are they all interchangeble?

i have the skinny 5 spoke si rims like all 95+ alloys, and i think the civic hx's are completly interchangeble, but what about the jdm type-r wheels that the hx's take their look from? they are 15" right... so im gonna need diffrent tires, but what about the weight compared to the hx's?

civic hx (14" like the sol, right?)



and the jdm type-r

going to need new suspension setup for the hype-r's, they are 4x114.3 lug pattern whilst sols are 4x100

not sure on the weights

bummer about the diffrences... i found the weights, the 14" hx's are 11.75lbs and the 15" type-r's are 12.3lbs

yeah ive seen those type r's before. you need to swap in new hub assembly

there is a killer deal on ebay for some of the type-r's, but i dont think they will end up being worth it in the end... its just gonna be eaiser for me to get some hx's...

if i can ever find some

grab a set of rims from a miata, i see them all over the place

Ewww, Miata rims????? They look okay on a Miata, but then you'll have Miata wheels on a Honda. I saw a hatch the other day with SE-R wheels. Looks good on a Nissan, but not Honda. Stick to Honda.

If you're looking for lightweight, get the 96 GSR wheels. They are the lightest of the GSR wheels. I had them and I miss them.

Get the HX wheels...that look badass on the Sol. Jon (WrongWD) used to have them on his.

Stay with the HX wheels!! They're so nice and look so good, not to mention how light weight they are. The HX Civic was the economical one. Everyone I know in Tampa would love to get a set of those. If you dont want them, you could easily sell them off.

I'd take them but Im saving for a set of SSR Competitions in 16 inch.

ive been wanting the HX's ever since i saw them on Jon's car. but they are impossible to get my hands on! i knew they came from the JDM type-r's so just for kicks last night when i was friutlessly searching for the HX's i found these :shocked:

and wished the JDM's would work. next time i see a HX around town im just gonna ask right there to buy them off their car, and trade wheels with them
