Question HFP Wheels on Civic Coupe

I have an LX Coupe in Atomic Blue and want to replace the steel wheels with HFP Wheels. Does anyone have a coupe with the HFP Wheels (doesn't matter what color) that they could post up so i can see what they look like before i buy them. It's always nice to look at real-world pics instead of honda's pics. Thanks!

I have been waiting for weeks to get 18" HFPs for my Civic. I got the money handy, but haven't jumped the gun yet since I am waiting for a pic/confirmation that the 18" will fit on a non-Si.

Everyone I talk to though, says they simply won't work/won't sell them to me. I got a Civ LX Coupe.

did you find out if the rims fit your car... i recently got a 09 civic coupe dx-g and apparently none of the hfp rims "fit" my car ... have you heard differently?

There's already a dedicated HFP thread where people--including myself--have put up numerous pictures.

Sometimes I think people can be a bit touchy when they start yelling about "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION" and stuff. Especially if it's a really obscure topic or uncommon question... But shucks OP, it'll take you about three seconds to find pics if you look.
