Same dealer as Mine Dave - Did they mention the poor finish on the wheel backs that you CAN / WILL see when you give your wheels a proper clean and the radius of the spokes on the wheels aT the back is not painted....Saw yours in the showroom along with the red one and yous are slightly better than mine but still very poor finish?......
I can see the missing paint in pic 3 - give the wheel a wipe at the back and you will plainly see it, Take the wheel off and it looks like the wheels used to be silver and have been painted black, However the backs look as if they have been blown over only or have been painted using the overspray from painting the front of the wheel....

I see what some people have mentioned about the alloys, it seems the wheel quality is hit and miss with Hondas.
I bought these original Honda upgrade alloys a year ago.
Diamond cut faces and anthracite windows worried me a bit when I stumped up the cash for them.
But the quality was good and they have paint where they should have paint - no missing bits.
Pics below are after 11 months and 11k miles, light wipe and fitted back on
These are Speedline by the way - do the new alloys have a manufacturer name on them?

I like the Alloys you get with the EP3. Mine are gloss black. Got a fifth Alloy I need to get painted and a tyre on it.
So for something random in the usual STR way......... With new Star Wars film coming out I'd rather have an X-Wing Fighter Type-R

Maybe the black 18" from civic sport would fit?

Is that confirmed with 18" wheels?
I was under the impression that you can't clear the caliper with an 18.
Please share this right spec on the 18". It will give me more options for winters. :smt023

Wrong pcd, sport is 5x114.3
Ive been toold that Honda gonna release a winter wheel package and its gonna be 18"
with the right spec i mean right pcd, offset near 60 and clear M14 studs... Its not gonna be easy to find some aftermarket wheels that do...
Im gonna go with the OEM 19" on the winter and buy some custom wheels for the summer/track like HRE, ADV.1, BC Forged or somthing like those.

Stop fannying around and get a set of RAYS ordered.

I would but don't want to be in Karl's situation. The FK2 alloys have a pretty specific spoke design to clear the caliper plus if I play around with the offset too much it could end up with scrubbing on the arches...
