Weren't these wheels like 10- 11 pounds??

And can someone direct me to where I can order these from the dealer for a good price?

dealer and good price are two words that do not go together

some dealers are good priced, but as far as directly from Honda DEALERSHIPS.....nope, good price and Honda Dealerships don't go together -- unless of course if you work there

According to wheelweights.net they are 11.75 lbs a piece.

Just looking for an alternative to slipstreams.

ya, I have gunmetal HX rims on the front of my car (in my avatar) and I love the way they look, I just think they are too small and not wide enough.

I have to have spacers between the rim and my rotor in order to clear my STOCK brakes

somebody buy mine please. pics will be up in exactly one week. i went to America's Tire Co. today and ordered 195/60-14 *Falken Azenis* This alone costed me $240. My wheels were painted by me in a 3 step process. 1 stripped to bare material with aircraft stripper 2 primered 3 spray painted =P Took 4 hours! i took hella good care of these wheels. I'm asking $450 + shipping firm. buy em!

edit: the tires were special ordered and wont be here till next thursday so when i said that the tires are brand new, i really meant brand new.

lol sorry. here u go




they are actually my friends because i am selling my 17's to him, and trying to get 95 GSR rims

but i like the weight and the look of the HX's, but i don't like the size of it, and the fact it doesn't clear my STOCK brakes, and putting washers/spacers causes loss of traction and i hate that , but i do like 'em

EDIT

haha, and......i know how this board is....for 1, my car is a coupe, and it IS clean, and 2, i could careless bout the comments on the z3's.

just thought i'd post in advance

laters

hx wheels are hardly ghetto, they are light, strong, and clean! just becuase they are not 17s does not mean they are not cool, if you want to maintain a sleeper image then factory is only way to go! my friends and i ONLY use either hx wheels and vx wheels, and we are prolly some of cleanist cars on site, i will try to post pics up soon! btw we use them for drag radiles and r compunds also! good luck, eric

the brakes i am using are my stock brakes (EX). and I don't know how the HX wheels clear gsr front brakes without washers/spacers, because I can't go anywhere if i take 'em off.

"washers/spacers"
using washers as spacers is not a good idea at all
i agree. i don't like 'em at all.

sorry, not gonna modify my brakes to make tiny hx rims clear.

the ones on my car i'm borrowing from my friend anyway because he's buying my other set of rims, and in the mean time, both of us are looking for 94-95 gsr rims to put on my car.

soo, my point is -- not worth it. i'll just run the spacers for now.
