Default EX rims for the hybrid

They fit just fine. I've had EX wheels on my Hygrid since it had 600 miles on it. Mileage averages between 38 & 53 mpg, and at 25,000 miles, the stock Bridgestone tires have about half their tread left.





The EX tire/rim combo is about 4 pounds heavier than the Hybrid 15" tires and rims, and the overall diameter of the tire is slightly smaller, but that also corrects the speedometer error that happens on the 15" tire setup.




I bought a tire/rim 0 mile setup from a guy on craigslist who bought mags for his EX. I paid $300 for the EX setup and sold the hybrid wheels & tires for $400 to a guy who put them on an Accord.

If you can find some EX rims and tires and rims get them, they add to the cache of the car immeasurably.
