I like the Honda fit sport rims personally, but they'll be pretty expensive. The Si rims would be much more affordable.

Re: which factory wheels???

the si are pretty common but decent around 16 lbs (not too heavy, but not lite either). i like the 2000 insight rims 12 lbs each, aerodynamic, and keeps brake dust off the car body.

Re: which factory wheels???

Oh god steve, what did you just make me look at
:X

Btw, I would just go with the Fit rims, they look nice
But if you were wondering how EM1 rims looks on a white car, look at mine, even though yours is 4 dr, it should be similar

Re: which factory wheels???

Most people fantasize about a $2000 set of volk, sprint hart, work, bbs wheels or something along those lines; Steve wants to spend $2000 on a set of OEM wheels off a 10 year old hybrid. I get that they're aerodynamic, but they're just sooooo ugly..

Those are nice, but too flashy for me,
to each his own tho, whatever you get, as long as you like it, then anything's fair game

Re: which factory wheels???

factory rims are balanced to the civic hub so i would stick with honda and not aftermarket. much less problems.

They're balanced to the civic hub, but if you put on rims from a fit or si then they wouldn't be balanced properly for the hub on our cars since the hubs aren't the same, am I wrong?

Re: which factory wheels???

i think honda rims are all the same pretty much. i wouldnt put accord rims on my car even if the bolt pattern was the same, but i dont think it would be a problem and people have done it before.
