Only the VX and ZX get Honda Amaze alloy wheels, both 15 inch: plain silver castings on the VX and a machined, two colour design on the ZX. The V makes do with 14 inch steel rims under covers.
Bolt spacing is 4 x 100 mm across the range, which keeps a steel to alloy swap simple. A few things still need checking first.

Honda Amaze alloy wheels by grade
| Grade | Wheel | Tyre |
|---|---|---|
| V, V CVT | 14 inch steel with full cover | 175/65 R14 |
| VX, VX CVT | 15 inch silver alloy | 185/60 R15 |
| ZX, ZX CVT | 15 inch diamond cut two tone alloy | 185/60 R15 |
| Earlier version V, VX | 15 inch alloy | 175/65 R15 |
Grades with alloys share one tyre, so a VX and a ZX can borrow each other's spare set.
PCD and fitment details
That 4 x 100 mm code means four studs spaced around a circle 100 mm wide. A replacement rim must copy it exactly, fit the hub snugly (directly or with a spigot ring), and keep its offset near the original so nothing touches the strut or arch lining. We found no two sources agreeing on the factory offset, so have the wheel shop measure one of your rims. Background reading: PCD calculator and PCD full form.
Upgrading a V to alloys
Easiest path: genuine VX or ZX wheels carrying 185/60 R15, a pairing Honda already uses on this car. That tyre's overall height beats the V's 175/65 R14 by about 3.4 percent, and the speedometer will show a few km/h less than reality at highway pace. A 185/55 R15 on the same rim nearly matches the V's height, though Honda never fits it. Buy fresh nuts as well; the ones from steel rims rarely seat correctly in an alloy's tapered holes.
Going to 16 inch
No factory Amaze runs 16 inch rims. Wheel shops still sell them with 195/50 R16, keeping height within 0.3 percent of 185/60 R15. That thinner sidewall transmits more pothole shock and leaves the rim lip exposed to sharp edges. Tell your insurance company, and store the factory set safely. Wider guidance sits on 16 inch alloy wheels.
Looking after the ZX machined finish
On the ZX, the bright machined face is protected by a very thin lacquer. Skip acidic cleaners and stiff bristles. Each week, rinse away brake dust with water and a gentle car shampoo. Once a kerb chips the lacquer, moisture creeps beneath and leaves chalky white trails. A wheel specialist can recut and reseal it, as covered in our recutting and lacquer notes.
Wheel nuts and theft
Alloy rims need nuts with a matching tapered seat. Snug them in a criss cross order and finish with a torque wrench, since a full blast from an air gun can stretch studs and distort brake discs. Fifty kilometres after fitting, put the torque wrench on every nut once more. In crowded parking, locking nuts deter thieves; leave the key in the glovebox so any tyre shop can use it.
Damage checks
After a heavy pothole strike, run a finger round the back edge of the rim looking for a dent and notice whether the steering wheel trembles between 80 and 100 km/h. A bent alloy may seep air past the tyre bead over days. A balancing machine will reveal any wobble. A crack means a new rim, not a weld.
Questions owners ask
Which Amaze variants get alloy wheels?
VX and ZX. The VX wears silver 15 inch alloys; the ZX gets a two colour machined finish, equally 15 inch.
What is the Honda Amaze PCD?
4 x 100 mm on every grade.
Could a VX owner use ZX rims?
Yes. Diameter and tyre match exactly. Use proper alloy nuts and get them balanced.
Will 16 inch alloys fit?
Honda never fits them. A 195/50 R16 stays within a whisker on height, yet check clearance and tell your insurer.
Is the spare an alloy?
We could not confirm the spare wheel type on the current car. Lift the boot floor to see.
