yea the 18 in. wheels with the low-profile tires look cool and handle great but don't hit a curb or a pothole with them.

Got them 25mm all around?

I love the wheels could have made them wider to fill the wheel wells though. I don't like sharing the same looking wheel though with the sports. Honda should have just at least make the Si wheel specific for the Si like in the past. I am talking design.
Yea, got the 25mm all around. Agree with you on the design.

..... Or any other random object in the road! Like I did! Ugh!!!

Not sure what it was, but, demolished my rim and now I'm looking to buy a single 2019 Si wheel and tire.

Anyone willing to sell just one to me?
Closer to Ohio the better!

Yeah these are the best oem wheels imo besides the rsx ones. They both work perfectly with the style of the car. Only wish they were lighter

related to another post above I never take tight turns now. Bashed my wheels once and never again. I’ll wait even if people are impatient behind me

Saw the same design, but smaller, on a Honda van in Okinawa this summer. I had to look twice -- "Hey, those look like my Sport Touring's wheels...!"

It does? Heh!

I haven't decided whether to start a thread and post all the JDM cars I saw -- meaning all the kei-class and box-shaped cars like this one. Most of the sporty JDM cars that I saw, like Skylines, Supras, and whatnot, were on the US military base. Everywhere else, these boxy cars ruled the roads.

One of my favorite Hondas was the N-Box. I found this walkthru vid later, and it looks like this Custom trim is like they took my Sport Touring and condensed it into half the car. It's got every feature that mine does plus a few extras.

I like the blend of black paint and exposed alloy on these wheels. The Si's in particular with the machined alloy looks awesome, but I'm guessing will make scratches a real pain to remove.
It’s not scratches i’m seeing. The paint chips off completely very easily. Its very thin.

You're talking about the black painted parts? Hmm, I might look for a cheap way to put some protection on those then while mine are still relatively new.

Yes it does, and the tailgate opens in 2 directions, the regular lift up, and the "waku waku" opens half the tailgate like a fridge:yes:

I think the Kei cars are really something we can be inspired a lot, since they're so popular there, there're many accessories that are made for them.
I think I saw on Minkara a while ago, someone got a OEM accessories pouch made for a Kei car (or may e the Freed) and put it on the FK7, I believe it's just velcro stick it on the back of the rear seat, just like the seat back protector. I've also saw the OEM accessories that makes the front H emblem to glow :love:
