RE: WHEELS... UPGRADING ON THE CHEAP
16'' are too small go with 17''... and if you want a better look go 18''.. but for someone like me that plans on getting this car in car shows 18 are good but for some one that only wants it to drive around go 16-17

RE: WHEELS... UPGRADING ON THE CHEAP
I been researching this...I agree with lpfortekoup, 18's actually look the best. I thought the look of the 17" stock wheels on the SX looked small, even on this car which isn't big. For a daily driver though I wouldn't go past 17"...The ride would be compromised after that.

Hello ,

I just got a SX, switched to 16" wither tires right away and I feel that for my driving habits and my commuting roads 16" with single ply wall tires are a better fit.
I got 16x7 Sacchi02 rims from Canadian Tire and Barum winter tires - a bit floaty but rough road forgiving. Needed hub centric rim adapters and special thin-wall lug key

The original 17"rims& tires (factory nitrogen filled) are about 300kM used and I intended to post for sale.
Unfortunately I am in Toronto...
