they're the Honda FP wheels and they're very nice. Just so rare to find for sale at a dealer seperate from the performance package.

I know Greg was trying to get the wheels w/o the FP stuff. Maybe he's finally found a source.

Check Honda of Lisle, in Lisle, IL .

The salesman there told me that he could get just the wheels for me, but they are expensive

looks like alot of money.

i have talked to a couple dealers in the area. some said that they don't make them (--which is bs), others said that they don't carry them "yet". i have not got in touch with the lisle location yet. i have spoke to member on the boards who said he can look into them for me since he has a sponsorship with his dealer for his car. i don't want to stress him or fully rely on him though, cause i know it would be a shitload on his back to take care of.

lastly, i am hoping these wheels are light. honda calling the package factory performance, i pray they're going to let form follow funtion. if they're not considerably light enough, i'll forget about them. anyone know the weight of them? i have looked around. maybe i should ask the dealers that too huh? alright, i'm done babbling.

Trust me the are not light, they are heavy. The felt really heavy when I was getting my car serviced at HOL and they had them out on display, just the rims, no tires. Man they were friggin heavy. But there could have been somthing done to make them heavier, i hope there was otherwise my steels would be better

I'd have a hard time paying $250 a wheel for OEM wheels....but they are still badass, does anyone know exactly how much they weight? 25lbs? 30lbs?
