Civic Hybrid.Hallo forum,
these weeks I am looking around for alloy wheels - mostly the 16" - in the direction of greater aerodynamic efficiency. To develop my CR-Z in a hypermiling direction.
My reference, below are the wheels from Honda Insight mk1:

Do you heard of rim manufacturers who have compatible flat models?
thx
Flat alloy wheels for hypermiling

I am not understanding the humor... maybe translation.
A note, these are quite nice looking Sparco rim covers. Not that bad.
Also it seems that many steel wheels around are actually lighter than the average alloy wheel...
I find it very odd that you cannot put 15" wheels on the car since some CR-Zs and other Honda's have 15" wheels. What is the reasoning for that legal restriction in your country(If it actually exists and is not a misunderstanding of information that relates to something completely different about wheels & tires)? It should not matter as long as the speedometer is not off because of it and with the right size tire it will not be.
I know you have strict rules about winter tires and that you have to run them. They can be all season but have to have the special alpine winter icon to indicate certified as a winter use tire on the tire and there is a minimum tread depth but that does not restrict you from running a different size wheel. I did a little searching online here in the US so I might not have all the correct information since I am searching here and in English.
Do you know that and have it in writing or have you been told that? There is lots of weird things people talk about that are said and are FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt).

I just do not understand why anyone would argue or try to convince on something like this as long as the wheel and tire combination in that size is not inherently unsafe for some reason.
That being said even in the US we have outdated laws that make no sense at all and need to be changed. (If there is even a law covering wheel size in Italy)

Do not underestimate the EU/Italian burocracy, it's real:I find it very odd that you cannot put 15" wheels on the car since some CR-Zs and other Honda's have 15" wheels.

"If you opt for tires with dimensions other than those specified in the booklet, first of all you run the risk of not being able to mount them as they are unsuitable for the rims supplied, and then you can face administrative sanctions, with fines starting from a minimum of 422 euros and up to 1697 euros; to this, moreover, the seizure of the vehicle and the withdrawal of the booklet can be added."

PS With a new homologation it is possible to mount wheels of different sizes, but it costs too much.
the Tire size include wheel diameter. 195/55/R16 or 205/50/R17 would be what is specified in the registration paperwork.
also, "booklet" is a bit of a slanted translation. It's the registration paperwork for the vehicle. Run the wrong tires, they impound the car and confiscate your tags.
