Any rim from 2001 onwards will fit any age of Fl1.
Definitely post your build (with loads of pictures) here - I am seriously thinking of doing the same on mine, before the London Mayor makes me sell my Hippo on thanks to the extension of the ULEZ (aka the older-car tax) - although I could just leave this parked in Wiltshire outside my dad's house... (now there's a thought!)
Can you still buy these new?
That's correct - the modulars available for the FL1 aren't hubcentric (which strikes as odd) - but you can get centre-bore adapter rings, which was going to be my plan until I spotted Danyou's post above
I’m not sure rob I got mine second hand,larger off set as well so saves you money on spacers and IMO there safer not overly keen on spacers unless you fork out £200odd quid for a decent set.Can you still buy these new?

I would rather change a bearing than see my tyre overtake meI'm not keen on spacers either Gary - plus there's that concern regarding the longevity of wheel bearings with the increase of offset. That said, the car is a toy more than a daily driver (I can't drive to work in central London) - so I'll see whether the CR-V modular wheels are still an option to buy new
lesser of two evils lol
To right!!!I would rather change a bearing than see my tyre overtake me
I don't think so Rob but not certain. Once you have the kit fitted you will know for sure.
