Default HX and VX wheels?

I think the HX and VX wheels are the same but I have heard that one is bigger than the other and some other stuff. Can anyone explain a difference, and maybe some photos to go along with it? I want a set for my EF hatch. How much did you get yours for? Any for sale?


Thank you.

Ah, so the HX wheels are a tad bit wider and bigger. I like both though. Anyone know what the usual asking prices are for them?

HX=14
VX=13

I just picked up a set of nice VX wheels with tires for $100 bucks. Just posted that I was looking for some in the marketplace and a few days later I had them.

Sweet. I will look around. I was thinking that maybe I would want the HX wheels because I currently have 13s on my car and I don't like how large the tires have to be. 14s would make that a little better, plus they are wider. And they have a different look too. More like ITR wheels or something. But thanks!!!

Funny you say that, because [and correct me if im wrong] I believe the CTR, ITR and HX wheels are all designed by Enkei

Quality wheels, go with the HX and enjoy them!

vx won't fit on larger 10.2" rotors and the HX won't clear some rotors when they have new brake pads installed ..HX are 5mm different offset than other 14" Honda wheels ..wierd...
