
Because they're forged (not cast like most OEM wheels), they're unique to the Type R, and demand is insane. The Type R community is passionate and specific — they want OEM wheels, not replicas. Limited production plus high demand equals premium pricing. Basic economics doing its thing.
My 2018 Pilot has 5x120 — can I use BMW wheels?
BMW also uses 5x120 on many models, but the center bore is different (72.6mm for BMW vs 64.1mm for Honda). The BMW wheel will fit over the Honda hub since 72.6mm > 64.1mm, but you'd need hub-centric rings to center them properly. Offset is usually different too. It CAN work with modifications, but OEM-for-OEM fitment is always cleaner and safer.
Are steel Honda wheels worth anything?
Not much, honestly. Used Honda steel wheels go for $15-30 each. There's a small market — winter tire setups, spare tires, and beater cars — but the value is low. If you're deciding whether to sell steel wheels or scrap them, selling still beats scrap pricing, but don't expect big money.
Where should I sell my Honda or Acura OEM wheels?
Right here. We buy Honda and Acura wheels every single day. Type R wheels, basic Civic alloys, Pilot wheels, Acura MDX — all of it. Free quote, fast payment, no nonsense. We've been doing this since 1958 and we've got the 4.8 Google rating to prove we do it right.
Honda Wheel Authentication Tips
With Honda and Acura wheels being so common, the replica market is active. Especially for Type R and A-Spec wheels. How to make sure you're getting the real thing:
Check the part number on the back. Honda OEM wheels have a part number starting with "42700-" cast into the rear of the wheel. Replicas either lack this or have a different format. Cross-reference the part number with Honda's parts catalog or enthusiast databases — the Civic and Accord communities are excellent at cataloging OEM part numbers.
Look for the foundry mark. Many Honda OEM wheels are made by Enkei, RAYS, or Hitachi Metals. These foundries leave their mark on the wheel. No foundry mark? Suspicious. Wrong foundry mark for that particular wheel? Even more suspicious.
Weight check. Replicas typically weigh 10-20% more than genuine OEM. If you know the spec weight (check forums), a simple bathroom scale test tells you a lot. A wheel that should be 20 lbs coming in at 24 lbs is almost certainly a replica.
We authenticate every Honda and Acura wheel in our inventory at Santa Ana Wheel. It's non-negotiable. More details on spotting fakes in our OEM authentication guide.
Bottom Line
Honda keeps things pretty simple — mostly 5x114.3 across the car lineup with the Pilot/Passport/Ridgeline being the 5x120 exceptions. Know your bolt pattern, know your center bore, match the diameter, and you're golden.
