I believe they are called "Snowflakes" at least that's the term I've seen through different forums.

^those are snowflakes.

those JDM wheels don't really have a nickname. so uncommon.

I like "eg6 webs", or "JDM webs"....

they look like a spider web to me.

everyone calls rims different things. Just because they're snowflakes over there, doesn't mean it's wrong. or that I'm saying they're wrong. or that there "can't be a rim in America called snowflakes"
or that they're not snowflakes here.

people call rims what they think they look like, then as trends form they become known. Obviously the trend "is" known over there, because there are more of them.

and "not" known here because they're so rare.

Also, Do they "have" the integra "snowflakes" there? if so, what do "they" call them" ?

I can google enough, and honda-tech enough and find every rim called the wrong thing. what is your point?

We need an official name. :D
If someone mentions Sir wheels, si wheels, hx wheels, ls mesh, vx wheels, gsr blades etc. We automatically know what there talking about.


I guess finding a name for them, is as hard as finding a set of them. lol.

That's what I tried to point out, but not worth the argument, I love the look of the SiR "Snowflakes".

Here is my new audio setup Gathers GX-4344sfa head unit, GZX-4344a cd player/CD changer controller and GZC-7108 armrest mounted CD changer, until I can find the elusize GXC-9300sfa/9349sfa DSP system.

Haha, Seeing as we only get country and NPR here in my neck of the woods, it was the best station to use with the FM modulator in the Sirius radio, so technically it's Rock, Octane or Faction on Sirius.

well spotted i never noticed that, and that would explain why the one odd one is slightly raised when fitted lol. aleast i have the other 3 though,
i found a friend who knows fireblades inside out and he sorted my bike out so i never needed to sell my "snowflakes" in the end which i'm actually pretty pleased about as they do look on the sir.

i still think the civic is worth buying for spares you never know when you might need some parts, you never know i might even do it up! and £150 thats a bit of a bargain

Nice find !! I've never seen the top pic before and from I can see on my phone it looks to be a jdm civic that's been imported to the uk (see licence plates and the UK peugeot 206 in the background) . The lower image is a common one from the jdm brochure, still any decent photos like the one above are still hard to find.

I'd post pics of them on the car as well, but I still don't have tires for them. I'm torn right now...I love my EVOs and I'm a sucker for white on white.
