Civic 06 prices .. anyone already put a deposit or buy one?

I reckon why pay top price for Honda's Rims? they don't look that great, I am sure one of the people that have the sport here have a set of 16" for sale, they put on aftermarket straight away. In terms of Warranty, they love to void everything and any thing when it comes to a claim. I have always been told that you are allowed to go up 2 inches following the placcard, Just keep in mind, that the profiles and rim size must all match back to the diameter of the wheel before and after the change. Good luck!

lots of VT-i's and VTI-L;s and ALL SPORTS are now june/july

OMG! is this only for melbourne? or Australia WIDE?

I thought CIVIC is one of the every body car... not like a elise or sumthing that has limited production, how many exactly are made per month?

DEMAND > SUPPLY???

Australia wide, i've been told June/July also.

i did speak to honda australia about this matter (wheels) i told them i have purchased the new civic & wish to put my own wheels on the car, i explained the size (17") & have made sure they are the same rolling diameter of the original stock wheels & tyres.

the person at honda did say & i quote.... you may put whatever wheels & tyres you wish on the car after all it's your car. as far as warranty is concerned you may only have a problem if the aftermarket wheels are a course of a problem in that area i.e steering, suspension, but providing your wheels & tyres are the same rolling diameter i can not see this being a problem.

to be honest this is the first time i have ever heard of such a thing. i have owned subaru, ford, opel (holden) etc i have never had a problem with fitting aftermarket wheels, providing they are within 10% of the rolling diameter of the original wheels & tyres.

PUTTING AFTERMARKET WHEELS & TYRES DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY ON YOUR WHOLE CAR.

Did you get that in writing?

no need to get it in writing. if it's the dealer saying that it voids your warranty
on your whole car ring honda australia & tell them what the dealer told you.

honda dealers say this as a sales ploy to make you think that the only alloy wheels that can be fitted to your car are genuine ones.

it is just not right.

i mean if your going to be stupid & put 18's or 19's on your car then your only asking for trouble.

for a 17" wheel you need to put a 45 series tyre on it, do not put a 40 series tyre on as it does not meet the same rolling diameter.

if in doubt contact honda australia directly.

yeah its aus wide, the civic is very popular! its just like when the mazda 3 came out, everyone wants one and there are only so many they can supply per month!

massive demand and a small supply = longer waits and less discount

Get ever think in writing, in court word of mouth doesn’t hold up. Blk Vti iv got that same answer from deal but they wont give it to me in writing.. I'll let you guys know what happens dealing with Honda Aust over some issues.

Good little car guys........went for a fang with some euro cars last wkend.

It could do with better tyres. :thumbsup:
