Update On FP wheels

[SouthHonda]

Hello everyone. I have been out sick and not even felt like checkin my email. Stomach viruses are a beyatch. Gotta stop there, too graphic to continue.

I am working through my email and my pms getting responses to everyone.


Feel free to call me at South Honda 770 968 1500 ask for Scott in parts.

That is all for now.

Will update with pricing tomorrow

Scott

[CleanBlackSi02]

Any info on payment options?

[SouthHonda]

I am a dealership so I have all payment options open for you guys.

Visa, MC, AmEx, Discover, Mom's..... Everything

Cash, Check (10 Day processing wait), Money Order.

I have to check on COD, Dont think that will be an option. Sorry.

Scott

[taikahn]

PRICES?!

[IceD out N CALI]

cool, glad you're still alive. i'll check tommorow for the pricing update:)

[fyzm7357]

Prices, Prices, Prices!!!!!!!!!! Would love to have those wheels on my EP....

[CleanBlackSi02]

So can we order a set yet? Can I put a deposit to reserve a set before they come in?

[fASTBACK]

Yeah... we need prices!!!!

[ep88]

FP wheels....uhmmmmmmmm...Pricepricepriceprice??????? ??:o

[SouthHonda]

I am posting the info here for everyone. Should be okay since I am not competing directly with any other vendor.

Pricing on the wheels is as follows.
16x7 4 lug made by Enkei Honda Civic FP Wheels

Honda List Cost: $238.00 each
South Honda Suggested Retail: $225.00
EpHatch Special Pricing of $200.00 each $800 per set. Shipping is included
in the price

If we get more people invovled and I can score more sets of wheels then I
may be able to drop the price 10% or so.

Tires I can do on an individual basis.
205/50/16 would be the ideal size. Email me or call me(Not PM) for Quotes on tires. Dunlop, Falken, Toyo, Pirelli, and Goodyear is what I can the best deals on but I can get pretty much anything.

[Will2K2]

yes exactly. they are 1 inch smaller look like type r wheels but have one less spoke 6 instead of 7(if i'm not mistaken):)

[cease]

g-rancing wheels makes a wheel that looks exactly the same as the "FP 16, 4 lugers". you can either get them in a 17 or 18 size. but i think its a heavy wheel. price for 18's with ires and lugs is 1425.60. i think thats to much for some giovanna wheels":mad:

ill look for a picture and post it ;)

[IceD out N CALI]

yeah, the Ace Spade wheels are the closest match that i have seen to the CTR wheels. Not exact, but pretty close:)

[CleanBlackSi02]

I'm still interested in the weight...

[Sultan of Solo]

Where are these wheels from? Are the Honda Equipment? Are they available in white?

[SouthHonda]

South Honda is ready to start taking orders as of right now.
I have tracked down 10 sets so far and will find more if necessary.

Package includes:

4 Honda FP wheels by Enkei in Deep SIlver finish.
4 Dunlop FM901 205/50/16 Tires
Mounted, Balanced, and shipped

Total $1199.00
$800 for wheels only.
Call me direct @ 770-968-1500 ext 3026
ask for Scott

They are only available in silver.

I can get them shipped out next week for everyone that places their order with me today. Prepayment ensures you one of the first sets.

I will be at work today till 7pm est and tomorrow from 9am-4pm.

I have already sold one set to a lucky EPHatch memeber.

CleanBlack I will weigh them Tues or Wed when I get one here.

[BSEVEER]

Excuse me if this is a dumb question but what is "FP" ?

[gpt]

Factory Performance - they are being offered on a US EX model (Canadian Si model)

[civic hatch boi]

wow i guess alot of people are willing to pay a rip-off price for rims just cuz they're honda oem. i love these wheels too, but for $200/ea, so much better out there.

[IceD out N CALI]

i might get them in the future, is on the pricey side, but they do look nice

[Silvershadow]

These Wheels l@@k just like the:p CTR's except 1" shorter and 1 less lug.It should weight less than the CTR's(2o.2 lbs) and the Si(R)'s(19.4 lbs).:p :p

[toe knee]

How long will you be having this deal? I need about another week or two? How many sets do you have left?

Thanks
Tony

[Will2K2]

weight?

[carbonSI]

mmhmmm! finally see the "real FP's" for sale, yea the ace spades look like it, but with that one less spoke, it looks off... anyways, im definatley in for a set, depending on how many, and for how long you have this for.... -mike

[IceD out N CALI]

wonder if anyone has ordered a set yet

[napapacoda]

Did anyone order a set yet or whats the deal? Wondering about an update on selling the wheels.

[Silvershadow]

Wheel deal is off like the CF spoiler.:'(

what he said.

[IchBinEinSiR]

Scott,

Can you ship them north to Canada? I'm near Ottawa, Ontario, and am interested in these wheels. Let me know of any other costs, if any (hopefully not) involved in getting them to me.

Thanks,

Bill

[IchBinEinSiR]

Hey, if $290 (Can) per wheel is a rip off, where does everyone else get there wheels? I'm here in Canada and a decent set of rims is at LEAST $290 if not more a piece! I don't see why I wouldn't spend the same money for a factory rim that will have the proper offset and "stock" look. Up here, having that rim will make my car one of a kind. That and they look REALLY good!

[napapacoda]

I just called up Scott. I guess other people have called him now that I bumped up the post. He said originally they were releasing him the wheels, but then after he ordered them Honda backed out so he can't get any of these. He said that they might release them in late september, but thats just a rumor. He said the second he finds out that he can purchase them, he will post again on ephatch.com.

Sucks for me because I want them for summer wheels. I guess i'll have to look elsewhere for some sweet 16" wheels. Ideas anyone?

[IchBinEinSiR]

"I guess i'll have to look elsewhere for some sweet 16" wheels. Ideas anyone?" [Quote from Napapacoda]


Try Volk Racing TE37's in 15" or 16", a salesman told me they were 8lbs each!! He also quoted me $600 CD a piece!! OUCH!! I guess magazines get these cheaper or something because just about every project car you see has these.

I am actually looking into Weld Racing RaceLite R/S 17x7". They weigh in at 11.2lbs a piece, which constitutes an 8lb per wheel reduction over stock alloys or approximately 32lbs less rotating mass. Definately an improvement for accelleration. I have gotten my first quote back at $427 CD a piece. If you hear any better please let me know.

Yes, I know these are a lot more expensive, and lighter than the FP wheels in this thread, but if anyone knows of other lightweight, half decent looking wheels at a reasonable price, just post it.

[StrangeShadow]

15' te37 = 8lbs think the 16' are about 12...
..just need to find an ex w/the fp package and the fp wheels are yours...j/k ...hope they become obtainable soon..

[IchBinEinSiR]

"..just need to find an ex w/the fp package and the fp wheels are yours...j/k ..." - StrangeShadow

Is it still considered stealing if we give them our stockers...

Anyway, I found a set of wheels that are really nice:

OZ Superleggera - 16" $340 CD / 17" $376 CD

[StrangeShadow]

actually I wouldn't be surprised if you can find someone wlling to trade, a lot of ppl want si wheels to put on their ex'' ect..

good choice, the superleggeras look nice on eps

[todaCspec]

You should be able to purchase them, what if you dent one rim? Don't tell me that you'll have to ride on your donut until September.

[2k2SiAutoXer]

good point, if the dealership asks for a vin # just find a ex with the fp and use that info to order them

Pure Genius! Does anyone know if you need to have anything else besides a vin to order replacements? I'd just be afraid since they might realize the owners name is different than your name.

This is the response that I got for a similar question regarding the FP wheels.

Handa-accessories.com
Hi,

If that is the case and the FP package was installed under all the guidelines form Honda - that is, "installed by a dealership technician, and then registered with Honda at the time of the install", Then you would need to have your local dealer contact either their district parts manager or district service manager, who can then order the replacement wheel(s) for you. It's just that Honda will not sell them as accessories through normal ordering channels. The only reason we could figure is that they made just enough of them to be available for damage replacement or warranty claims, and not enough to put them on the market as an accessory.

[redronin22]

imagine how muhc money they could have made if they offered a type-r "like" kit for our cars with suspension and boy kit wheels package at a REASONBABLE PRICE i/e 2000-3000 tops. not this 4000 for rims kit n a wing. jeebus Honda!

[Steve02Si]

The closest thing I've seen to the CTR wheels is the Racing Sparco Tarmac (link to pic below). It comes 16", 17", 4x100, it's pretty light, and it's reasonably priced. I would have gotten this wheel, but I managed to find a set of FP wheels!:p

[hamproof]

fsugatorbait has them.

http://ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11782

6 spokes vs. 7 spokes though.
