Anyone changed to aftermarket alloy wheels?

hi, i am currently driving a gen3 crv FL(2011) with 170k km. Recently i noticed some knocking sound coming from the rear wheel at speed above 70km/h. The sound is more audible when driving on smooth roads. The sound is similar to tyre punctured but I checked all tyres are they are normal. Sent to honda for inspection but the se couldnt find the source of the sound. Can I seek advice from any drivers of crv if any of you have experienced knocking sound as well.

Bro my previous crv 2008 have the same problem as yours.
The knocking sound become louder.

Have u check the wheel bearing?

You both have to wait to find out, seeing as the G5 isn't even a year old yet.

Hello everyone

Just an update. Received my Obsidian Blue TC-P last week and have been enjoying it so far. Appreciate the updates on this thread and I'll post from time to time my observations on the CR-V.

I'm just annoyed that with all the technology, there's no way to have navigation on the CR-V and I have to resort to Waze/Google Maps on my phone.

One nice feature is the "Brake Hold" function. Eliminates the need to step on the brakes or engage the hand-brake during traffic light stops and/or during traffic jam.

I am thinking of the Enkei PF 07.

Made in Japan. Available in 17"x7.5" for the 2.0L, with same PCD (114.3)and offset (45). But it is a bit pricey.

Congrats. Yes, please update here.

I just saw CRV doors is not one piece.

BS...You never had such experiences before..

More BS...Enough with your Oil this and that.. With the way you are adamantly pushing it.. It's actually counterproductive.. Enough la, how many dupes do you actually have eh..

Congrats.. Yes, please do update.. As for navi, even if it came equipped, theirs will be vastly sub-par compared to Goggle Maps or Waze. Car supports AA & CarPlay, best to use it.

Yup, a few number of people has reported such.. Welding points.. SA's typical response is that's normal.. Wouldn't necessarily call it a manufacturing defect as it still does the job.. More of an aesthetic issue and one they should have taken into account before production. Unsure if vehicles produced this year will be the same. I don't expect anything can be done about it.. Have to overlook it.

Appreciate the feedback. I'm a devoted Android head so it sucks that AA is not supported in Malaysia yet. Guess I'll just have to make do and hope that AA comes to our shores soon.

Just an observation, I find myself loving the ACC and brake hold functions far too much. I'm actually afraid I won't be able to adjust to other cars after this.

Anyways, quick question ... anyone knows is it possible to scan (i.e. go forward or backwards) a song on the audio player?

Ahh, another Android-head ... Even though AA isn't officially supported, you can still use it. Just download and install the AA app on your mobile and plug in, both Waze & Google Maps works properly. Zero hackery involved. Yeah, the ACC & auto-brake hold are life-changing, makes driving on long journeys less tiring. Of course, one has to stay alert and ready to take over in case of a malfunction, it's still software after all & glitches can happen..

Awesome ... just downloaded and installed AA. Actually quite trouble free to install. Really can't wait to get off work to try it later.

You mentioned plug in ... I've got a USB cable so that's no issue but can't you use bluetooth to connect though?

Nope, has to be cable-connected. Current tech won't allow for smooth usage over wireless connections especially Bluetooth.. Let's think about it, we still experience hiccups just using calls and audio function over Bluetooth.. Imagine the added data transfers that's required with AA tech.. Then there's battery drainage. At least, while connected, the phone also gets charged. What I advice is to actually get a cheap but capable Android phone and use it permanently for in-car usage. Can also double as a cheap GPS tracker too.

Fair enough. Tried it yesterday and it was awesome.

Please install AA and use it on your car. It was really easy to install ... a doofus like me managed it and so can you.

where got strength if its welded from 2 pieces? never seen such a door

shouldn't it be a single piece of stamped steel?

I suspect it is the bearing as well. Will get it checked.

The fuel consumption of my 2.0L is 12.6 km per litre. 80% city driving and 20% highway.

Is this good or bad?
