    Aluminum Insight wheels (not the spare tire wheel) also look like an interesting lightweight and aerodynamic option for someone who wants to stick with a 14" wheel. Just have to figure out how to get that "H" off the center cap...

    Ha! Can't have no Honda logos. Maybe an epoxy fill would do the trick.

    I spent a little time looking for these 15x4" i-MiEV wheels https://www.hubcaphaven.com/p/10987/...r-painted.html before I found a set of these on craigslist for super cheap. https://www.gomiata.com/kok1tssi14.html
    I don't know how much the i-MiEVs weigh, but considering they're 4" wide and you can put 145/65R15 tires on them, they shouldn't be too heavy.
    I honestly like the Honda spares and wonder if they could be clear primed...they'd look a bit like Corvette wheels https://www.autorimshop.com/chevrole...-rim-1346.html

    Just take a paint pen and drop the middle of the H down and make it an M!
