What are the exact specs of the wheel? And what are the specs of your tires? I like the way it fills in the empty space.

The roads in Texas were safer back when it was legal to drink and drive than it is now... I can't believe that the cities in the Metroplex are conducting a study to find out why there has been an increase in pedestrians being hit when crossing the street... Even out here on rural roads drivers with cell phones are hazardous..

Actually these wheels came off the 03 performance edition civic I think.. not exactly si. if you google hfp wheels they will pop up. I love the way they look buy they are just to heavy for the stock motor. I'm running 195/50 on the wheels and I don't encounter any rubbing. I'll post pictures this weekend when my car gets out of the shop. I miss it. I hate driving my dodge avenger rental..

Sucks to see the damage from an idiot driver, but the wheels look good

My mpg has dropped...and since the wheels I put on my bike rack also so i'm sure my mpg isn't awesome like before. I haven't tested a true full tank yet to see my average but when I do I will post up the damage. But I love the way the wheels look. My car is dropped 2 inches front and 1.8 inches in back with the eibach sportline.. I also just got a valve adjustment that was much needed. It feels much stronger and back to normal. When I get home Sunday I'll take pictures of the car and post them up. I have fallen back in love with my fit once again.
