HFP rims a go or no go?

06CivEXJon · 05-14-2006, 10:53 PM

I was thinking of getting some lightweight 17''s. I have seen them on a GG Ex Coupe on the boards, and wonder if anyone would suggest buying them or not? Are they lightweight, and is it possible to have them be flush with the bodyline? Thanks. I have a GG Ex Coupe, with stock 16''s no body kit, because i like the stock look way better than the dealer body kit. The HFP exhaust is it worth getting aswell, does it add any hp or go aftermarket?

the bronze color hfp look awesome On GG and i like the stock body as well.... i think the hfp muffler is only for the Si ... and its supposed to add little horses and a little depth..

I've got the HFP rims and they look hot on my car if ya ask me.

I would definitely put them on your car, they will look great on the GG
And if I am correct the HFP exhaust is only for the SI

Personally for the money I would spend on the HFP rims I would rather spend on some Work Emotion CRs unless someone was financing the car and they were an option. The HFP is an axle-back and gains little to no power.

I don't think the hfp rims are any lighter than the oem EX rims, if they are itts by 1or 2lbs, butt they would definatly look good on there.

Yeah they are. Those rims take any car to another level imo.

hwo do you guys think a set of 18 inch bronze on rallye red would look?

I think they look fantastic, but imo they are overpriced. You could get the same, if not more for your money searching other aftermarket wheel avenues. I got 4 new 18's with performance tires mounted, balanced and shipped to my door for about $1,200.00 through Wheel Guys.

The HFP rims are really sweet, but I went today to check on the price at my dealership and it is gonna be almost $2000 with tires to get these. I don't know if I wanna get those or just find something else that I like that might be a little cheaper.

http://www.handa-accessories.com/civext06.html wheels for 17 in are 174 each so 698 for wheels then tires then tires obviously range but still i would say your looking at more like 1300 or 1400 with install so i would say go for it,
