IMO, the Si wheels aren't so hot at all. HFP wheels look 10x better to me.

Don't think the stock ones are terrible, but definitely like the HFP wheels better. especially would like to have a set of the 18's

Screw the hfp 18's they are overpriced plus i can just powdercoat my stock 17's which look just fine to me why add those rims to the price of the car when you can save and buy some sicker 1's.

For the price of the HFP's I bought a set of 5zigen Fn01r-c's and they weigh less and are an inch wider. Save for something wider and lighter. You will feel the difference.

i know nothing about cars so bare with me

why are wider tires better? is it cause there is more rubber to get better traction?
is there any other advantage like handling?

I love my stock rims. They grew on to me.
I can't wait til its time for some new BETTER
tires to slap on. Some yokohamas is what
I'll get.
I don't give a F is people think the stock rims
look like flowers.
