Not sure if these have been shown here before but they look pretty damn close to the CTR wheels. They are Velox Pro-Gear Rev-7 's available in 17x7.5 and 18x7.5. http://www.veloxperformance.com/Images_U/11132002105613PM7S300.jpg

the hub is really different on the velox (not flush). but they are only 11.5 lbs for the 17"... how heavy are the ace spades...

Yup, there called factory performance wheels offered as an upgrade on the regular civics I believe. Only available in 16's, and around $200 per. Check the members ride section for pics, someone got them a couple weeks ago.

Yes, the overall appearance of the Honda 16" FP wheels is just like the CTR's but I was going for the number and arrangement of the spokes. The Pro-Gears are a split 7 spoke design just like the CTR where the FP's are a split 6 spoke. Minor yes, but still different. :angel:

the FP wheels are 16" x 6.5" 4 lug, and otherwise identical to the CTR wheels.

6.5 in....so what would be the widest tire you could put on them? And do you know how much they weigh a piece? I honestly think that the type R rims are the best looking rims on this car...just like the side skirts. Damn I want those rims....

A 6.5" width can hold up to a 225 section tire. So an aggressive size tire for these rims that would work with our EP's is

225/45/16

:p Now thats aggressive!!
