Well , i am picking up a 98 ek and will NOT be dumping tons of cash in it. I want that nice fresh oem look, like it just fell out of the broucher.

Just curious what you guy think. i am leaning towards blades but i think they might look to big on stock ride height.

Hx wheels are a bit hard to find in canada it seems (i am assuming it was never sold here in hx trim)

 

Blades wont look big. They are just 15s. you can run 195/55/15 or 205/50/15. SI rims are always a thought.

 

There's no correct answer to this question. It's your car, pick a set of rims and live with it.

 

yea i am aware its my choice.

But i dont have money to be changng my mind all the time. I see lots of lowered ek on oem rims and they dont aways look right. I have vxs at home from another car but i know they are to small.

Iwas thinking about si. they are nice and simple.

 

There's your answer

For the record, that'd be my choice as well

 

I'd just go with oem si wheels. Or even integra ls or special edition wheels

 

I'd also go with EM1 wheels. Throw some fat tires like 205/50/15 on there to take up the gap.

My old car with 195/55/15...

 

Id say between the Blades and the HOP wheels found on the 01-03 civic



And what ever these wheels are

 

I think blades look the best but thats jus me

 

The HX wasn't sold in Canada.

I'd recommend the 2000 DX Special wheels from the hatches in Canada. We didn't get those models in the US. They look like LS mesh wheels, but smaller.

 

sweet crx.

 

i'm using that wheel on my ek hatch. OEM wheel on a Civic ES in Malaysia.Here's some pics of my ride








jus need to lower it a bit.

 

that looks really nice.

And yes i would love the DX special. I see the cars from time to time and they look amazing in oem form. but the odds i would find those wheels are slim to none.

Probly go with em1

 

i like either Si or blades.

 

EK4 wheels if you can find them.

They were OEM... just not in the US. Best looking OE wheels Honda ever made IMO, at least in 4x100.


They're normally pretty expensive in good condition (like $400-500+ a set), but I know that one of the MAJOR honda-tech JDM suppliers occasionally gets some that are slightly curbed but refinishable and sell them for next to nothing.

A guy I know just got a set for like $200 shipped that just needed sanding and new grey paint. This particular set wasn't even listed on their website... he called to ask if they ever got them in, and they said they had a set there he could have.

 

 

yup, unless i can find the SE wheels, but no hopes there.

 

very nice looks good! i thought about those wheels for a while because ive never seen them on a car near me before
