Rim Shopping Please

Tennisjon2002 · 03-09-2006, 08:41 PM

I am looking at possibly getting some new rims for my Si. I think I want to keep it clean and simple and I think I want to keep it 17". I am either getting a blue or black Si (not sure yet). I am thinking of getting the HFP rims on ebay for about $750, maybe less. Any other ideas of any rims that are cheaper? I am not looking to spend much if I get rims
Thanks

there are so many wheels to choose from. you have to break it down - go to www.tirerack.com and you can see the wheels they offer on your car.

I am thinkin I want a gunmetalish color. I like the HFP wheels and I am looking for a cheaper alternative w/o the Honda name. What do you think of the HFP rims for the 06 civic?

I really like the HFP rims.

Good luck with the purchase.

How much smoother will the ride be with 17's than 18's. I am not going to drop my car, so I am not sure if I want to go with the 18's.

The HFP's do come in 17", so you could get those for the look and still keep the ride as smooth as it is now.
