Anyone want to sell their factory alloy LX wheels to me?

 

Reply to PM: I have no idea about online Canadian dealers that ship to the USA.

Just so you know... The LX wheels are 15X5½" and have 175/65R15 tire size on them.

 

you mean you like that hideous piece of metal that looks like a pie?! i'll take the DX (base) hubcaps anyday!

 

I would like to buy a used set as well. Has to be the ultimate in a MPG wheel!
Light and aerodynamic (no wasted energy pushing wheel spokes through the air)

Actually I am seeing this type of wheel a a future trend.
Have you noticed the recent photos of Honda's latest HFP Civic?

Aren't they just Civic Hybrid rims? But I agree, they are ugly.

And on ebay:

Doh! Civics are 4 lug. Wrong bolt pattern. Duh!

 

How much are you looking to spend? I could be willing to part with mine....

 

Disk wheels for bikes have been around a long time:

For a reason.

Prius owners are making their own aerodynamic hubcaps:

Renault did something similar back in the 80's:

And if you still need that openwork design, check these out, with a clear plastic cover over the majority of the wheel (I wonder if that would keep the wheels extra clean, I'd buy it for that, LOL):

For light oem honda wheels, if they FIT, go with the 96-00 HX rims.

Maybe the first gen civic hybrid.

Both are 14's so they may not work. I use the second ones for my auto cross tires on my 92 and 95 Integras.
