I put a deposit on a storm silver sport AT Fit last week and I am trying to figure out what options I want to throw on it when it arrives next week. I am thinking iPod link, all-weather mats and 16" HFP wheels. I don't have loads of money right now so I want everything to be in the payments. What are everyones thoughts on the bronzish wheels on a silver car. And does anyone else have suggestions on stuff for it.

 

its hard to tell, but the 15 inch stockers are pretty chill...i am having the same problem cause i am getting the blaze orange and i like the HFP rims but are they only coming in bronze? If there was only a way to see how it would look cause it might not be that bad.

 

I think the HFP Wheels look great. I can not wait to see them in person

 

Dude! I'll be getting the silver with the HFP bronz-ish wheels too..., it will look sick and JDM-ish. I plan to drop some H&R springs on mine too for that mean look also.

 

I thought you will go with Coilovers.

 

I was wondering what kind of a deal to work with the dealer, I was thinking if I bought the wheels and the floor mats maybe they would throw in the ipod kit. And do they take the 15"s for credit if I get the 16's, whats the price of the 16's I really want them now.

 

the 17 inch wheel upgrade for the civic is $1096.00 from what my dealer told me so maybe the HFP wheels for the fit cant be more (I HOPE),but what i am going to guess is that they probably will be less than that...like i said I HOPE... nevertheless i want them to they are fresh

 

Canadian pricing, CAD:
Civic 16 inch 1336
Civic 17 inch 1487
Fit 16 inch 1336

Hope this helps

 

I saw the 16's in person at the NA show - believe me you will want them once you see them !

 

Yeah, I think the 15's make it look like a matchbox car.

 

On second thought, I will stick to the evil I know and love and it is a balance all year round I can live with, it's economical, functional. l swear by the H&R Company. For my occasional sprited driving and time attacks this is my best option.

 

what kind of rubber are they putting on the 16" wheels? I heard bridgestone potenza's?

 

the all season Bridgestone tourenza tires on the 15" rate poorly. Hope they put some good tires on the 16"

 

Bridgestone Potenzas RE750s are the recommended tires for Canuck HFPs.

The online build and price gives us two choices of the Bridgestone Potenza RE750's or the Dunlops Sp Sport 9000. Now I've priced those tires through a reputable on-line canadian distributor equivalent to the american tirerack but ours in tiretrends.com...,and goddamn. I want to choose my own brand not recommended based on my driving, performance desires and BUDGET.

 

I think the 16's would look best on the blue and the orange... cuz they just rock!! ... ps that's also what I want ... so yes I am prejudice to those colors

 

I went to the dealer today, he said that the dealership will not give me credit for the 15's that come with it. I will not pay full dealer price for the 16's. He did not have prices for any accessories even though he said they are all sitting in the parts department. I went to the local tuner shop and found someone who would be interested in my wheels that are coming with the sport and then I am going to have them order me some mugen knock-offs.

 

tell me the tires are included with the price of the wheels? If not, ya, you could definitly find better and cheaper tires else were.

 

both sport and basic at my dealer in Mass had them . I was hoping for Bridgestones.

 

That's the problem..., they basically tell you to choose which one's they'll install for you. When you do the price and build @ honda.ca the option of rims further includes notice of this. That's what's pissing me off. I plan to slug my own choice of tire, go back to the shop when my car comes in and hand the mechanic the tires to mount on. They'll probably charge me a mounting fee too.
