SI rims or HX rims ??? Opinions needed.

[EK|B]

If you want style than get the Si's. If you want fuel economy without style, keep the HX's.

HX's weigh~12lbs
Si's weigh~18lbs

I voted for Si's because they are nice looking.

Why not trade for some 7th gen hx rims?

I would love to have got HX rims over the SI, but you cant have s**t for brakes...

What does that mean? Ugly calipers?

brembo blanks with hawk hps pads.....good enough right there.

The HX's don't fit over EX/Si brake calipers.

oh I get it, like you have to have mediocre brakes in order to use the HX rims. So based on this response it sounds like the EX and SI have beefier brakes. Damn I should have at least gotten an EX. I really wanted a sunroof and there seems to be more little pros. I love having the "flagship" car as opposed to the entry one. I used to have an LS Legend and that was one of the best and it had everything. People were jealous

well, I mean they do, but you have to grind the calipers down. I was talking about upgrades, such as CTR / ITR calipers in which they BARELY fit even my SIs

i use to like si rims, but now they just look tired, and bulky to me, hx rims are sweet and a lot cheaper than overhyped si rims


and lighter too!

 

[AutoFanatik]

6 i think....maybe 6.5

 

[c_diddy]

hx. i've never seen why people like the si's so much....they're alright.....

 

[Hecz]

I like the fact that HX are wider (helps with gas mileage? ). I'm sure that this has been covered 100,000 times on here, but all black? or all black with polished lip? Considering the fact that my coupe is black with dark tint, black might look good

Hxs are wider?

Sis are 15"X6.5"

 

[Zach-R]

14" by what????

the hx wheels are 14x5.5 where as steelies are 14x5. i have hx wheels on my ex and i like them looks really good lowered. but i would trade them in for a set of si's in a heart beat.

thats an easy fix....spacers or grind down your caliper.

yeah; i hate SI rims they suck; I'm tryin to dump 20's on my SI. Need lots a bling . Sell your HX's and go to a local rim shop to upgrade ASAP

 

[ryanM]

[97GreenEX]

I want HX's...They look better and not as plain as Si's to me.A little more JDM hehe, Oh and hit me up if you're near Chicago with a good set...
