Just ordered some VX rims......
 

Hope that will get me at least a couple MPG better than my stock steelies.

I'll post up some pics when I get them and get them on.

Is hoping for 2 or 3 mpg too much to ask for?

2 to 3 might be ambitious, unless you're getting good LRR tires to go with it.

Regardless, they look really cool :)

it all depends on the driving you do. they wont do anything for highway driving but you might get less than 1mpg in city driving. its hard to quantify.

anyway to answer your question, 2-3mpg is beyond way to optimistic.

ar eyou upgrading from steel wheels? if so congrats and let us know the total weight reduction number~!

Have I ever said how much I wish I could have put my VX rims on the Blackfly? Oh, right. I guess I have.

Ok it was nice to wish for 2 to 3 but I will take 1 if that is all I get.

Oh they will look better than my steelies. I have different style and different color steelies on now so anything will look better.

I will try to get a weight reduction number when I get them changed over.

what tires?
 

What tires are you going to use with them?

I noticed around a 2mpg increase when I switched my two front 175/70 snow tires on steel rims, back to my 165/70 tires on vx rims, it's the best comparison I can give.

Brand new firestone 185/70/13 are on them. So I will run them for a while and see.

I've been looking for VX rims for a while, most of the time one of them is curbed or the seller wants to much for them....then theres shipping....where did you get them/how much? Mak

I got them for $230 shipped with new tires on them. The look to be in good shape with minimal "curbage." I found them on Honda-Tech for sale threads

that is an excellent price. I paid $200 with tires (185's... err!) but I had to pick them up in San Diego when I was in southern California. I also had to pay an extra $50 to get them on the airplane when I came home.

It is always good to hear that. These have 185's on them but they will have to work for now.

ah, the vx posse is taking over, i love my rims, still haven't painted the fronts though, :(

Yea, are you sure that the VX posse isn't really just the HX wannabe posse.:D

One of the remarks jared made to me when he saw my vx rims was how much better they looked than the hx, and I agree.

They look the same to me. I must be goling blind.

The HX rims have a sharp ridged on the inside of the spokes, the vx are completely smooth.

Mac, I just did a search for vx rims in NC and found two junk yards with them $50 each https://car-part.com/

I will take your word for it. I guess you cant tell when they are moving so meh.

sweet Ryland thanks....Ill have to look into that.....

too bad the vx style doesnt come in 14s..... thats why i have the hx rims and i still have to get spacers so that they will fit over my new brakes.
