    Which is still pretty dumb. What's the point of covering up some HX wheels that come STOCK on Honda's anyway? It just doesn't make sense. I can understand him wanting light wheels, but again, what's the point of covering them up? It's not like HX wheels look that good anyway

    The point is to keep the car looking as "original" as possible. Don't forget rocking other OEM Honda rims is the "in thing" right now.

    Then that EF is an original looking car, not a "sleeper". It's got a Hype R swap wow...aren't "sleeper" cars supposed to look stock/ordinary, but posses some power, thus making it a sleeper

    A fully built R in a gutted EF hatchback is a pretty quick car. Around 200whp in one of Honda's lightest bodies. Even if it's not gutted, it'll still be pretty quick. I'm not saying it's mega quick, but it'd surprise you if you saw it on the street and pulled up to a red light with it. That's the object of sleeper cars - surprise.
