Hx wheels or 14" hybrid wheels?

[Hondamate]

Howdy, I bought an hx with some ugly wheels on it. What you you all recommend the hx wheels or the hybrid wheels. They both weight the sAme(11 pounds), but I think the hybrid wheels maybe more aerodynamic.

I'd also go with the Insight or Civic hybrid rims. RE92's on the Insight rims are probably the best overall bet, as UltArc mentioned.

Having a hard time locating a set if insight or hybrid wheels. Insight tire siZe is 165/65r14 hybrid 185/70r14. Hybrid is like 2 inches taller. I drive mostly high way would recommend going with the wider tall or stick with the smaller shorter tire if the insight?

I was able to get a set of 175/70R14 for my CRX. Maybe take a look at that size

I think I will. So, you do recommend larger siZe tire then for the hi way.

Yeah, the insight and hybrid wheels where both about $1200. The hx are only $600 for new ones. Have to think about it. Might have to use some pizza dishes, lol.

I would go for the smooth wheel covers unless you need tires anyway.

Is the child safety lock engaged on your passenger rear door?
