Same factory honda ones.

 

anyone? i know people have these.....

 

Are the HFP Wheels 7" width?

Thanks

 

mine will be here in a few days,,will look for you

 

a call to tirerack answered my question. they are 7 inches... thank you though! Had to make sure I ordered the right tire size.

 

no one?????

 

i was hoping for pics as well.......nhbp lowered, with hfp rims...

 

nice job on the wheels!!! the "stock" stockers don't look so good now that there r so many on the road.... the paint job really hardens the lines, makes the car look tough...i might have saved some dough if i had thought of painting mine!

 

Thanks man! You can still do it for winter time when you are saving your custom wheels. If you still have them. No reason not to look good even in snow! LOL!
I got HFP wheel centercaps and painted the "H" in red to match. I am just trying to get a hold of small piece of real carbon fiber sheet with UV coating to put over the cap before I re-apply the red "H" over them. Once I get it all done I will update my post for "OEM wheel in black w/red rim edge".
I am tempted to get HFP wheels and "fix" them up as well, but I just can't justify the expense even at $106/ea plus tires.

 

you know, i do use my stocks for winter...snow sucks unless it is on a mountainl!! gotta ask, what brand/type of paint did you use?

thanks

 

I used DupliColor wheel paint. I wonted saten finish, so I did not shoot them with clear coat. For winter application I would recomend you clear coat them couple of coats. Everything you need to know is in this tread:

BTW, I finished my center caps with carbon fiber and raised honda logo in red. It got too dark, so I will shoot some pics in the morning and update my tread.
If you do your wheels post some pics will you? I am curious to see them in different paterns and colors.

 

Just recieved my HFP 16's and I must say I'm very happy with them. For only 106 bucks the wheels are of very high quality and the finish was flawless. Gonna look good on the MR/MT,,when it shows up next week!!!It's still on the boat right now AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hello all I have a stock base fit and was wanting to upgrade to the 16" rims. I've seen it is recommended to use 205/45/16 tires but I already have a set of 205/40/16 tires. If I use the slightly smaller tires will that mess up the ride or handling?

Thanks Larry

 

Your speedometer will read 3.5% too fast eg. at 60mph you will actually be @ 57.9mph. You also incrementally add kilometers to your car at a faster rate eg. OEM 867 wheel revolutions/mile compared to 898 rev/mile due to the smaller sidewall.

Other than that...your ride will not be messed up just a very miniscule and negligible harsher or rougher ride due to the lower side wall, but not much since 40series and 45series are pretty close.

Tire size calculator

 

indeed,i used to have 16 inch wheels on my fit with a kumho exta tires 205/40/16 set up no problem at all,

 

Thanks for your replys. I decided against the rims even though they look real nice I primarily want to keep good gas mileage.

 

I just ran the first tank of gas the dealer put in it and I'm running the 16's. Got 34.7 mpg

 

Don't know about the speedo issue but-- a 15in radius gives you a circ of 707in--91in greater than the 14in radius tire. A 16in tire has a circ of 804in--so go figure.

 

would like to know where you purchased HFPs?

 

not negligible to a cop's radar/laser!!!!
that 1 kph/mph (could put u in a higher penalty bracket) could cost u thousands in the long run (insurance)
