They're part of the Civic coupe factory performance package. Not for sale individually outside of the kit. There's a few members on here (about 5 - myself included) that have them. ;)

Base RSX:

clearly HFP is the 16" 4lug version of the type-r's and nothing like the Base RSX wheels.:mrolleyes:



Also my friend is selling some white EP3 Type-R wheels and some silver DC5 Type-R wheels, kinda scuffed up though cus they're used.

If you like the looks of the CTR wheels there is an alternative. The Canadian Acura CSX-S comes with 17" wheels that looks extremely similar to those on the CTR. Also I found an oem wheel reseller, finishlinewheels.com, that will sell them for aroun 750 shipped.

I'm pretty positive those are the same wheels as CTRs just with acura centercaps and maybe a different shade of paint.

Anyone care to chime in?

They only come on the CSX Type S and it was only around for a few years and there wasn't many of them made/sold so used sets are very hard to come by.

Ok, so I bit the bullet and ordered a set of these from Finish Line.

I'm certain they are exact dimensions as CTR, unknowns are color and quality of refinish from the vendor. I'll post again when they show. If it works out, this will be a cheaper alternative while supplies last.

I emailed them asking for a pic or p/n but only got a generic response. They have 30 day return, only risking return freight. From Acura Canada only 2 wheels available for the CSX, these have to be it.

Once you get these rims mounted on your car, could you find someone who has the CTR rims and compare them side-by-side? I wonder how close they are, or if they are 100% identical. I like the looks of them.

In the meantime people are working in filthy sweatshops so I can have cheap clothes and car parts and I am sitting here drinking a diet Red Bull worrying about what kind of rims are cool. Wow. What a planet. :sad:

its MUCH cheaper for 02/03 owners when you figure in the 5 lug conversion.

Finish Line canceled my order -- no stock. Guess that explains why they don't have a pic in their online catalog.

Cheapest bet to get a set would be craigslist, ebay or classifieds....I was able to get a gunmetal set for $850 with tires. Pricey still, but way less than those shops are charging..
