HX Rims

I have rims available to me(2)14 inch and (2) 13 inch HX rims. I guess the 14's go on front the 13's on back and they are very lightweight so they are fast and strong? I am not really understanding this but will they clear the calipers on my kids 05 dx? Thanks

Re: HX Rims

The 14's will clear the front and the 13's will clear the rear.

Seems like it would look funny.

Re: HX Rims

Ya suppose the rims are meant to be smaller in the back for "At the Track". I will give the guy a call he is pretty knowledgable.

Re: HX Rims

Is there any advantage to having 14's and 13 inch rims for any reason especially by guys who mod there cars? I still have these wheels and when I bought them the guy told me he had like 15 callers. So I bought them thinking they had some value besides just being HX rims. Thanks

Re: HX Rims

Doesn't the HX use some light weight wheels? That may be a definite advantage.



I nabbed a set of hybrid wheels for my 12 just because they are very light.

Wonder if I should paint them body color? (Dyno Blue)

Re: HX Rims

13" and 14" are going to be lighter just because they are small. They will be lighter then comparable sized wheels because they are hybrid wheels. Less rotational mass, better MPG and better road manners.

Not sure how that would look.

Re: HX Rims

HX are 9 lbs a piece in a 14. Any particular reason you would have 13 and 14 on yur civic 2 each? Like I said the guy had a boat load of calls from Civic track guys and tuners.
