looking at getting stock wheels...

but of course, i have some questions.

the two i am interesting in are these:

16" wheel:


15" si wheel:


i really like the 16", but would like to see it on a coupe first, would anyone have that rim by chance with a pic

i've always liked the si looking wheel, its a 15" like my current stock steelies (02 ex coupe), i was thinking that with the 15" wheel, i can still use my current tires. i bought these tires in october of last year, so they still have great tread.

its racking my brain, i like both wheels, i just want to enhance the look of my car a little.

what do you guys think?

I recently got the very same wheels from handa and am very pleased with them. They came individually packaged in pairs. In each package, the face of the rim was nicely padded to minimize possibility of damage during shipment. In each box you get a rim, owner's manual insert, center cap, valvestem and door jam sticker.

They are a bit more grey than the pic on the website led me to believe, but look very nice on my 01 2dr nonetheless.

fuzion* wouldnt be on top of the list, but their OK. much better tires out there than those.. but there pretty much bridgestone/firestone's performance tires i believe?


look into the bridgestone line-up. if your just looking for daily driving tires, check out the potenza re950 or other better potenzas. check out the ratings at www.tirerack.com and www.1010tires.com

get 16s, you can upgrade your brakes that way and get bigger brakes, with the si you can change to bigger rotors.

not like i'm looking into big brakes, maybe new rotors because mine are warped again and i had them resurfaced just 4 months ago (maybe i need new pads then?).
