Honda OEM wheel covers

[RPM]

At least in Europe, this is how new Civics arrive at the dealership:



Found it interesting and wanted to share.

OMGosh git me some! I'll pay shipping from across the pond!

Oh wow ! I want some too.
( Don't you know they just toss them in the trash ! )

They even make it look as if you are ridin' on some dubs ( you know - the huge overly heavy wheels with teeny tires. )

Nice. I assume they just cover the alloys to protect them in shipment.
Do US dealers use them? I am planing on buying a fit in the next month or so. I will have to ask about them.

aww! i saw a truck full of these cars last week and wanted to take a pic!
some cars had none, and others had only a few. i think it's already a popular steal-item!

"Don't you know they just toss them in the trash!"

Close ... they more than likely recycle them. I'd guess they are #2 plastic (HDPE).

Yes, I'd love a set ... spray paint them satin black ... or maybe the body color.

[SVOboy]

Mmm, this seems like a sweet revelation for ecomodders around the world...

Plus: what honda is that in the picture? I want one, it looks great.

[Bror Jace]

SVOBoy, I think that's the European Civic ... as I've seen on TopGear. I'm not sure how different it is with the ones we get here in North America ... definitely looks swoopier.

[SVOboy]

The rear end looks totally different. Crazy.

I want a set too. I definitely hope they put it on the cars being shipped to NA. I'll have to take a walk to my nearest honda dealer.
