I was considering getting these instead of the Fit HFP wheels, but I don't think it would flow as well. It would just make the Fit look like an older Honda.

Excuse the crappy chop (my photoshop skills suck). I found the Si pictures after I started the chop. Somebody want to crop out the wheels from the Si and put it over the Fit?

good luck finding them for a decent price.


there is a another hfp wheel for the ep3 called the r5 that is made in a scaled down 16 inch version that has a 4 lug pattern. it costs the same as this wheel.

its damn expensive for a regular weight wheel with no tires. i love the way they look though!

I've thought about doing this as well, but the sets I've seen have never been cheap.

Those are actually Ep3 Type-R wheels.

Someone made a thread about ordering the HFP's a while back. He never post pics of them on his Fit. I actually think the wheels are pretty nice. HFP wheels are normally pretty ugly too.

i dont mean that they are bbs or volk expensive, just expensive for what they are. both those wheels at h and a are 168.00 EACH. muliply that by 4 and add some shipping charges and you now have a set of relatively heavy (although well made) oem wheels for 700 bucks, WITHOUT a set of tires to go with em. compared to what rota or konig can offer you (and at a lighter weight) it simply is not the most weight or cost effective route.

don't get me wrong, i love both those wheels, and i think they would look great, but if i were to buy them, it would be mostly for looks, and i would not try arguing with people that they were cheap.

honda oem rims dont shatter or break when u go over a pothole. they're quality made. i believe they're manufactured by enkei.

regardless. when it comes to rims, you get what you pay for: in terms of durability, finish, etc..

the HFP wheels are actually 02-03 EP3 HFP wheels, not 04-05. 04+ EP3s were 5-lug and their HFP wheels were 5 spokes.

oops i think i meant RSX rims thanks for the correction

but i guess they're not even rsx rims, they're ep3 type r rims

i don't kno anymore these rims...i mean i can buy some konigs off jlbmotorsports for less than $550 shipped and just paint the red outline myself

so, i kno for a fact that this fit is a member on ff.net but i don't kno his exact name but i really want those rims, does anyone kno his screen name??

have you consistently had konigs and rotas 'shatter' on you when you have driven over all the pot holes over in cali?


again man, take this with a grain of salt, I LIKE OEM HONDA WHEELS. just don't say they are cheap. they aren't.

i have never had aftermarket rims in my life, but i've heard some things and pictures about rotas being poor quality

not so much about konigs though but i bet there's stories out there

shatter over potholes?? dammmnnnn thats intense

i just visited my local tuner shop and i could get the buddy club spf challenge white w/ red outline for $650 shipped so that looks promising, doe anyone hav experience w/ buddy clubs??

Theyre Work Emotions as said above. White Emotions special order from Japan. He wanted 4 months I believe for those. Dare I call Emotions rare..... white ones maybe but only because no one wants to wait.
