Yes, the Special Edition comes with 16" 5 spoke Alloys. I picked up some 04 steels with OEM caps for $140 to my door on EBAY. Blizzaks are next. I'm thinking TIRERACK.com, I have a few month before the snow flies.
I know Alpine worked with 6th gen (maybe even without convertor?) but
7th Gen might be different. Given the way Honda integrated the heat controls with the radio, I think I'll stick with the OEM radio. Other options are to put another radio below, can't imagine that. And factory changer $$$$$ does not do MP3. The Honda addon MP3 was not ideal either.
Thanks for the flameless reply, I have searched the board for much of this info over the last few weeks.
So far the car is great, almost went Toyota Solara Converible, but the lack of top made it "wiggle" and flex too much. The Hondas tend to be more Drivers cars than the Yotas
