Do hx wheels fit over the si front and rear calipers? i have a chance to get a set of four. thanks

if they are at least 14 inch rims because 13 inch won't

cinci00si

they are 14s i wont have to shave my calipers or anything?

For the fronts, I think you need to grind down the calipers to make it fit or you can run spacers. Funny thing is, I was just looking at the HX wheels thread on here and just got that info, lol.

You don't happen to be picking up a set of bronze HXs?

cinci00si

yeah, not going to lie i was too lazy to search it. mine are factory silver, my family runs a big car restoration company and we have access to powder coating and im thinking either champ white or a gun metal.

me peronally I wouldn't power coat the SI wheel then you will lose value in the wheels. Then if you happen to curb them then you will have to repowder coat them. But thats just me.

^He's not talking about the Si wheels. He's asking if HX wheels can fit in his Si...

But yeah. I think HX wheels in white looks so good. I'm actually looking for a set for my EM1 and painting them white. It's hard to find a clean set nowadays. I say go for white.

Hope I answered your question.

cinci00si

yeah very true man, but recoating wouldnt be a huge deal. ill get these done for free. idk yet lol. that thread of all the hx wheels painted was too much inspiration lol heres a pic of my car as of yesterday empty inside. ive had it four three months, needs a new rear lip. it was a lot worse lookin

cinci00si

thanks bro. yeah white jsut looks nasty. then a red h on the caps...

enycesam

I can't see the pic, it's not showing up, lol. Yeah white with the red H's look good. Baby Type R's.

cinci00si

my bad i forgot to post it dumass = me

enycesam

Haha, it's all good.
Looks good from what I can see man. I think white HXs will look good on her.

cinci00si

i like my other wheels too i just want some back ups to change it up lol

The 99-00 Si and the 96-00 EX have the larger front brakes (10.2" rotors) so if the HX wheels are 13" they definitely won't fit and if they are 14" they will probably fit but the caliper corners MAY have to be ground slightly.

cinci00si

thanks man

hx's are a 14 inch wheel, and yes they'll fit on your coupe .... my friend
had hx's on his black ej6 coupe painted same color gunmetal as the itr's
with red honda logo looked fresh,and his coupe was black too...i'll get some pics and post for inspiration maybe.

cinci00si

thatd be sweet man, im more into the darker colors.

BrazyWest206

Red and white keep it bright fo show looks nice

cinci00si

yeah, but white n red said steal me even more then an si already does

BrazyWest206

But if you are goin for looks then thats the way to go. black on black just looks dead. I mean it looks nice but too dark. brighten it up. doesn't mean your black rims aren't gonna get stolen. They will if someone wants it.

cinci00si

Ha good point. theres no way to stop people. other then a tactical 12gauge mossberg lol
