Will these rims work on my MC

for my bday my brother gave me his rims from his 92 honda civic hatch which he paid alot for them. He's getting out of the car scene but i wanted to know if they will fit on my MC. Sorry I'm a newb at this so if this topic has been cover before I apolize. Thanx in advance.

they are not perfect, has some curbage on all 4 wheels. I don't really like them and was thinking about selling them for cheap to pick up another setup.

yeah i don't think i'm gonna keep them because i don't like the chrome lip or is there another term for them. Just make me a reasonable offer and I can use that money to buy another set.

no, chrome or polished lip is the correct term. if you can post pics of the damage i'd appreciate it.

you do realize those are absolutely SWEET wheels right? A brief search on Froogle (granted, I know nothing about these vendors):

I'm not sure you appreciate how special of a gift you got. I wish my bro would give me a set of Volks. BTW, the TE-37 and LE-37's are the same wheel, the LE's are just a limited edition version of the TE-37's. . .

There is NO WAY those horrible wheels will fit on your MC, you better sell them to me quick, in fact if you throw in $50 I'll take them off your hands and cover the shipping.

Those are niiiiiiiice.

What color is your car? I'd at least try them on to see if you like them cause they certainly are nice wheels.

heheh...there's a certain way to measure it.. I didn't know that. well I've made up my mind i'm gonna sell them. so I'm not sure about the rules on this forum about selling things since I just join. Some forum require to have a certain number of post before selling an item. So i guess i'll wait, but if you guy like the wheel just throw me a reasonable offer. I try putting them on the Mini today and didn't like it at all, it's a little too big for my taste. I think 17 would be better.
