Drop center on the honda, about 11 3/8", so you would have to trim way past the 4 vents on the wheel center. Ford also made 15" smoothie innies, the blue wheel, pickups from about 57 to 63. The blue 15" center is 12 5/8" across, so you would still trim to about the vent, but notice the slope on the blue wheel is steeper than the 16" wheel. The wheels Mart showed look to have no vent either. Some AG wheels are made like this, no vent and welded all the way around, apparently its strong enough.

This Honda wheel is 4 1/2" wide, about a 91 or so. Next series 92 95 they got wider, but after that 14's became the style. I'm not familiar with other makes.

build details which are helpfull. thanks
