Welcome! I have these wheels too. Love them. But I have been considering buying HX wheels too, to experiment. I might buy yours if you don't want them. Or you might try what I'm thinking. The HX wheels are only modestly heavier, they're just 14" versions of the 13" VXs. But they are taller and there are better LRR tire choices for them. So I am playing around with the idea of the taller wheels up front with good, taller-than-stock LRR tires on them. PM me if you'd like to sell, or just take the idea if you'd like to experiment (let me know how it goes).

Welcome!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
