Stupid question... How can you tell the diff. between the two?

 

I believe HX = 14 inch and VX = 13 inch. I personally have the VX rims

 

yea plus if you compare hx and vx rims together the spokes are smaller than the other.
my gf has vx i got hx.
she doesnt like the vx's because the spokes are smaller
oh well

 

I've got VX on my hatch.Personally I love em but to find a good tire you have like **** for choices. You can check out the Sumitomo's and their pretty cheap for like 40 bucks apiece or go my route and get some Advan A048 but it's not something you would drive on everyday for the cost of one tire for a 13' wheel is beyond most people. Plus with the VX your pretty much limited to the smaller dx/lx/vx/cx brake setup cause my VX's wont even go over the GSR rotors I have on my 4dr no matter what you tried to do.

 

VX 13x5 45mm offset ~9lbs


HX 14x5.5 45mm offset ~11 lbs

 

^^^

 

Rockin some VX's on my Hatch. Tire choices are extremely limited, as egizzle8 mentioned. I like my VX rims, I just wish there were more tire choices. Probably gonna try the Sumitomo's next time I need tires.

 

The lack of good 13 and 14 inch street tires is SERIOUSLY disturbing. Last good 13 was the Yok AVSi in 185/60-13.

We need to organize a purchase of an overseas container of tires. There are tons of small tires in Japan for all of the little commuter cars...

I have several sets of 13s, including my VXs. They just sit around on display with old crusty tires. It sucks.

 

I'd probably get a set of tires if you guys wanna get an order together.

 

i actually like that style a lot, do they make them bigger tho =\ 15 or 16s would be nice lol

 

Im wanting to change my tires on my Vx's Too. Where do you buy the Sumitomo's? any tire store?

Well since enkie makes the hx's (dont know about vx) they do make them bigger, but you need 4x114 or 5 lug, i.e. from itr's

 

16x8 would be meeeean

 

James4o8, I'm sure you could find a good deal on the Sumitomo's online. I can't remember where I found them last time I was pricing them.
