The seller sent them to my house instead of to my mechanic like I asked...3 times! He's going to try & fix the snafu...so he says. i just want 'em like...NOW! I think they will give my LX a more sportier look than the oem steelies & caps. Guess I'm done with the car after this. Nothing more I care to add to it actually. Just want to enjoy it for the next 5 or so years. The Sandman

Hello, I've searched, and can't seem to find this info anywhere -- can anybody with a 2006 or 2007 Honda Civic EX (with the 16" wheels) report what the manual says about using tire chains and/or cables? I'm considering this car, but make occasional trips in the California mountains, where chains are sometimes required. My old Neon lacked clearance to the front strut, and required expensive (and bulky) "Spike Spiders" traction devices that I used exactly twice in 12 years (but without them wouldn't have been allowed to drive back home over the passes); I'm hoping my next car can just take a cheap set of cable chains... Thanks, Josh

Oh, I was the proud owner of a 2005 subaru impreza wagon until someone creamed her throught a light. 2000 miles on the car and 15,000K worth of damage. Traded her right after she got fixed. The car was a great car and is highly rated in all areas of it's segment. Would be a great car for mountain trecks and with 170+ horses in the entrey level "I" model, the mountains would be no problems. I love my civic but loved my impreza more. I might trade back this year for a 07 impreza wagon. You can't beat a boxer engine for reliability and durability.

Replying to: kero1 (Feb 12, 2007 5:48 pm) I should have asked the parts department, but didn't think of it at the time. We have a 4WD Highlander Hybrid that will get the bulk of any family snow trips; maybe once a year if that we would want to leave that and the kids with the grandparents and take the small car up. It doesn't snow here in Sacramento, so no use for snow tires 99.9% of the time. Even up in the mountains, it's fairly rare to actually need the chains, but if the controls do go up, you chain up or turn around. I really like the Subarus, but rarely have use for AWD in this car, and would prefer the better gas mileage of the Civic. Thanks, Josh |

Had my new rims installed on my LX...'05 Civic Si 10 spoke alloys and so far, so good. The tires have seated well...no leaking and my mechanic balanced them perfectly. They must be light, cause the alignment didn't need any adjustment which I thought it might. Did have to purchase 20 lug nuts as my LX's couldn't be used. Makes the car look totally different also.
