What are Honda Civic wheels made of?

Honda Civic Wheels Material
The wheels of the Honda Civic are made of cast aluminum or forged aluminum, depending on the specific model and edition. Most wheels are made from cast aluminum, where molten metal is poured into a die. However, for special editions like the Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition, forged aluminum is used to create lighter, stronger, and slimmer wheels.
Please note that the specific materials used for the wheels may vary depending on the model year and trim level of the Honda Civic. It is always recommended to refer to the manufacturer’s specifications or consult with a Honda dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
