post some pics so we can help you decide.

what you could do, is get the 15" rims now and then upgrade to like 205/50/15 eventually i believe. Not sure of the exact size but you get what im saying.

i'm not sure if the rotas would fit the stock tires. the rotas might be too wide

Honestly Im not that crazy about either one...If I had to choose from the 2 it would be the first pick. The mugen lookalikes are ugly and so are the real mugens. The only problem with the first one is I think it is very played out.

The real will fit your stock tire i do believe. If you have any concerns, goto your local Discount Tire or other tire store about talk them, they can help you out.

And...

Why are you changing rims? Are you just looking for something a little different? Because I just looked and saw that you already had rims (the 02 and up SI rims which i think look very nice). I thought you were rollin on the steelies...

If you already have the Si wheel...Just be happy and save up for a bigger rim.

My question is why? you will get a more noticable performance boost by changing the tires to a better/stickyer tread then by geting lighter wheels. if your going for style, then ok, but for performance, tires are often ignored. (even though they are the only thing attaching you to the ground)
