Where can I get those rims for $85 each?

Also, how much does a stock wheel weigh?

But what does it mean by 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7

I know its width so what kind of tires would i need to buy?

the 15 is the Rims size. the second number is like you said how wide it is..



to get a tire for it.. the higher the first number on the tire. the wider it is.. so like 200/45/r15
200 is how wide it is.. i think its in Milimeters... or CM. i forget.. i think its mm.. but anyhow.. the wider it is.. the higher the number.. and its from sidewall to sidewall on the tire.

I have a set of barely used OZ ChonoEvolution 17's. They weigh 16.5lbs. each. They are gorgeous and pretty light for a 17 inch rim. I have them wrapped in NItto Extremes. The Civic cornered on rails with them.

Not much use for em now with my 5-bolt pattern though...

Here are some other subtle ideas commonly overlooked:

- Always drive with less than a quarter of a tank.
- Empty your washer fluid.
- Remove the passenger side wiper.
- Remove the front license plate.
- Empty your glove compartment and all map pockets.
