The GT-P is available in many fitments, one of which is a 4 X 100 pattern to fit our Honda Civics, my friend.

Or if you're cheap like me you can get some R1 Racing GT-R rims which are replicas of the GT-P's....

I can't see spending upwards of $2000 just on rims - that's rediculous unless you are going purely for show.....

Mine cost about $600 for all four.

Now why is it you need to spend $2K on forged 2 piece wheels so your car can sit still? Sounds to me like that would be reason enough to get the cheap ones. I think I'd opt for forged if I was actually going to beat on them.

Well - I suppose that if you are really into racing or seriously mad over your car than yea, $2k is fine to drop for your ride. But this is only a civic, which means (at least to me) that it would be a waste of money if you like the look. That's why there are knock offs - most people just can't afford (or really don't want to) pay through the nose for rims.

Anyhow, I love my rims, I'm glad I paid what I paid, plus if they ever get jacked I wont be as pissed off as if I had spent the 2k on them.

I'm not sure of the weight - they weigh less than the stock rims, that's for sure. Next time I put my steelies on (mid oct) to drive back to FL I'll see if I can weigh one with my yoko ES100's on.

My cost including shipping on them was around $675 if I remember correctly. It took me a while to find a cheap place for them, since most places wanted upwards of $200 per rim or more. There were a few places on the net I think - just go to google and search for R1 GT-P. You'll have to wade through a bunch of crap tho.

Otherwise, just call up hiper and see where the nearest distributor is.....
