Steel Wheels

Full agreement, very nice. Easy to put on? Snug?

I really don't think those are too bad. To the untrained eye, they don't look THAT different from the OEM alloys. I'd be happy enough with those for the messy winter months.

Thanks, I had to search Amazon quite a bit for something that looks even remotely similar to the oems. I've actually had a couple compliments on them. Pretty happy so far.

Yes, they are pretty easy to put in. There is a metal wire that you put in behind the plastic grip tabs. There are three levels of adjustment for better fit. I used the smallest one and it was quite snug. I tugged on them to make sure they will stay on. So far so good.

The hubcaps that came on my 16 LX pulled off so easily that I'm sure they would have fallen off on their own at some point anyways, on a related note, anybody want to buy some hubcaps?

When the Civics came rolling in the back a few months ago I was a bit disappointed in the cheap hub caps they downgraded to. Even the techs in the back agreed that Honda skimped out. The hub caps just snap on the the wheels with no need to remove lug nuts as they cover it.

Just lost my first hubcap, noticed it this morning. Very annoyed, they definitely did cheap out on these. Haven't even gone for my 1st service yet.

I just put on my winters on my new 2016 civic. the center bore and on the front steelies look so exposed. I'm hoping to buy honda steel wheel center caps to cover them and make them look a bit nicer. the steel wheels are sized 5x114.3 64.1mm. does that mean I need a center cap that's exactly 64.1mm? Also, can I install this by simply slipping them in? or do I have to uninstall the tire, put in the center cap and then reinstall the tires?

thanks!

Here is how they look on the Civic

Do those wheel covers stick out pretty far from the hub itself? Enough to walk up to it and be able to see the actual lug nuts behind it? I just purchased these on my LX and they look great but stick out compared to the stock ones

They do stick out a bit, not sure if you can see the actual lug nuts behind them though.

I say leave it. winter is dirty so point of spending more than you have too.

If you wanted to ball out for winter, get alloys.

Honestly, I love what Honda put on the Sport Touring Hatchback that I might get steelies next winter.






Being tight on funds is the other reason. LOL
