Alloys Choice 17" Blades for Type S?

Clouseau · 16th February 2007, 21:11

Are they available to buy or are in production,does anybody know?

czechplastik · 16th February 2007, 21:15

I don't think they have them in 17".

caz1562 · 16th February 2007, 21:15

No, its just 18" blades which cost £850 if bought with the car.

caz1562 · 16th February 2007, 21:16

17" (£650 when bought with car)
Sedici
Penta
Epsilon

18" (£850 when bought with car)
Blade
Storm
Altimo

IIRC you could double the price quoted above to buy the wheels/tyres if you have already owned the car and wish to upgrade.

Look here - Search for 17" storms as it appears its only the UK that do NOT offer 17" blades.

Clouseau · 16th February 2007, 22:01

thanks...In my country you can buy 17" or 18" storms so when type S starts to be on sale here, maybe there will be some 17" blades also...

Does anyone think there will be any Blades available in 17"

Never say never, but I don't see it, no.

Ren Hoek · 17th February 2007, 02:58

I'd like see blades under my 1.8 sport

The blades are available in 17" (at least here in Finland): http://www.honda-access.com/fi/fi/products/index.jsp

Complete wheels 17 x 7,0 jj - blade

Part #: 08W77-SMG-600G

caz1562 · 17th February 2007, 08:40

If you look in the wiki you'll see 17" storm & blade wheels are available but not to all, limited to certain countries for some reason. It's worth enquiring at your local dealer

Copycat · 17th February 2007, 11:00

Yep, I added that bit after seeing them available at www.honda-access.com Finland.

I assume wherever 17" storms are available you'd be able to buy 17" blades as well.

Copycat · 17th February 2007, 11:02

Come to think of it... why not go to http://www.honda-access.com/268/en/langselect.jsp

Click on your country and scroll down the list to see if they are available or not.

Edit:
Ok. Croatia is not listed. "other countries" might apply in your case.

Also seems like it doesn't work in Firefox so you'll need Internet Explorer.

guess what...the 17" blades are kaiser silver paint (like altimos) and 18" blades are chrome shadow paint...but 17" and 18" storms are both chrome shadow paint... I just don't get it...bloody marketing

the are DEFENITLY available in 17", download the type s brochure from honda-access.com and see for yourself

Foggy69 · 19th February 2007, 11:21

When I enquired about the price of a set of 18" Blades, the UK dealer did have 17" Blades listed, and they were £300 cheaper for the set

caz1562 · 19th February 2007, 11:39

£300 cheaper

- Thought 17's were £200 cheaper than the 18's

Foggy69 · 19th February 2007, 13:46

Sorry, I meant that they were £300 cheaper for the set when bought separately and not with a new car.
I was quoted £1500 for 17" and £1800 for 18" Blades, both with tyres.

When the dealer said £1500, I thought that it was a fairly reasonable price, then he realised he was looking at the 17" price.
