ok thats what i was told... so the hx rims i see on here all the time are 96-97 hx rims?? i only asked because i need new tires and on tirerack there wasn't anything for 2001 civic hx. right now i'm running 165 tires. can i get something wider on there? i need better traction. plus i can't find any nice performance tires for that size rim.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by RedRacerCivic &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Go to page one, it even says what the rims are:

"ROLLERS/SUSPENSION
2001 honda HX 14" alloy rims (14 lbs)
ground control coilovers (3 1/2 drop- front: 3 inch drop-rear)
stock brakes, for now
ractive front strut bar
larger sway bars
"</TD></TR></TABLE>

i know what page one says... its my car. i was just confused on whether i was given the correct information.

EDIT- i do plan to paint them black to match my carbon fiber hood. or would they look better gunmetal?
