well 16'' is as big as i would go. but pretty much any wheel that has a 4x100 lug pattern. look around in our gallery at some hatches. find some wheels you like. or you can go to google images or any other search engine and type in EG hatch. with just a quick search i found 1000+ hatches.

x2 definitely check out the gallery. there are tons of nice hatches on there.

what color is your car?

what color is your car?

good job with the first car. Have fun but also be careful. I have 16'' rims on my car and thats exactly what I wanted. 17'' seem to big to me and 15'' where to small for me.

Also I would look into some security items for your car(alarm, kill switch, club, so on) because hondas get stolen like hot cakes.

Well, i was thinking that i wanna use 17" anyway i'm gonna check it in google first.oh yeah so what do you mean is i can't use more than 4x100 bolt huh?
Thank you so much for the advise man appreciate that

[trequartista_10]

Well, my car color is red.
actually i'm thinking i wanna buy white rims.
what do you think?
Thanks for the reply appreciate that

[trequartista_10]

Yeah i know honda is the highest stolen car, and actually i wanna get my alarm but its too expensive for me to get the power lock, i asked future shop and they'll charge me around 300$ for the installation and 2 doors power lock. Do u know where i can get the cheaper one?
And can u explain me about the kill switch what for is that?
And how about the club? do u mean join a club?
Sorry man i'm not from here, so maybe i have some problem with some word hehehe anyway,
Thanks a lot for your advise, really appreciate that.

[SweetHonda24]

i think black would look better on a red hatch.

This should help you with all your security needs

and I would make security a first thing to do specialy if you live in a high theft city.

hmm red car to me looks good with either...gold/bronze/black/alum. rims

[kevoweb]

bronze wheels ftw!

[jjmajed]

Well, yeah u rite man, i should get the safety first.
My car has a immobilizer, i heard some people told me, no one can break the immobilizer is that right?
Is immobilizer is the same with the kill starter?
Thanks for the reply appreciate that.

Yap actually i'm considering either black or white though.

an immobilizer is nothing to a skilled thief....even some novice ones. I could get past an alarm with all the work I have done on my car alarm...So take your time if you do it yourself and do it right.

Hmmm I didnt think your car came with one, does it have a factory alarm? And a factory alarm is crap.

Wow Thank you so much for the advise man, I will get the alarm as soon as possible and forget the wheels hehehe, but anyway can u tell me where i can get power lock cheaper than future shop or visions? I dont need the alarm system because i got one here, just hasnt install only.

For a cheaper price you just going to need to call around and get a quote.

Your alarm brand is arctic start? Hmm never heard of them. If you paid 28 bucks for it I am not sure I would trust it with my car. My alarm totaled around 350.

Theres nothing you can really do to keep your car, cause in the end they can always tow it if the want the car that bad. Some ways to prevent it though are:
-Lojack
-an alarm that is installed correctly(hide everything) paging alarm is even better
-with the alarm install extra options like hood and trunk pins, batter backup, more sensors

there are more, just be smart who you show stuff thats on your car and where you park.

350$ for your alarm? where do you get it?include the installation and power lock?or your car has originally power lock?
"For a cheaper price you just going to need to call around and get a quote"-> what do you mean?call where?
Well, yeah i know if they really want my car they will tow it and its even easier hehehe...
what is lojack? can you explain it to me?
Thanks man, appreciate that.

yes 350 for my alarm. I purchased it at Ultimate electronics. The price included install. The car came stock with power locks (ex).

Call some electronics stores in town and see what they say. Bust out the phone book and look under the yellow pages for alarms/security for automobiles something along those lines.

**if you have your alarm installed at a regular old electronic store like circuit city, ultimate electronics, best buy...the installs are basic. That means the alarm is usually just put under the dash and there is no attempt to hide the wires or unit itself.

your welcome, np
