I will like to see you pack your car with at lest two in the back and you will rubbing like a moth ****er.........Get rid of those big ***** and get at least 16" or maybe 17" with a nice chunky tir you will eliminate wheel gap, get better gas milage and be easier on your trans, I keep tellin you these cars are not adjusted to acomodate that wheel ratio, which means that the bigger wheel takes longer to go around while the smaller wheel goes around faster causing less damage to your trans..
But if you want to look big and ride like **** that is your problem!!!

I just put on the 2000 si rims and they look tight im glad ive made a step up from the hubcaps and finally got the si's. but my thoughts still stands big rims only to be put on right b4 a car show when my car is ready other then that i will b driving with the si's on at all times
I am polishing my si rims or what do u think of just leaving them the way they are? My si rims have scratches if anyone can tell me how to get the scratches off then thats cool?

Rep Power: 0 you forgot to add the fact that they cost less than some of these aftermarket stage coach wheels that these guys are claiming are so good plus the #1 fact that you do not need to replace a tire or a wheel after hitting a crater on these great streets we drive on everyday
