So at my Honda dealership they have a set of 16's there that i was told they would give me for just above cost. now i am undecided if i actually like them, i held one in my hand and i would say that it weighed maybe at MOST 13lbs. no if i remember correctly they are Omni but i am not sure. this picture isn't the exact ones but they are the same design. what do you guys think? yes or no?

What finish is on the wheels? If its silver then i say yes but if its chrome then no. Chrome wheels IMO looks ugly on white cars. Im thinking there are not chrome since they only weight 13 lbs.

Yeah they aren't the ones in the picture, that is what they look like stylewise, they are a little more silver then the ones in the pic and a little less chrome but they are still kinda chromey which is what makes me kinda iffy on them. but i do like the style... hmmm decisions decisions.... i need to come up with the money for them either way lol

not bad, but they will look kinda silly if your car stays at stock height.

Sorry my mistake they aren't Omni they are Dai's Nebula model in hyper silver i think. i saw them in a pretty dark room so they may be gunmetal, one or the other cause that is the onlt color options for them lol

im gonna have to vote NAY...

i think they'd be a bit much on your stock looking EG.

bronze rota c8s or HD inc. hairpins would look much cooler.

02-23-2007, 02:26 PM
Or black OZ Ultraleggera's[8D][8D]

Fiirkan
02-23-2007, 02:36 PM
Well i think my final verdict is nay, they like byers said are just too bling bling for my hatch, and since my car is only going to get stanley cler corners(in shipping) non-C/F duckbill and an OEM lip. and maybe sone red/clear tails they would still stand out a bit much. there was another set of 14's at the honda dealership that i liked and they said they can get em in 15's too so i will look into that. or bite the bullet and order some Rota's or try and find a good deal on some OZ Ultraleggera's *drools* i love those wheels


Oh and another thing, it is kinda bad when a company makes replica wheels but uses the pictures of their real name counterpart:eek: take a look at the light weight wheels section, they have SSR's Spoon's ect and they use the picture from the actual model

i have decided after today i am going through my honda dealership here for all stuff, i get great deals cause i get discount. and i am sick and tired of paying customs fees. $114 for my catback today... just for customs... that is B.S. i would hate to pay the customs for the wheels.. unless someone wants to ship em to me as a gift then we can bypass the customs

you should be able to get optional OEM wheels through them. Check out some of what was available for the 01-05s, they had some 15s. Nothing radical, but different from stock

that looks like a hx wheel ,oh tim i think our year hatches are 42 mm off set and i think the hfp wheels are sweet

edit you are right tim our year is a 45 mm off set

mxs
02-23-2007, 06:52 PM
yeah, whoops, I did the math for 42 instead of 45 but still... I don't know if this will work for you or not

Well don't i just suck at reading then:D

And if you can do a chop with the fit wheels on that car i will be able to make my final decision lol cause it is looking good in that pic

mxs
02-23-2007, 07:33 PM
they do look good, but I'm worried about the clearance on the inside

local://upfiles/4155/B53C8EED11F24CFA9B43EBAF7F7201DD.jpg

edit: I think I made them a little too big

Fiirkan
02-23-2007, 07:37 PM
yeah they look bigger then 16's. i will research into them, ask them at honda if there is anything that i can get to make em fit... hehehe i need to fit Fit wheels lol

mxs
02-23-2007, 07:40 PM
spacers would work; you may need extended wheel studs though

Fiirkan
02-23-2007, 07:45 PM
hmmmm if it comes that i may just get the 7 spoke's on the other chop... hmm but those are only 14's... hmm maybe it will be the 8 spokes i dunno i will decide in due time

mxs
02-23-2007, 07:50 PM
the 6 spokes are 15"

Fiirkan
02-23-2007, 09:14 PM

i would get them powder coated for anodized if they are aluminum, silver/chrome on white is just not a good combo imo
