Have anyone replaced their 06 HCH's wheels???
 

Have anyone replaced their '06 HCH's wheels? If so, can you post some pictures of your new wheels on your HCH. Thank you. :D

I haven't yet but I have really been deabating on changing them. I don't really like the look but I don't want a hit to FE in changing them. I think I have decided that I will get the same size wheels 15" and keep the factory tires. I found a good looking set of 5 spoke 15" chrome wheels from Honda that I think will look really sharp.

Here's the only one I know of from ftlum:

There have been a few others - HCH I's though. I replaced mine back in Nov for my 03. I went with lighter rims (dropped 2.3 lbs per wheel) but went with spoked. I think there is something to the wind resistance of the wheels. I'd be hard-pressed to show you data, however at face-value the disk wheels should provide lower drag than spokes. However, I have not noticed any degrade with my wheels - no benefit either. And I do like the look better.

I'm not crazy about them, but I do think that the flat surface is probably better for drag.

Besides, maybe they're just ugly enough that no one will want to steal them.

The dealer told me that the disk wheels on the HCH II provide lower drag and light weight makes about 1-2 mpg better than the old wheels but I think they're kind of ugly!

I'm thinking replace it with this wheels: http://jlbmotorsports.com./images/homeimage.jpg

Not unless they have a 5-lugnut version of that wheel, you won't.

You're right! They don't have the 5x100 Bolt Pattern. Now...start all over again!:(

Picked ours up yesterday with new wheels - 16" alloys 5 split spoke in charcoal. The charcoal colour looks good with the galaxy grey body. Also added garnishes and revrsing sensors.
