Buy some GSR rims and re-rap them, I'm sorry but my friend has a HX and I just think those rims are ugly.

Just my .02

How did you get 15" tires on a 14" rim?

I'll be getting rid of the HX rims when I can afford new ones, but right now I can't. I might just wait until I can do springs, tires and rims all at once, but I'll probably do springs and tires soon and replace rims later on.

I'm not sure you'll want them...I managed to curb one of them a couple days ago..:doh:

It didn't bend the rim or anything, but it marked it up pretty good on the lip...I was going to park on the side of the street where there was a pretty good buildup of dead (and wet) leaves. Well, I wasn't really expecting to slide as much as I did when I hit my brakes, and bounced right off the curb with my front passenger side rim.

Stock size was 185/65x14" so you could go with 195/60x14" (more approrpiate size to keep speedo and odometer accurate) or 195/55x14".

It'd probably be best if you just got your new set of wheels and tires simultaneously rather than buying tires for the HX's and then buying another set of wheels and tires later on.

Unless you really need tires on the car now... It's best if you wait. :thumbup:
