Well I'm in love with the Volk CE28N's, but of course they're way out of my price range...

I'm currently rockin the Gunmetal HFP's, but am now thinkin bout sellin those and gettin these CE28N wannbes (Maxxim Deadlines)?

i've found em for like 123 per rim online, which is quite cheap, so i don't know if i should... i don't want them bending or breaking on me =( They're a branch of Konigs, which are cheap as well, but are pretty well known...

what do you guys think?

1. The HFP's look way better than the other rims that you want.
2. Knockoffs FTL

I usually don't like those hfp on the ep but your car just gave me a whole new look to it when I saw it. I say keep the hfp

I like the other wheel better, personally i never liked any of the HFP stuff for the EP except for the spoiler.

If you like I say get it. What can go wrong, your car is already the sex I'm sure it will look nice with either rims

I would say ditch the HFP and go with the other rims. If you don't like them you could always sell them and buy a different set.:mbiggrin:

I like the way the HFP's look on your car, but I think the Maxxim's would look better.

Since you have the full HFP lip kit, I would recommend keeping the wheels to match.

HFP FTW... plus the resale value on your car is higher since youre rocking orginal Honda equipment. I say keep the HFPs and save up and get another set of wheels that way you can switch them out if you want.

I don't know if this is necessarily true... I know that when dealers put cars up for sale, they always use aftermarket rims as a selling point.

I love the HFP wheels. Unless you plan on getting real CE's, then id say stick with HFP's, lol

Stick with the HFP's for durability if nothing else. Save up for what you really want. By the time you have enough money saved, you'll want something different. If you're lucky, they'll be cheaper!

HFP wheels are rare. keep them.

600 for the maxxims? save up instead.

keep saving for the real deal.

actually they put aftermarket wheels as a selling point because they want to get rid of the car lol I know a few guys that run dealerships and they'd rather have a car that is factory orginal then with any aftermarket parts. People are more willing to buy a car if they know it hasnt been messed with. But since HFP is a factory upgrade it'll up the resale value of the car.

I'd keep the HFPs, those ce28n knock offs look cheap IMO.

I'd skip on the Maxxim's and keep the HFPs.

I've always like the Ce28N so I vote for those. But knock offs are questionable. I'm not familiar with the knock off you want to buy but why not save some money and buy the real deal?

HFP's are better unless you were to compare them next to some Works, then the Works would win hands down!!

I say keep'em...or if you insist on buying some, mine is similar to yours...But with "Works"..... So now you have an idea of what these will look like...IMO, i would use the money on performance, than get the bling... :mwink:

not really a fan of the extra holes (besides the lug holes), but other than that those rims are alrite. the gold on red might be a bitt too attention getting tho. n i mean the bad type of attention
