Civic Hybrid Wheels (DUBS YO)

I saw a brand new hybrid driving around the other day with these wheels on:

These wheels look hot when rolling... kind of remind me of wheels you'd see on a VW or a Benz.

Anyone have these wheels on their EG/DC/EK/EP?

Re: (jaydeum4lyfe)

They're design was based off the Insight wheel.

Honda claims they offer better aerodynamics which will in turn promote better mpg.

Exactly, and the insight probably doesn't need as much airflow over the brakes to cool them as it uses regenerative braking to assist in slowing down the vehicle.

I doubt they are very wide either, skinnier tires = less rolilng resistance = better mpg.

hey I found these on ebay, only $100 per rim (cheapest 15" wheel you will find for 8 lbs)! sold w/o centercaps though, i think it would look a little bit like a del sol fat five...
says they are 15x6.5... wider than I would have thought, pretty good size!
