Did Honda make another factory wheel option for the Clarity, other than the one with the partial cover? I see this as an option, but was it actually designed for the Clarity with the desired wind effect? https://www.collegehillshonda.com/product/08W18-TRT-100.html Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
AFAIK, Honda has never said a word about how aerodynamic the Clarity accessory wheels are. They don't have the expensive (and sometimes damaged by tire stores) resonators that supposedly make the OEM wheels quieter. I had my dealer mount winter tires on the OEM wheels before I took delivery of my Clarity just as a huge snow-storm descended in November, 2017. In the spring of 2018, the OEM tires went on a set of the Clarity accessory wheels. I like the look of those wheels much better than the OEM wheels, so for the past 5 years, they have served as my non-winter wheels. I've always been able to get the rated 47 miles of EV range, but never the stellar 55+ miles other forum members have reported.
Besides preference, are there any other reasons to get a Honda wheel vs an aluminum wheel in 18x8, 5x114.3, +50, with a CB >= 64.1 and a hub ring if necessary? Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
