slipstreams have 15x7?i thought the widest is 6.5 in 15" if u using 205/50/15, 15x6.5 is wide enough

thanks

15X7 is good, but Kosei makes a 15X7.5 the K1 TS which is better.. and it costs about $140 each

but there are a lot of 15X7s availble.

There is a wheel called the Atech Finalspeed. Its made by Esses, the same place that makes my Speedmasters. They're give or take $500. Finding them is the trick.
www.heeltoeauto.com is the only place I know of that sells them. You may find more if you search the internet.
Buddy Club P1SF (the cast ones) are 7" wide, but prolly more like $600. I don't know what 5Zigen FN01RCs cost but I think they're 7" as well.

dezod told me $725 for those 5 Zigens.

I have looked into those Koseis, the FN-01C, the Finalspeed, the Rota Slipstream.

putting 205/50/15's on would mess up your speedo ... =\

so would the 15x7" +40mm offset slipstream fit on my civic with
JIC's ????

i'm really clueless about offsets

robbclark1

iTrader: (8)

yes you will be fine. You could fit about a 38-45 offset without rubbing.

Those tires up there are 5 lug pattern. But I assume you're getting the 4 lug pattern from the "4-100."

How heavy are they?

i know this thread is a month old but... https://www.wheelsnext.com/product.phtml wont give me a width it just says that there 15's. total wheel and tire package is 880.00, is that a good price? and the tires are 195/50/15 will that look funny? thanks anyone.

Intruder

195/50/15's are too short of a tire for our car, 205/50 is the size you are going to want unless you enjoy spinning 4000 rpm at 70 mph. FYI I am running 205/50/15's, and try to find out the width, 15x6.5 is ok, 15x7 is better....

Zzyzx

205/50-15 is still Short for our civics, but they give a nice accleration boost... at the cost of top speed (Who goes that fast any way )


usafstud; I was looking at those when I first started looking at 15's. Nice wheels

red02

thanks guys; have either of you dealt with wheel companys online i read that review that derek did and wheels next and wheel max seem to be the favorites, so i was wondering if when i can order i can change the width of rim that i want and get 205's instead of 195's. ehh??

wait so 205/50-15 will cost us top end speed? i just bought some tires that size too, about what speed will it affect us at?

Zzyzx

Well whats your top speed with stock sized wheels and minus 4.55% if you have a Non EX or 5.47 if you do...

so If your theroetical Top speed with an EX is say 135, then with the 205/50-15s your new top speed will be 127.6155 MPH. But you'll get to that speed quicker!!!

Smaller tires Effectivly shorten the gearing in the car giving you better accleration at the cost of top speed.

127mph?? yeah like i'm gonna be going that fast, lol i started to get worried for a second. i can use all the better accleration i can get with my AT.
