Re: Civic HX rims 14"? (01VaS2K)
Thanks. Now I need to find a set. Don't really care if the clear coat is coming off. I plan on powder coating them black or gunmetal. Anyone have some?

any pics of powdercoated or black hx rims?
Krylon is your friend...
I'm going back to silver though... tired of black wheels after years and tired of everyone else doing the same thing...

I just picked up a set of HX rims powdercoated gunmetal with 195/60/14 falken aziens for 450 shipped. Good deals can be found!

I have heard from some people that the hx's wheels won't clear the 96 and up civic ex's brakes. I wanted to get a set but i saw a post on h-t about that problem. Does anyone know if that is true?

sweet! nice ride skyec. they dont' even look 14", more like 15" wheels. but if you think about si & gsr rims on your car, reality kicks in, they look like 14". i wouldn't mind settling for those if i can find them real cheap!

Re: Civic HX rims 14"? (Hatch_92)
i believe the HX rims give u a low gear advantage because they are smaller...Smaller rims give u better acceleration
