SC rims will fit just fine :)

They also fit on Supercharged Civic Si's in case you're wondering ( one of my old rides)

wow, it does look good on the civic and the EX. Kinda weird that I it looks better on the EX than the SC.

It's subtle but if you look close you can see that I had painted the core (5-spoke) with Galaxy Gray Metallic body color. It makes more of a difference than you might think in its overall appearance, but it is very subtle....

Yep! I have them on my 4WD EX. They look fantastic... and they (almost) match my polished metal metallic paint.

And therein lays the problem. It appears that mother Honda chose an odd color for the SC wheel that 'almost' matches some of the car body colors. For me they were always just enough off to be a bother. You can see the SC in the background has the stock wheels, whereas the one in the foreground is has the wheels color matched... I would not match a lime-green, a canary-yellow, or fire engine-red though...

thats why it looks so much better on that EX! Its got a clear contrast between the core and rim. Its weird how honda used a bland color for the SC wheels, I guess so it'll go with any color in the line up.

is the inverse also possible:

ie: EX wheels on an SC? i've been considering getting a winter tire setup and saw some good deal on ebay for some EX" rims.

The brakes are the same on LX/EX and SC so all rims are interchangable.


For the record OEM EX rims are 16's.

yeah, i kept searching after i asked that question and found my answer.

but thank you for the info :)


speaking on SC rims -- anyone else's getting that "pitting" on the lips at all? looks like clear coat stripped off kind of appearance...

Akuma, did you find a set yet? Thinking of changing my SC rims out for something different.
