I've been dreaming of getting this set of HFP wheels, so thought I'd share my joy of their arrival and also a little history

bought my DX with stock 14 inch black steelies. Then I bought a wrecked SI so the sI wheels went on, and the steelies carried the sI shell to the junk yard.

stripped the SI wheels and refinished in white, loved the look, didn't like that they were 15s


while I was working on the SIs I was rocking these sweet 14 steelies in white. Got an awesome sidewall puncture, so I actually sold this set for $300 on craisglist (I know I was stunned!)


and with the money bought these for $200



aaaand I hated them. The paint was crap, the fitment was crap, so I sold them, for $250!! I love craigslist
and bought these fat fives someone had already painted white for me, $250, so no magic deal on the craigslist this time


The fat fives are still on the car, but I found a good deal on the wheels I've really wanted for an age, so I stripped my SIs and sold them bare, without tires for $300


made a little extra money stripping some friends wheels, here's my daughter helping


so I could afford a set of HFP Split Spoke 7s, SS7s as I've seen them called sometimes. They are a 4 lug 16 inch version of the EP3 type r wheel (which is 5 lug 17inch)

The boxes arrive!!!


seductive teasing in wheel lingerie


oh hello! you look so much better in person than I ever imagined!



sitting in front of my fat fives makes em look like spinners (yuck) but some idea


and I'm pretty tempted to refinish them just like my SIs, white with red H's, opinions?

 

I tried to sell you mine years ago and you never wanted to buy them. and i sold them for cheap too.

Those are really nice wheels. My mate has a set of the Type-R ones on his 5th gen Prelude, and I've seen a picture of two of those 4-bolt ones on a Civic and they work really well too. Pretty rare, I think? Over here in Europe I've seen those as an option on "Sport" trim 7th gen Civic hatches.

Friend's EP3-R ones:

 

they should look good on there

 

got those wheels on my SI. those wheels are pretty rare people always offering to buy them off me ever since I put them on but when I wanted to sell them nobody wanted them

 

I've seen these wheels in 4lug on EP3s here in the states. Nice look. I'd do them in white to go with the car more.

 

wheels are not rare, you can still buy them new today...

indeed, not rare, but who likes to pay full price?

 

Finally. These are the only OEM wheels for a Civic I would pay more than $50 for.

 

I know I don't but i tried to sell you mine with tires for 450 bucks like 3-4 years ago. Couldnt get any cheaper than that.

 

ok... so what, do you want an apology? I'm sorry I didn't buy your wheels.

 

Nice purchase.
