    Sticking with original equipment alloys is nice, wheels don't look out of place.

    your stud pattern is 5*114.3 and your offset is 35-45mm. the centre bore is 64mm.

    This means you can fit wheels for a DC5 Integra, an old shape CR-V, or a Prelude from 97 on.

    What colour is the HR-V?

    They are all light silver. Same as this.

    Hope you know the 4WD modes are very hard on petrol.

    Yea, iv been doing research on them for a while. Doesn't seem too bad compared to other cars I was considering.

    Worst people have reported is driving very hard with the vtec engine (18mpg) but most people say they get around 28 when driving normally.

    the VTEC engine in the HRV is an economy tuned version (122bhp), its not the same as the VTEC you'd get in a Civic SiR or similar. most of the older ones around here are the 105bhp SOHC engine. what robs the power is the 4WD system. A 1.8 litre 2WD Rav4 would get an extra 7 or 8 mpg on average.

    Well im moving from a 1.1 206 so I think 122bhp will do me just fine:D
    Iv always liked the hrv's since I first saw one so I dont think im gonna change my mind.

    Don't get me wrong, I really like them too, just was driving one from work back in 07 and found it hard on juice, also that the boot was tiny and the radio only had 2 speakers (despite being an 06) model was a 1.6 VTEC 4WD Si by the way.

    Il keep it in mind. Thanks
    The sound system will be the next thing on my list after the alloys. All the ones I saw had the rear speakers at the very back beside the boot door. Iv also read the stock rear speakers are terrible.

    So to get back on topic. I saw these: media?id=8147759&width=400&height=300
