This is ironic--the last person to discuss Insight wheels on the ecomodder forum gave up and bought Honda Fit alloys.
Check redpepperracing.com it's nothing but 1st gen CR-X's, and people give those wheels away, because they're ugly as sh!t. Not to mention heavy, compared to the wheels most of us would rather have, and even for the better looking Honda wheels, they're the same weight, or close to it. (Hammers and Fat Fives are 15-16#, and they're 15" rims.... better performance sizes.)
